There is not believed to be any form of evidence that the Duke accepted any terms offered by the Nazis in a bid to co-operate with Operation Willi, believing he was initially more impressed by the encouragement he had from the UK Government to become Governor of The Bahamas...
The "Popular Culture" section refers to the TV series "The Crown" and states it depicts Queen Elizabeth II's initial review of the documents and is thereafter seen to banish the Duke of Windsor from the family as a result. I’ve flagged this as dubious; are there any sources that claim this is what it depicts?
It does show her rejecting the Duke’s desire for a substantial role in Britain’s affairs, and it does show her berating him for betraying his country. It also shows her reminding him that he still needed her permission to enter the country. But I don’t see that means banishment; he was already living in exile, and the sub-plot of the episode was of Elizabeth’s concern about forgiveness, so the possibility of his return was left open-ended.
So is this banishment idea from a critical source, or is it just somebody’s opinion?

The article states that "Around 400 tonnes of material was exhumed by the United States military". Does this mean that von Loesch has buried this enormous amount of paper all by himself, in a very short time?
Or do the 400 tonnes refer to all of the papers recovered from the abandoned vehicles, and only a small part of the material was buried and subsequently exhumed? 95.131.98.156 ( talk) 95.131.98.156 ( talk) 13:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
