Talk:Bulgaria during World War II

message: On 6 April 1941, despite having officially joined the Axis Powers, the Bulgarian government did not participate in the invasion of Yugoslavia and the invasion of Greece.[citation needed] 
I do not know about Greece, but historical sources indicate that Bulgrian territory was used for German advancement on Invasion of Yugoslavia.
Clearer sentence would be that Bulgarian units did not participate the invasion, but territory was used as Axis base of operations.
Quote: The first phase encompasses the Luftwaffe's devastating air assault on Belgrade and airfields of the Royal Yugoslav Air Force of 6 April, and an initial thrust of the German XL Panzer Corps from Bulgaria towards Skopje that commenced the same day.[39] This was followed by the assault of the German XIV Panzer Corps from Bulgaria towards Niš on 8 April.

message: The search string 'Greater Bulgaria' redirects here. This page, however, is of very little use when researching the 19th century 'Greater Bulgaria' formed as a result of conflict between the Russian and Ottoman empires, is it not? --KatzMotel 00:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this redirect is a pretty bad decision, it should be speedied. If you mean Treaty of San Stefano Bulgaria, I wouldn't call it "Greater", because it essentially followed ethnic borders, though it certainly has become a nationalist goal. Also, there was an early medieval Great Bulgaria north of the Black Sea in modern Russia and Ukraine. Todor→Bozhinov 11:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Bulgarian125ip9.jpg

message: I've removed the image again .
# If you can make your point based on reliable secondary sources, you evidently don't need a non-free image to make it. The image is not indispensible, and it is also not the object of analytical discussion in the article, as the fair-use rationale falsely claims.
# While Poulton is a reliable source for the point being made, Danforth's p.41 is not. As has been repeatedly pointed out to edit-warriors on all sides, that particular passage in Danforth's book is not written in his own voice and not endorsed by him. It is a paraphrase, by Danforth, of the stereotypical position of a Greek nationalist. See the dangers of quote-mongering and ripping quotes out of context.

message: While it is only a footnote in history. I think the uprising/invasion by Vlado Trichkov deserves a mention.
I don't have information to hand, but in 1944, Vlado Trichkov led a group of around 200 young Bulgarian partisans across the border from Serbia into Bulgaria. The group included several women and 2 British officers, including Major Frank Thompson, one of a very small number of British officers to die fighting in Bulgaria. The invasion was a fiasco. Bulgaria was at the time a Nazi ally but would change sides within months. They marched across the border in broad daylight, under observation from German aircraft. No one brought a map. They spent about two weeks being chased around North West Bulgaria by police, lost all their food supplies and starved. They were eventually captured near to the Iskar gorge and executed. The wikipedia article on Frank Thompson names Slavcho Transki as the leader of the mission. Is this a mistake?Pignut (talk) 00:56, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

message: A lot of reliable Academic publications confirm Bulgaria did not participate in Axis invasion of Yugoslavia. Per: Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (history) to weight different views and structure an article so as to avoid original research and synthesis the common views of scholars should be consulted. In many historical topics, scholarship is divided, so several scholarly positions should be relied upon. Some people masquerading as scholars actually present fringe views outside of the accepted practice, and these should not be used. To determine scholarly opinions about a historical topic, consult the following sources in order:
- Recent scholarly books and chapters on the historiography of the topic
- "Review Articles", or historiographical essays that explicitly discuss recent scholarship in an area.
- Similarly conference papers that were peer reviewed in full 
- Journal articles or peer reviewed conference papers that open with a review of the historiography. 
What the majority of reliable sources say is that Bulgaria did not invade the Kingdom Yugoslavia. Jingiby (talk) 04:54, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bulgaria and Axis invasion in Yugoslavia 

message: I found multiple sources stating that Bulgaria declared neutrality on 17 August 1944. While it also repealed antisemitic legislation on that date, as the article already states, no mention is being made of its neutrality declaration. From what I can gather, multiple declarations of neutrality took place, including the one on 26/27 August. But since the 17 august one is the earliest, shouldn't that one mark the end of the country's Axis tenure? Transylvania1916 (talk) 22:07, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There was nothing formal about being an Axis member, so I'm not sure it is important to assign a day to when it ended. But by all means if you have RS please add that Bulgaria issued a declaration of neutrality on 17 August 1944. Srnec (talk) 21:02, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
