On 6 December 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Heinz Guderian, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that German World War II general Heinz Guderian issued post-war apologetics for Hitler, writing that "his struggle was about Europe, even if he made dreadful mistakes and errors"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Heinz Guderian. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Heinz Guderian), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Perhaps you could take a look at Talk:Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, where I asked about this a while back and next to nobody even cares to offer an opinion. Sigh. -- Hanyangprofessor2 ( talk) 05:00, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
Quick question-what do you think about Nazis who engaged in ethnic cleansing of Polish population being used to source Polish history on Wikipedia,in particular to demonstrate supposed German character of Polish territories and cities? In particular this guy Walter_Kuhn is used on couple of articles to source claims about Germans being dominant population.-- MyMoloboaccount ( talk) 00:41, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ― Buster7 ☎ 14:51, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi @ K.e.coffman: I came across this phrase cultural rescheduling when doing research. I was related to something to do with the sacking and burning of libraries of the very rich in Poland. These were the folk that left to the very end, and then they would show up and burn all the books, burn and destroy all paintings and religious and othger artefacts that couldn't be sold and the owners were rounded up and destroyed as well. When I first read it, I thought the impact of only two words was astounding, the whole meaning behind it, the weight of the words. I've looked for it since but I have not seen it. It obviously has a deeper meaning in that context. It brought it home. scope_creep Talk 18:02, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Nice article. I had a little trouble with some of the quotes; some notes:
"Don't throw away your weapons yet. Take them up. Destroy the enemy. (...) Muscovites, the Hungarians, the Jews—these are your enemies. Destroy them."I changed "Muscovites" to "Moscow" per the cited source. If you want, you can put it back in as "[Muscovites]". Also, the ellipsis (...) which denotes omitted text should either be in square brackets or unstyled. MOS:ELLIPSIS says that square brackets can be placed around the ellipsis for clarity, but that this isn't normally done. I'll leave it to you. (There is a current discussion about this at MOS talk.) Consider removing "Destroy the enemy." from the quote (extending the ellipsis), as it's a bit redundant with the closing "these are your enemies. Destroy them."
"on the Jews (...) who had always collaborated with the Bolsheviks"Here, again, the ellipsis should either be
...or
[...]. I'm refraining from making the change myself as I'm in an ongoing discussion related to this style.
"helping the Ukrainian people liberate themselves from Muscovite occupation".I didn't spot this quote in the source.
Over the next two years both German and pro-Nazi Ukrainian press including Ukrains'ki shchodenni visti, Krakivs'ki visti and others, went on to describe horrific acts of chekist torture (real or imagined) with the number of Ukrainian casualties multiplied out of thin air, wrote historian John-Paul Himka.I wanted to rephrase "out of thin air" but did not spot where the source was describing this.
Interesting article. Please ping me for any follow up. – Reidgreg ( talk) 21:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
