Talk:Robert Ley

message: Is there a citation for the article's quote about Ley choosing suicide?  Sounds suitably Churchillian but...
That was from the original that was put up.  I added the "middle."  I've heard of this theory and think it is probably true, he was not executed at Nurenburg, but whether or not he was afraid of what he might be called is contentious.  I've got some books on the subject and I'll look it up.

This article is discussing a ranking Nazi -- in this respect statements such as 'gave him an intrinsic caring for underprivileged and burdened peoples' are at best a little anodyne.  Better to avoid psychological attributions and just focus on the facts of the man's career.  If anyone really is keen to dissect Ley's psychology, this would be better done at more length in a separate section of the article.  The statements 'as any good German Nationalist would do he approached the party leadership for admittance' and 'the Nazi leaders gladly accepted him in order to have a true “academic in their midst”' are a frank departure from neutral point of view.  I've trimmed out some of the more egregious claims (e.g. could the figure of 180000 cruise holidays in 1938 be backed up with a source?), but this article could do with some more work.  Sorry if I tread on anyone's toes -- I guess there isn't really any NPOV when it comes to Nazis.  Wikid 18:27, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I believe that the aspect ratio of the infobox image in this article is such that presented at the infobox's default value it is too large, the visual equivalent of SHOUTING.  I suggest that the current size is more appropriate. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:26, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

message: It says Muchow was purged in 1934, but he had already died in an accident in 1933. How does this make sense? NutteLarsson59 (talk) 23:30, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
