Talk:Storm of Steel

message: The entry states that the book "is largely devoid of editorialization". But at the end we are told that there has been a relentless revision activity from the first 1920 edition to the last (forty years later). German scholars have proved Junger heavily edited his war diary (editing out some parts, inserting others, changing some important details), to the point that it should be called a novelistic diary. Shouldn't the voice be changed?--213.140.21.227 09:05, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The article said: In the book he stated that English prisoners were shot (? how often), and that doing so was wrong but understandable. Where does he say so? To my memory, he said something different, namely that surrender was not accepted under certain circumstances (shooting until the last second). -- Zz 16:38, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, he says something along these lines. At one point two brittish soldiers delivering food to the front trench gets lost in the fog and more or less walks into the german trench. At this point he comments that they where shot and rationalizes this with that even though he would prefer to have taken them as prisoner, the situation could not afford that. If I can be bothered, I'll see if I can find the exact page in the 2003 translation.  Znog (talk) 02:12, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

text: As semantics tell you, not accepting prisoners is a general act as opposed to not accepting surrender in special situations. The situation was described as somebody shooting at oncoming attackers until the attackers armed with bayonet were at stabbing distance. -- Zz (talk) 17:17, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

text: The main difference between Remarque and Jünger is that the former takes, authentically, the viewpoint of a commonsoldier, while the second takes, authentically, the viewpoint of an officer. --93.133.251.234 (talk) 09:22, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

text: Citations?  It's in the book: the author was in favor of shooting prisioners in certain circumstances.   At least in the verson of the book from about 1929.  This might be sorted out fast if the people who said that that was not in the book said what edition they were reading.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Nielsen (talk • contribs) 05:35, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  That is neither a quote, nor a reference, nor a citation. There are some nice introductions to wikipedia you might wish to read. -- Zz (talk) 17:27, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shooting prisoners 

message: The entire section is without references. It looks as if it is based on original research. It has a NPOV issue as well, as it seems to be in defense of Jünger's book. -- Zz (talk) 13:42, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Position towards war 

message: Starting with a quote by Goebbels is supposed to send a clear message. Sopmebody tried to counteract this by quoting Gide in return. However, either is just not enough or even inappropriate as a reflection on the reception history of the book. -- Zz (talk)
real talk, the book was well-received by both fascists and leftists. that happened. deal with it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.36.151 (talk) 00:54, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
