Talk:Baldur von Schirach/Archive 1

German nobility?
How does Schirach belong to the list of "German nobility" if he was the son of a theater director? I believe that tag should be removed. eeesh May 5, 2006, 4:32 PM -- 20:32, 5 May 2006‎ User:Eeesh


 * His name was Baldur *von* Schirach; in Germany 'von' is what is called the 'noble predicate' and is a title in itself. von Schirach belonged to German untitled nobility, what we in England, for example, would call landed gentry--he held no title except his 'von', but he was a member of the nobility nonetheless. Taking aside all these considerations, financially his family were very well heeled as well. -- 11:52, 31 May 2006‎ 82.42.74.218


 * However, just having "von" in your name is not in itself strong evidence of belonging to the nobility... AnonMoos (talk) 03:38, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

"Repatriated"
I changed "He was repatriated" to "He was released." Repatriate means to return someone to the country of that person's origin. Spandau was in the country of his origin.

"Wrong Photo"
The photo of Nuremburg trial where it was mentioned Schirach is the second from right is incorrect. Schirach is not in this photo !!

If I have more people confirm this I will remove it and find good photo in NAZI published photo on national archive --Hiens (talk) 07:39, 4 September 2009 (UTC)


 * 1. I presume the subtitle of the photo is incorrect - I think that Schirach is second from left (in second row) on this photo. Second from right looks like Admiral Raeder on his mugshots.
 * 2. In my opinion, Nazi published photo would be of extremely little use in section titled "Trial and conviction".--ja_62 (talk) 20:42, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Acceptable face of Naziism?
In some respects, von Schirach seems to have been kind of a spokesman for the "acceptable" face of Nazism to the English-speaking world, especially the United States. There should be something on this unofficial role... AnonMoos (talk) 03:38, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Von Schirach's wife
The first paragraph has a statement that is at least partially wrong. Von Schirach's wife became persona non grata after mentioning the plight of the Jews, the source is Traudl Junge, episode 27 of World at War. I do not know of a written source. &mdash;Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 04:06, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

"indirect descendant"?
"Through his mother, Schirach was a descendant of Thomas Heyward, Jr. and an indirect descendant of Arthur Middleton", the article says.

What is an "indirect descendant"? Either you are a descendant, or you're not. There is no such thing as an "indirect descendant". --Maria Négete (talk) 23:07, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * It might mean a lateral descendant -  that is, descended from a brother or sister of the individual.


 * Through his mother, Baldur von Schirach was a direct descendent of John Parker (his great-great-grandfather), and Henry Middleton (his great-great-great-grandfather). He was not directly descended from Thomas Heyward Jr.. John Parker had a son Henry Middleton Parker, from whom Baldur was not descended. Henry Middleton Parker married Elizabeth Savage Parker, daughter of Thomas Heyward Jr. cagliost (talk) 12:42, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Infobox image size
I believe that the aspect ratio of the infobox image in this article is such that presented at the infobox's default value it is too large, the visual equivalent of SHOUTING. I suggest that the current size is more appropriate. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:01, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't applying 0.8 be more in-line with guidelines and standard practices and have a very similar effect? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:12, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That would be fine with me. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:12, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
