[edit] Capture date of Sepp Dietrich

In the article, this statement is made:

"On May 12, Sepp Dietrich was finally captured by American troops of the US Third Army, [1] four days after Victory in Europe Day."

Sources other than Dollinger claim his date of surrender as May 9 or even May 8 (see http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=8696 for one example). Seeing as U.S. newspaper archives appear have reported on his capture on May 12, it seems his capture must have taken place earlier. I have moved this statement to the discussion page of the article until a firm date can be established. W. B. Wilson 18:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
