Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I think this is a good well-written article, there are a couple of phrases that I would like to see clarified, which I why I have put "?" for statuts. The first is "various pieces of evidence" in the causality section - could that be more specific? The second phrase is at the bottom of the same paragraph: "since he was an avid newspaper and" - I think there's a missing word? The third is "multiple historians" shortly after - I recognise that you have referenced two, but are there more, or you could lose the 'multiple'? Otherwise, the article is long enough, new enough, well-references, from a neutral point of view (above comments), has no plagiarism and a QPQ has been completed. The image is from Commons and could be a good DYK addiiton. I prefer ALT1 as a hook. Lajmmoore (talk) 15:33, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

  • Various pieces of evidence, yes, Ihrig spends more than 20 pages discussing them, mentioning individuals such as Hans Humann, Hans-Heinrich Dieckhoff, Max Erwin von Scheubner-Richter, etc. But his point is that no one piece of evidence is a smoking gun, it accumulates to prove a conclusion.
  • Added missing word
  • While I just cited two, there are definitely more historians who argued this although I can't find the citations now :( (t · c) buidhe 20:30, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Buidhe, firstly - sorry for the delay - I didn't see a notification. Thanks for adding the missing word. I've clarified the two other points with the addition of the word 'accumulating' for the first, for the third I took out multiple but added the names of the historians you cited. I hope that's agreeable with you? Lajmmoore (talk) 22:03, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
