When reducing the class from "B" to "start", it would be useful to update the criteria checklist. That way, its deficiencies can be addressed more easily. Folks at 137 17:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
In Anthony Beevor's book, Berlin - The Downfall 1945, he cites widespead looting by British troops, Beevor mentions the scale of plundering was so enormous that one of the officers from Scots Guard, wrote in his memories that in hindsight "Operation Plunder" was an appropriate description. Beevor mentions SAS soldiers robbing paintings from collections and hiding the canvases in the mortar barrels. Some British tanks had so many stolen itens placed upon them, that their turrets could not turn. I think reference to Beevor's book should be made in the articel, Surfing bird 03:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
The photo /info/en/?search=File:Crossingtherhine.jpg is not from operation plunder, It is from St. Goar (description). Can someone change it? -- Kyopy ( talk) 00:26, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
An operation on this scale, and all the artillery and aerial bombing that went into it, massive river crossings by armed forces, and the Germans didn't loose a single man killed, not even any wounded! That has to be unprecedented, especially among WWII battles. No losses but for the exactly 16,000 men captured. Like I said, amazing. AnnaGoFast ( talk) 02:10, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
