message: Are they really necessary here? The German article on Herr Fest, with much more comprehensive list of his works, is just one click away.--Barbatus 17:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Works in German?

message: I changed it to read 'third'. In the Downfall (film) article I changed it to read 'fourth german playing hiter' because in that article it does not mention "feature" films. I dont think Hitler - ein Film aus Deutschland was such a film and more an art house movie but it was definately a German production. See imdb credits. There have been actually more than this figure of German productions showing Hitler and/or with Germans playing Hitler. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.29.231.97 (talk) 09:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: number of germans playing hitler films

message: This article does not describe Fest collaborating to make the film Hitler, eine Karriere by Herrendoerfer. At that time Wenders also criticized Fest for helping to whitewash and for projecting his strange theories onto a wider audience. In fact, criticism of Fest is not represented here at all. Either for his attempt to make an equality between German and suffering of Jews, or for helping rehabilitate Speer. But on googling a little I discover that the article borrows heavily from a sympathetic obituary from the Guardian newspaper . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.29.231.97 (talk) 10:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Hitler, eine Karriere

message: Having a large photo of Hitler in a biographical essay about Joachim Fest-- a photo three times the size of Fest's own photo-- is troubling, like having a large photo of Charlie Manson in the bio of the woman he had killed, Sharon Tate. Very poor taste, to say the least. I was going to propose, "At least cut the thing down to the same size as the Fest photo and the well-placed Cambodian genocide photo," but then I wondered, "Is it there in case a reader doesn't know who the name 'Hitler' refers to?" Pointless to include it at all. Such a heroic studio portrait on top of that, shot from a crouch to give the little fellow stature. Switch it for a small, unglamorized news photo of Hitler; or a photo of what Hitler did, the consequences; perhaps, to parallel the Cambodia photo, of a concentration camp.Profhum (talk) 20:14, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I have added some of the recent criticisms of Fest's works to the article. There are several citations for this on the German WP page on Fest, but these are all in German. Another source is Winfried Heinemann's article in https://www.bundeswehr.de/de/organisation/weitere-bmvg-dienststellen/zentrum-militaergeschichte-sozialwissenschaften/20-juli-1944-86902, also in German.
