[edit] Removal of ref to Vatican officiers

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)

[edit] many questions, few answers

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?

[edit] much drama, few facts

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.
