Talk:Zero hour (1945)

message: I have made an assumption in my recent edit of this page, namely that German ordinary nouns need not be capitalised, as in English. In the previous version of this article all instances of German words (which were then followed by translations to English) started with a capital letter, which I felt was unnecessary. If you speak and write (or are at least familiar with) German and feel I have made an incorrect assumption, please let me know by posting a note here or on my talk and making the necessary connections. Thanks. --Craig 09:03, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Same for me, and I wholeheartedly agree.  Have changed the nouns.  Onlyemarie 22:18, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

message: "The underground stations had been flooded and over 900 of them had been bombed." Are we sure that there were over 900 underground stations in Berlin ? --Lysytalk 11:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

text: The article now says 90, so I assume it was edited.  However, I think even that number may be suspect.  I'll do some digging and see what I find. Wood Artist (talk) 09:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

text: At the end of the war there were 93 U-Bahn stations still working. So perhaps the number is not too far off. --Duncan (talk) 12:40, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  900 underground stations bombed. 

message: This article uses just one source, and makes some radical claims. IN my other research i have found it extremely difficult to find any figures on the destruction of property yet this article states some pretty large numbers... i recommend whoever wrote it find some more reliable sources and that anyone who reads it doesnt take it all as gospel.

thread_title:  Lack of sources 

message: The site  is a schoolproject and not very scientific - As I criticize the term "Stunde null", this site also uses it without reflection. Therefore I ereased it. --Tobe H (talk) 09:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Term "Stunde null" 

message: There are several major issues that I would raise.  Some of the ideas are poorly expressed, even if valid.  The article seems to branch well beyond identifying the term and it's meaning, while ignoring the most major aspect of the term within German society.  I will try to find the time to work on it a bit, adding some other references and clearing up some misconceptions.  The single source issue is a valid one, and I agree with some others that the statistics cited are questionable.  Frank Howley's book, along with The Ruins of the Reich, will supply some good documentation on numbers and such, but I think the article should be narrowed to deal with the term itself, and simply place it in proper context.
Does anyone else disagree that the "related history" should probably be cut?

thread_title:  Neutrality and Several significant issues 

message: "In the areas east of the future Oder-Neisse line already Red Army soldiers committed cruelties against the German population. Allied soldiers sometimes harassed German civilians too. Panic and huge uncertainty instantly created much damage in the areas still controlled by the Nazi German Wehrmacht on May 8, 1945 (e.g. western Austria, Bavaria, South Tyrol (Italy), East Frisia and Schleswig-Holstein)."
The quoted end of Berlin Crime's section has little to nothing to do with Berlin. We should put it somewhere else, otherwise it gives way to confusing ideas.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.190.89.192 (talk) 15:01, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
