Talk:Hans Mommsen

message: the work-section contained several typos and missing umlauts; i corrected some of them but i'm not sure if i got all of them; i recommend that someone who is familiar with this topic should check it -- especially Arbeiterbewegung und Nationale Frage: Ausgwählt Aufsatz seems strange to me (i assume it means Ausgewählte Aufsätze, but i'm not 100% sure). 80.109.120.233
Why was this link  removed? It was a very insightful summary of the Functionalist school and there the various arguments and for against the Functionalists.A.S. Brown 07:07, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following: "Mommsen authored the Institute's official response to the Tobias book, but only after the commission was withdrawn from historian Hans Schneider whose research showed Tobias had manipulated much of the material in his 1961 book. According to Schneider, Tobias misquoted documentary evidence, used quotes out of context to back up his thesis, excluded evidence that failed to support his claim that van der Lubbe acted alone and mistranslated non-German source material. A memorandum written by Mommsen - found in the Institute's own archive - showed that Mommsen had been instrumental with others in the Institut für Zeitgeschichte in suppressing Schneider's research and had suggested bureaucratic methods (later adopted)for silencing Schneider because "his conclusions were politically unwelcome". The Institute itself acknowledged that this episode and its 1963 confirmation of the Tobias thesis were incompatible with honest historical research methods. After discovery of his part in this historical cover-up, Mommsen described his activities then as a mistake, but has resolutely refused to acknowledge that any weaknesses in the "evidence" for van der Lubbe's sole responsibility (thereby exculpating the Nazis from involvement in the fire).". 
First, there are no references here, and second, the material is potentially slanderous and libellous. The clear impliction here is that Mommsen is some sort of Nazi sympathizer, for whom if the following is correct, is quilty of very grave academic misconduct. Given the nature of the the charges, and that Mommsen is still alive, in accordance with the rules regarding living people, I think this needs to be sourced before it can go onto the page.--A.S.

thread_title: Potential Libel?

message: The article is essentially a single section - "Biography" - which is over 36 kilobytes long (nearly 6,000 words). This makes it very difficult to read, or to find, for instance, his views on the First World War. It urgently needs to be organised into sections with appropriate section headings. It also contains far too many direct quotes, some of them so long as to raise the question of whether the article strays into copyvio. In some parts the block-quotes far exceed the original content. All, or nearly all, of these quotes should be paraphrased (where short) or reduced to a précis (where long).  Scolaire (talk) 12:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I've raised a question about the use of Fred Kautz as a source on the European History Project talkpage. As this page uses him, I thought it would be helpful to notify people who might know something about him. VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 04:29, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
