Is there anybody around who could bring my text into real proper English? As a foreigner, I feel some help would be necessary and very welcome. Thank you. --Peter Witte 18:40, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I gave it my best shot, cleaned up the diction and made a couple changes to make it more NPOV. Ellsworth 14:50, 8 May 2004 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. --Peter Witte 17:10, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] rumors or cover-ups about Globocniks death

An anonymous user recently added a few sentences, that the "varied stories of his death, however, were simply cover stories". Now another(?) user more or less insists to insert this in the article on de.wikipedia (de:Odilo Globocnik) as well.

I am not able to find any evidence concerning this claims. A weblink or the name (and ISBN) of some printed publication about this would be very appreciated. Currently it is only an assertion. --Tsui 10:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

October 13, 1941 he received a verbal order from Himmler - any documentation on this, communication intercept,etc? Few orders of the magnitude of ordering the building of a large infrastucture - ie camps - and diverting men,$,materials would go very far in the German Army by having someone say "oh Himmler told me it was all right". He was only a Police Leader in one district - sending out a request for $,men,etc and the diverging of trains to his new pet project must have something besides "verbal orders" - citation needed ( at least cite where the "verbal orders" idea first arose.159.105.80.141 (talk) 16:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

From the appropriate page of "Valhalla's Warriors": "ON October 13, 1941, he received a verbal order from Heinrich Himmler to start immediate construction on Belzec, the first extermination camp in the General Government..." Relata refero (talk) 11:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Found the book by Terry Goldsworthy - a detective in the Australian police force. Do you know what evidence Goldsworthy gives for his knowledge of this verbal statement ( ie where did he hear, talk to someone who heard this, document, etc ). Was this documented evidence or detective deduction - ie it must have been verbal because there is nothing else. I find this book only on sites trying to unload it at discount prices. The book appears to be secondarily sourced - summaries of other peoples writing - with a good bit of imagination thrown. Not one historian seems to have reviewed the book - with the mammoth assertions you would think the book would be a major stir in the holocaust community - no one appears to want to go that far out on a slim limb.159.105.80.141 (talk) 15:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
