message: Why is this in German murderers? He's not exactly known for whatever he did during the Weimar Republic. --TlatoSMD (talk) 01:20, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it would not be enough to paint him simply as Communist. The editors wanted to paint him as black as possible, guilty of every possible crime in Stalinist history: murder of policemen in the Weimar era, murder of political opponents during the Soviet purge, oppresor of his people during East Germany existence, etc. Everything very well sourced, of course!Wintceas (talk) 22:54, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

message: The source I have used for a few small contributions, Erich Mielke - Freund und Genosse, is not what I usually would consider a reliable one but the fact that it is so pro-Mielke makes it quite useful in regards of him celebrating the murders. It's German wording of the murders is actually quite scarry as it portrais them as an heroic deed!EA210269 (talk) 23:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

message: In the introduction there is a senteces which reads as following: "He also oversaw the creation of pro-Soviet secret police and terrorist insurgencies in Western Europe, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East." The problem is that there are no sources given to justify this statement. In my reseach about socialist armed groups in latin america, I haven't find any information about Soviets or any other satellite state influencing armed militias en this continent. Cuba indeed helped the guerrillas with military training, arms supplies and logistics, but that's the extension of a "Socialist Country" interfering in latin america. Unless that statement can be justified, I think it should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.173.130.3 (talk) 23:26, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Anna Funder’s ‘Stasiland’ is cited seven times in the article, but the book is unscholarly and relentlessly hostile towards East Germany. 2A02:8109:9700:1EA0:A56C:A4D3:6225:F133 (talk) 09:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That is a good point. She is cited by name seventeen times which is rather singular. Her observation that it was the most surveilled country is probably accurate though, don't you think? Sperrvåt (talk) 07:59, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
