thread_title: Reworked for Clarity

message: Hi, I first found out about the Texel uprising from a passage in Max Hastings' book 'Armageddon' which is about the last months of the Second World War in Europe.  I'm delighted to see this article on the battle on Wikipedia and would like to thank those who have contributed.  However, there is one point that confuses me.  The article states that bloodshed continued on Texel after VE day (May 8) and before the Canadians actually physically arrived and finished things off 12 days later.  What exactly was happening in this period?  Were Georgians actively resisting still, or does the word bloodshed refer to the Germans executing captured Georgian fighters?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.174.8.253 (talk) 11:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Casulties amongst the germans in the first days of ambush and battle were more than 800, but than rised up to nearly 2000, when reinforcements arrived, after the georgians failed to take over the artillery bunkers. Nevertheless, they still were able to repel several german attacks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.196.122.141 (talk) 07:50, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The anon from IP 92.196.74.66 is encouraged to provide a source for the new KIAs he introduced.  The available numbers are these: the Canadians disarmed approximately 1,500 Germans.  A Canadian report to the commander of Soviet SMERSH forces, who took charge of 228 Georgians, listed 470 Georgian and 2,347 German casualties on Texel.  In 1949 the German War Graves Commission conducted what they called umbettung and exhumed on Texel 812 bodies (including the 400+ killed in their sleep by the Georgians in their shared quarters) for reburial at Ysselsteyn military cemetery.  The above numbers obviously do not add up and make little sense, unless the Canadian report to SMERSH lumped together the German disarmed with their dead.  The previous numbers on this page of 565+ Georgians, 117 Texel islanders and 800+ Germans killed, however, are close to the available sources and should prevail.--Gamahler (talk) 20:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm unclear as to the storyline of the other 1 500 Germans, who were not the 812 killed -  these are unarmed Germans or disarmed Germans? I presume all Germans on Texel were military personnel. so 1500 German soldiers who were disarmed by the Canadians are reinforcements who arrived later to quell the uprising perhaps? I feel this is not yet fully explained. 14:30, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Casualties amongst the Germans 

message: I've removed the result from the infobox, as it's hardly appropriate to call this a German victory. 
The Georgians killed most of the garrison and seized most of the island; then the Germans came back and killed most of the Georgians; then the Canadians came and enforced the German surrender (quite a lot of this happened after 8 May); and the Dutch got a lot of hardship, then got their island back. So they could all be described as "victors" at different times. More realistically, they  all were the losers... Xyl 54 (talk) 23:50, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Victory? 

message: The Battle of Odžak happened and ended prior to this, so I will remove BBC's claim. --Steverci (talk) 17:18, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not just BBC's claim. See here. And the Wikipedia article on Battle of Odžak is problematic, purely sourced and unreliable. This has been noted on its talk page. I failed to find any reliable source on the Battle of Odzak on Google Books.  --KoberTalk 17:27, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article seems to refer to the 882nd Infantry Battalion, when other pages on the Georgian Legion (1941-1945) seem to predominantly refer to the 822nd Infantry Battalion as Königin Tamara. So for the sake of historical (and article) clarity, which is the correct one?
