Incorrect information about the strength of troops[edit]

Please compare the strength of troops between the german and english version of this article. US: 75th Infrantry Divison (just 1!! division. a division contains nearly 15.000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_%28military%29) German: ~400.000

If you change the language to german you get following information: US: 250.000 German: 300.000

Please check this. Wiki should only contain true article!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.253.25.99 (talk) 14:30, 6 September 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No sources; unreferenced fact v. Another unreferenced fact[edit]

In a recent edit, one unreferenced fact was replaced with another: "Rather than surrender and violate his personal oath to Adolf Hitler that he would fight to the death, the commander..." against "Rather than surrender and face trial for war crimes, the commander...". I'm deleting them both. The article is generally very low on sources, and I cannot help except by placing the "Unreferenced" tag at the top in the hope that an expert can address the problem.

I took the info from the sourced paragraph on Model's page. I probably should have included the sources from the get-go, my bad. Rockypedia (talk) 02:08, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ruhr Pocket → Ruhr pocket – Both Google Scholar[1] and Google NGRAMS[2] suggest there's no consistent capitalization of "Ruhr pocket" in running text. (t · c) buidhe 07:53, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support - Ought to have a preponderance of sources capping to stick with upper-case. Primergrey (talk) 03:10, 25 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
