He convinced a Luftwaffe transport plane to pick up his glider and he and his eight men arrived in midmorning, while the battle was still going.

Per the tag line at top of the article for the Fort (not battle), the small size of this article lends itself to easy incorporation to the "Battle of". -- Flightsoffancy ( talk) 21:10, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

What is exact pronunciation of "Fort d'Ében-Émael" ? Please add the IPA. -- Propatriamori ( talk) 00:09, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
The name Eben-Emael is obviously Biblical. But who was Eben-Emael? Where in the Bible? Does anyone know? No internet article on this fort tells the reader who the heck was his biblical Eben-Emael after whom the fort was named??
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) EggRoll97 ( talk) 18:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Fort Eben-Emael → Fort Ében-Émael – WP:CONSISTENT with Ében-Émael, the town after which the fort is named. This seems to be a yet another case of en.wp jingoistically dropping diacritics from non-English names, relying on lazy practice by old writers in English, before the ease of computer-based typography made using diacritics much simpler. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 16:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
