Childrens fates[edit]

Kidnapping of Polish children by Nazi Germany for stylistic comparison.Xx236 (talk) 14:05, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Xx236, thank you for this information. It is now referred to in the article Wolf children under: See also.--Roland.h.bueb (talk) 16:07, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your interest but I meant mostly the propaganda language of this article in 2008 and more academic in the "Kidnapping of Polish children by Nazi Germany". Xx236 (talk) 07:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Evacuation[edit]

I don't know enough about the subject to edit the article, but the section "Evacuation impossible" does not fully agree with the evacuation plans (operation Hannibal) detailed in Evacuation_of_East_Prussia. At a minimum, I don't think it meets Wikipedia's stylistic standards. It should be updated, and at a minimum a link to the main evacuation article included. --209.139.197.120 (talk) 21:43, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As source for the forbidden evacuation between end 1944 and January 1945 I added to the article: (de) Ruth Leiserowitz: Von Ostpreußen nach Kyritz. Wolfskinder auf dem Weg nach Brandenburg. (title translated: From East Prussia to Kyritz. Wolf children on their way to Brandenburg.) Brandenburgische Zentrale für politische Bildung, Potsdam 2003, ISBN 3-932502-33-7, p. 9 --Roland.h.bueb (talk) 17:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Translation from German to the English language[edit]

I will start to translate some parts from de:Wolfskind (Zweiter Weltkrieg) from German to English language.--Roland.h.bueb (talk) 16:14, 24 May 2012 (UTC)--Roland.h.bueb (talk) 16:16, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Today I finished translation of missing parts from German de:Wolfskind (Zweiter Weltkrieg) to English language.--Roland.h.bueb (talk) 20:41, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not a reliable source[edit]

Communist Party line in Russia and Poland[edit]

Russia means probably the SU. Why Poland is mentioned here? Poland generally wasn't allowed to criticize the SU, eg. the tragic fate of Polish children. Xx236 (talk) 08:31, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source 3 is bias and not at all reliable[edit]

Hello all. I was reading this article and the section which clarifies the bad fate of many of the children " Thousands more were abandoned, orphaned, raped or kidnapped.[3]" is a terribly bias source. Don't get me wrong I do believe that this fate did meet a fair few of the children but the source being used for it is most definitely not reliable.

If you view the website that was linked you can see that the article does not provide any evidence or sources to back up its claims and is clearly the creation of the website owner. This becomes an immediate problem when you read the clear bias and apologism of the article in question, especially when you read the final two paragraphs that go into great lengths to paint the picture of how the Allied Countries were all bloodthirsty while Prussia was a pure harmless utopia. The bias and un-sourced claims are really not suitable. --82.20.70.163 (talk) 11:08, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done The cited source was clearly not reliable. Not only was it a personal blog (unreliable in itself), some pages there were quite bizarre. Alsee (talk) 22:21, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
