[edit] Death

Did the Russians murder Weidling in a KGB prison? Ozdaren 02:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WW1

Does anyone have any information on this man about his service during the first world war? Edwin

The gap in the narrative with no information about the subject of the article from 1911 to 1938 seems curious. It would be surprising if he did not serve in the first World War; if so, in what capacity, and if not, why not? -- Infrogmation 14:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Straying

Just wanted to add that although this is a goodarticle it seems to stray to far into the area of what happened in berlin 1945 rather than being about the man, the article has very little about him as a person. and as an aside, how can one of the previous writers feel sorry for nazis? very odd. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.144.161.223 (talk) 13:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

I agree with the above (unsigned) comment that the article has too much detail on the events around the surrender, and not directly relevant to the biography. Peashy 14:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree as well. Most of this article should be in the Battle of Berlin article. 74.194.82.219 (talk) 15:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Comment

I removed an offensive comment. You can check the history to read it but I felt the description of Russians crossed the line. Freshacconci 14:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dates and times

Several dates and times given in the article (particularly on and from April 29, 1945 through May 2, 1945) are not stated precisely or as precisely as they should be. Some may even be incorrect. There is already much historical confusion over the precise events during these last days of the Reich and this article certainly doesn't have to add to this confusion any more than is necessary. For those who know this information better than I (of which there should be many) please try to be careful and precise with the use of dates and times during the last few days before the surrender of Germany. Please correct this article as appropriate. Thank you. -L.Smithfield (talk) 17:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
