text: He was very proud of his Jewish origins, and that rather disqualifies him as a Nazi, don't you think? As for his support, he had travelled extensively in the Soviet Union and had grown very afraid of the SU's growing power. His support to Hitler was probably based on Hitler's animosity to the SU. Hedin probably simply wanted an opposing force to the Communists, like many other in the Europe of his time.--Wiglaf 06:35, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there were many 1/4 jews and 1/2 jews that served in the Nazi Germany army. Many were prominent members. I don't imagine 1/16th being too big a deal.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.206.195.109 (talk) 07:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not able to correct the error that I've found, hence my request for assistance.
In the map - displayed halfway through the article - File:Exploring expeditions of Sven Hedin 1886-1935.jpg there is a grave error.  The second expedition noted in this map - marked by a blue line - is thought to have lasted from 1890 till 1991, which - I must confess - is quite a stretch to be away from the Missus and domestic issues plaguing the weary traveller.
I've tried uploading own works to the commons - thusfar unsuccessfully - so I'd be pleased if some kind spirit would change these dates to the correct ones; 1890 - 1891.  TIA Qwrk (talk) 00:42, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I cant find a mentioning of Hedins parents in this article. Surely he had them?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.64.98.20 (talk) 15:20, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Sven Hedin admitted himself his mistake. E.g the book by Peter Hopkirk - Foreign Devils On The Silk Road ISBN-13: 978-0719564482 contains an extract content from Hedin where he describes the destruction of the expedition.Korina (talk) 06:49, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
