[edit] Class change - why?
When reducing the class from "B" to "start", it would be useful to update the criteria checklist. That way, its deficiencies can be addressed more easily. Folks at 137 17:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Operation Plunder, widespead looting by British forces
In Anthony Beevor's book, Berlin - The Downfall 1945, he cites widespead looting by British troops, Beevor mentions the scale of plundering was so enormous that one of the officers from Scots Guard, wrote in his memories that in hindsight "Operation Plunder" was an appropriate description. Beevor mentions SAS soldiers robbing paintings from collections and hiding the canvases in the mortar barrels. Some British tanks had so many stolen itens placed upon them, that their turrets could not turn. I think reference to Beevor's book should be made in the articel, Surfing bird 03:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
