Talk:Bandenbekämpfung

Confused
The introduction confuses Nazi Germany, the German Empire, genocide, fighting bandits, terrorism and many other concepts. It should either be heavily edited or cut out altogether. Bandit-fighting is bandit-fighting, genocide is a different topic.203.80.61.102 (talk) 02:18, 22 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Not really, since there was considerable overlap between them, especially for Nazi Germany in the Soviet Union, where they were fighting a war of annihilation. Thus the distinction of military operations and mass murder was murky at best, since the perpetrators saw them as the same thing. 90.241.192.121 (talk) 14:02, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Forgery

Missing period 1939-1941
This article treatment of WWII starts at 1941 and completely ignores German anti-partisan operations in Poland (as well as in other European countries). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

To further clarify my edit summary, Waffen-SS burning a farmhouse during the 1943 battle of Kharkov may not be necessarily representative of Bandenbekämpfung. The battle was a conventional military campaign, vs Himmler/von dem Bach-directed Bandenbekämpfung operations, such as Operation Cottbus or Operation Zauberflöte. Waffen-SS committed their own atrocities during the battle, to be sure, but it was not under the doctrine under discussion. --K.e.coffman (talk) 20:23, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
