Talk:Operation Krohcol

message: "Attached to Moorhead's command were some Australian veterans of the First World War from the 2nd/3rd Australian Motor Transport Company under Major Kiernan with their Marmon-Herringtons.[3]" (wikilinks to armoured cars)
Does the source say the Marmon-Herringtons were armoured-cars? There are also Marmon-Herrington Trucks http://marmon-herrington.webs.com/ which would be more likely for a transport company.

Talk:Richard Landwehr

message: Landwehr's works about the Waffen-SS show the Nazi organisation in a favorable light. His article "The European Volunteer Movement in World War II" (20 1981 JHR 59-84) lauds the Waffen-SS and the ideals they fought for while assiduously avoiding any mention of war crimes (real or alleged). The world view that permeates Landwehr's work is best summed up in his own words from the 1981 article in JHR:
After citing the example of the Dutch SS volunteers, Landwehr claims that "the men who got into the Waffen-SS usually represented the best human material that their respective countries had to offer" (1981 JHR).
*Dr. van Hoesel's 1948 study (cited in both George Stein's "The Waffen SS" and Henry L. Mason's 1952 "Purge of the Dutch Quislings") of 450 Dutch SS volunteers revealed some joined to avoid prosecution for petty crime or delinquency. Others joined out of boredom and a desire for adventure, some for prestige, better food or to avoid labour service.
*The records left by the Nazis themselves serves to contradict Landwehr's misleading image of the idealistic European SS volunteer. Stein notes that Gottlub Berger, who dealt with foreign volunteers, was aware of the prevalence of criminal elements and noted that "many criminals are quite outstanding soldiers if one knows how to handle them" (Berger to Gruppenfuhrer Rauter, April 9, 1942, Geheim, RFSS/T-175, 111/2635463ff.).
*In  A European Anabasis - Western European Volunteers in the German Army and SS 1940 - 1945, historian Kenneth Estes authoritatively documented the motivations of the western European volunteers and came to markedly different conclusions than those of Landwehr.

message: "In the novel, the character of Moggy Cattermole is pursuing a mortally damaged German bomber and he notices that one of the Luftwaffe crewmen has become hopelessly stuck in the escape hatch beneath the aircraft, his legs dangling in mid-air. Knowing the horrific fate that will befall the man when the bomber hits the water, Cattermole decides to put him out of his misery and shoots him dead." The article goes on to draw a parallel with an RAF pilot shooting a German airman who is adrift at sea. But this exact same real-life incident is described in... frustratingly I can't remember the title, but it was either First Light or Fighter Boys or something along those lines.

I have checked the one source shown and the external links, i have also checked the British Official History for the fighting in Africa and no such title is mentioned.

thread_title:  Analysis by David Glantz 

message: This article has been turned into a coat rack for criticism of the book. This book was a seminal entry in postwar literature by a famous officer. With its extensive professional military and academic accolades, and frequent citing, this book has received over the past half century there needs to be a much more balanced assessment of its content and impact. At the very, very least, the more contemporary criticisms should be contextualized and trimmed. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 22:22, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

I think capping it with some contemporary reviews, especially post-Soviet archival access, would be appropriate. Sources permitting, of course. I do firmly believe that some of the attacks on the book, and Mellenthin in general, need to be contextualized for weight and seriousness.
