A good stub but I felt the need to remove:
with the help of some officiers of the Vatican
Can this be substantiated? What are Vatican officers (or officiers)? It just sounds a bit unlikely in its present form. ~ Veledan | Talk | c . 15:33, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
I don't think there's any denying he was an officer, although at what level is another question of debate. Rashke says (after much in-depth research) oberscharführer, yet in the film he is graded hauptscharführer. Also, if there were no selections, then how could there be people to escape at all? They would all have been killed! However, again according to Rashke, he didn't live under a false name. Who is right?
This stub is filled with errors. Wagner was not an SS officer, he was an enlisted man. There were no selections at Sobibór, it was an extermination facility. Wagner did not 'live happily and carefree' in Brazil, rather he lived in abject poverty and was shunned by most of the German expatriate community. This 'article' should be removed or entirely rewritten with some actual facts.
I am doing a 100% rewrite of this page. I started May 13, 2009 and think by May 25 I should be done. If you got something you feel should be included, let me know on my talk page. Meishern ( talk) 05:31, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
The line referring to Wagner's death, that he was found stabbed in the heart, presumed suicide, has assasination written all over it! Seems strange that a man would say 'I have no remorse' when interviewed a year after his discovery, and then commit suicide a year after that! Anybody: any further info on this? 1812ahill ( talk) 23:43, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
His lawyer is said to have said it was suicide. That said, stabbing one's self in the chest seems a clumsy way to go about it unless there were no tall buildings available to jump off of, no sleeping pills to overdose with, and no rope available to hang one's self with. Given his past I shouldn't think there would have been much concern regarding the possibility of a targeted killing. 2605:E000:CA45:AA00:4587:B301:787B:FD15 ( talk) 05:36, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved to Gustav Wagner; there seems to be consensus that this is the primary topic. ErikHaugen ( talk | contribs) 23:46, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Gustav F. Wagner → Gustav Franz Wagner — This disambiguates Gustav Wagner, the Nazi mass murderer, from another "Gustav Wagner" in the Wikipedia, a bobsledder from Luxembourg. And just having the middle initial in there looks goofy in this case. Hoops gza ( talk) 06:51, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi all some thoughts on Gustav Wagner (Nazi) the article name was changed from Gustav Wagner (SS officer). Nazi seem POV and the article does claim he was an SS Oberscharführer. He very likely was a nazi but is it a suitable disambiguation for an encyclopaedia? Jim Sweeney ( talk) 19:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
It wasn't just jews killed, it was Soviet POW's as well. We mustn't let the jewish lobby re-write history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 ( talk) 08:30, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
I believe some sources state that the Soviet POWs sent to Sobibor had been identified as being Jews and were sent there because they were Jewish. Perhaps someone with free time on their hands can do the research necessary to either confirm or debunk this. 2605:E000:CA45:AA00:4587:B301:787B:FD15 ( talk) 05:29, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
