I should get to this in the next few days. Nice work! buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 07:37, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Prose suggestions

 * Shoutout to for their excellent copyedit.
 * (lede) "uninvolved civilians"—"bystanders" or "civilian bystanders" would read better
 * (background) "Another account" ... "Another account" repetitive sentence structure

Overall comments

 * Checked a few of the references, everything looks good
 * Consider putting the originals of user-translated quotes in footnotes, as recommended by MOS:FOREIGNQUOTE
 * This is a very thorough article. If you're interested, you could take this (or any of your other similarly complete, GA-class articles) to Military history A-class review to get a more thorough review and promotion to A-class.


 * Hello! Thank you for the review. I never thought about getting articles to A-class before. Is this usually a common step prior to nominating an article to FA? I'd like to get a FA one day. Perhaps a good goal for 2019! MX ( ✉  •  ✎  ) 03:19, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * MILHIST ACR is an excellent preparation for FAC. It's a similar process in that there are multiple reviewers, separate source and image reviews etc. There is less time pressure but the standards are almost as high. My article Escape of Viktor Pestek and Siegfried Lederer from Auschwitz was recently promoted to A-class, and I listed a different article, Working Group, for review after it failed to gain consensus at FAC. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 03:30, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
