thread_title:  Wrong picture 

message: Ack, we have to find another picture of Ganz.  The Hitler picture from Das Untergang is, well, too much like Hitler and too little like Ganz.  It is rather like visiting the Tobey Maguire article and seeing him depicted in the Spider-Man face mask. --Saforrest 21:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please find alternate image 

message: I remember seeing Ganz in Tanner's Dans la ville blanche. See the German article:
1983 In der weißen Stadt (Dans la ville blanche)

thread_title:  There is one film missing from the list 

message: He went on to portray Adolf Hitler in Der Untergang (2004), as perhaps only the second native German speaker after Albin Skoda to play Adolf Hitler on screen.
This is not correct IMO. Coming to my mind is only one other (Armin Mueller Stahl in "Conversation with the beast"), but then there might be more. Even so, already the word "perhaps" seems a little out of place here. I'd rather have the whole remark gone (or modified to something along the lines of "...one of few...") than to try to include one by one all movies which may still be revealed.

thread_title:  Native Speakers portraying Hitler 

message: I would have liked more information about Ganz's early life, and his parents. One brief but interesting point was that Ganz's mother was a Northern Italian. I'd been a little puzzled by this Swiss actor's beautifully spoken Italian in the film Pane E Tulipani. It seems he must have absorbed the language with mother's milk.

message: Sources differ, and we should probably say so. Some say Friday (night) (NYT, BBC), some say (early hours of) Saturday (SZ, Tagesanzeiger), some say during the night (FAZ, 20min.ch, later), some don't give any such information (Guardian), just say informed Saturday (20min.ch, hollywoodreporter.com). It probably also depends on where the source was written. IMDb is not considered reliable. I read early on Saturday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:09, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Concerning the sources in French, most citing Agence France-Presse say: during the night from Friday to Saturday. It appears that some sources also mentioning AFP simplified this to Saturday, but that's just a potentially incorrect simplification. FYI, I had done a submission to IMDb with sources giving the date 16 February (these were the first ones I got), but it got declined saying that these sources did not constitute enough evidence.

text: hollywoodreporter.com says: "died Friday evening". Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 18:26, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

text: Deutsche Welle says he "died overnight to Saturday in his home in Zurich, [Switzerland], according to German media". —Wei4Green | 唯绿远大 (talk) 20:44, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  The latest ref supports 16, which I read anyway. We could make a footnote that early announcements had 15. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:04, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

text:  There was a similar discussion recently at Talk:June Whitfield. If someone dies during the night, it's not always possible to know exactly when they died. They may only be discovered the following morning. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:29, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  But then, why does hollywoodreporter.com say "Ganz's management confirmed that the Swiss actor died Friday evening at his home in Zurich [...]"? This seems quite accurate information. Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 23:52, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

text:  However, it is blick.ch (a more recent source) that gives the most details, and that would be 16 February around 2:00. Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 00:16, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Where is the text that says "16 February around 2:00"? —Wei4Green | 唯绿远大 (talk) 00:57, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  "Kurz nach zwei Uhr nachts [...]" So, that's a bit after 2:00. And this implies that the date is 16 February, since the death occurred during the night from Friday to Saturday. Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 01:09, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not sure why any publication would give a pretty exact time unless they had a very good source. It's not as if there is a clear "dispute" over the day, it's more use of imprecise language, in perhaps the earliest reports? Martinevans123 (talk) 09:55, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, it seems some journalists try to simplify, transforming "during the Friday-Saturday night" to either just Friday, or just Saturday. Some journalists introduce poetry or whatever. For instance, liberation.fr says "un samedi d’hiver ensoleillé" ("a sunny winter Saturday"), but at the time of the death, then was certainly no sun yet; this introduces confusion. For the place, most sources say "Zurich", but I don't think this necessarily means the city itself; it could implicitly be the region around Zurich, thus does not contradict the village of Au, in Wädenswil. Vincent Lefèvre (talk) 11:00, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: @Vincent Lefèvre: It's still not clear where he died. Swiss Television said he died "in his flat in Zurich". I try to reach his living community for an answer, i come back with the result. So far I deleted Au in the article. KurtR (talk) 20:37, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

text: Please provide a reliable source. —Wei4Green | 唯绿远大 (talk) 23:00, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

text: So surely the imfobox and the text should both say: "Au, Wädenswil"? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:42, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  The official place of death is Wädenswil because Au belongs to Wädenswil and Wädenswil is the municipality. BTW can you or @Vincent Lefèvre check my edit especially because English is not my mother tongue, thanks! Update: just see you are doing it already great. --KurtR (talk) 19:47, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

It's a vandal who is adding the image for mockery. No doubt that it was probably because Ganz's Hitler in downfall became a meme. Report the user to a moderator, or get this page temp-protected from disruptive IPs. -NowIsntItTime(chats)(doings) 20:55, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
