Hmm, I'd read the stuff at Luftwaffe but hadn't seen the History... discussion (wow, an admin protected the article because of your editing?). So that reinforces what I've been saying about moving slowly, so that everyone involved has a chance to read up and comment. Don't worry about the incoming links until you have solidified the actual article split and gotten agreement that you are doing it right. My specific suggestion though is that you should post over at WT:MILHIST talk requesting scrutiny of your work plan for this article. They will be able to check up on the content part of your split (and they know the procedures too) whereas all I can do is monitor attribution. The more people you get involved the better, even if some of them object to some stuff - or actually because some of them will object, like I did over the attribution issue. )
