Talk:Deutschland incident (1937)

Dubious Source
"On May 29, 1937, the Republican air force attacked Nationalist air bases and the port of Ibiza, the German pocket battleship Deutschland, which was part of the non-intervention blockade fleet entered the area of the port to threaten the Republican planes."

A nice bedtime story: the nasty ship threatens planes. I will look into the circumstances because I think, (just a hunch), that the source is giving an unbalanced version of events. And nor does this source mention the 2 Republican battleships and 2 cruisers who fired on Deutschland but missed- it was added to Kriegsmarine "On 29 May 1937 the Deutschland was attacked off Ibiza by four Republican destroyers and two light cruisers, Libertad and Mendez-Nunez. Also attacking were bombers from the Republican Airforce." Fluffy999 21:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Move?
These are two completely separate incidents; why are they on the same page? If no-one objects I will separate them. Xyl 54 (talk) 16:47, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

List
I’ve removed the list of KM dead because Wikipedia is not a memorial; See discussion here and here.

Besides it is pretty un-neutral to list the KM casualties but not the Spanish, don’t you think? Xyl 54 (talk) 16:57, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
