Not that I'm saying that Nazi Germany was a totally racist state, but does anyone know how African American or Afro-French prisoners of war were treated in the POW camps? I don't recall that Nazi Germany then had any anti-Black laws or prejudices (probably because there were very few blacks in Germany so they were not really an issue). Really all I know about this is from the TV show Hogan's Heroes where the Luftwaffe staff at Stalag 13 all treated the black dude (Sgt. Kinch) there just the same as the other white POWS. Is that how it really was? Does anyone here know anything about this from research, or even personal experience in Nazi POW camps (or concentration camps)?

Hi!
On my biography page there's a disclaimer from 2010 that reads as follows:
! This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful. (March 2010)
Very recently I added numerous citations for verification -- one for each statement of fact -- so can the disclaimer now be removed? If so it would be much appreciated. Here is the link to the page:

Thank you in advance for your help!

In May 1943, Operation Chastise, subsequently known as the "Dam Busters", took place. I understand that the book "Allied Photo Reconnaissance of World War !!, edited by Chris Staerck (and published by Thunder Bay Press in San Diego, California, in 1998) includes this Operation. Unfortunately I do not have access to this book. I would therefore be grateful if a user could please let me know whether the locations of the following briefings are to be found in this book: 1) the briefing given before the Operation, 2) the briefing of the reconnaissance mission after the Operation. If so, what were the locations for these two briefings. Thank you Simonschaim ( talk) 07:27, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I just received a hand-me-down projection HDTV. I use a powered indoor antenna with my current TV, and I have great reception of local channels. However, I don't get any reception when I use this antenna on my new TV (it picks up one channel very faintly). I've tried a different antenna to no avail. I'm about ready to bite the bullet and just pay for cable, but it seems odd that my antenna works fine with the old TV and doesn't work at all with the new one: obviously, I'm receiving broadcast signals.
Could this be because the new TV is a projection TV, or is there something else obvious that I'm overlooking here? Thanks! OldTimeNESter ( talk) 19:36, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
