Talk:Hunger Plan

message: There is not one citation in the entire article.  There is only one reference, which is not a primary source.  If the article is not an ad for his book, it should at least be presented in the context that some bloke called Adam Tooze says it is so.  I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'll not make the change myself, but I find it shocking that such a badly written article can be promoted by a link from the MainPage DidYouKnow … section, Start-Class or not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Like minded username (talk • contribs) 00:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have Tooze's book in front of me and it is a very throughly researched work which has been accepted by the community of historians.  (I did see some minor errors, but these I would ascribe to translation issues.)  The article is not an advertisement for the book, which covers a wide variety of other economic topics.  I added sources for what I could see in doing research on a rewrite of Herbert Backe.  The balance of the article also seems to be well within what Tooze and other sources are saying.Mtsmallwood (talk) 21:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure what I would propose, but it seems like this article should connect in some way to the article on the Holodomor. Among other things, the Alex Kay quote seems really strange, given that the Hunger Plan looks a whole lot like Stalin's program to starve Ukraine into submission.

message: Food was also shipped to Germany from France and other occupied territories in the West, although the West was never subjected to the genocidal starvation experienced in the East. Let us eat lettuce (talk) 02:33, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

message: 1 calorie is the amount of energy we need to increase the temperature (by 1°C) of 1 gram water. 1 calorie = 4.184 Joule. So 420 calorie doesn't equals 1800 kJ! 420 KILOcalorie equals 1800 kJ!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.21.44.240 (talk) 10:48, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.

message: The article discounts that some sources say that "plan" may be something of a misnomer, as it might imply that the "plans" were more coherent than they actually were.
It is also important to separate the planning done before the war started, versus the actual policies implemented, which greatly differ.
The article also is confusing because it doesn't make it clear that this plan/policy was integrally connected to the invasion of the Soviet Union and was directed towards the occupied Soviet Union in particular. (t · c) buidhe 05:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
