Extremely poor sources on Agneli being Jewish
For the claim that Agneli was Jewish, the article cites "Goluža 2006, p. 240-241", with no title or anything else with regard to the source. The only source I was able to find that might correspond is an article by someone call Božo Goluža, who appears to be at the University of Mostar in Bosnia. His 2006 article is called "Jews in Mostar" published on pages 226-243 of something called "Hum", a local journal he edits. However only the article abstract is available online, with no indication how this might relate to Agneli, for whom the Wiki article states was born hundreds of miles away in Karlovac, Croatia, and shows no connection to Mostar for Agneli. The wiki article also cites a work by Milan Bulajic for some of the info on Agneli, i.e. "Jasenovac: the Jewish Serbian holocaust (the role of the Vatican) in Nazi-Ustasha Croatia (1941-1945)", This citation gives no page number, and what connection a supposedly Jewish NDH Admiral would have to Jasenovac is mystifying. In any case Bulajic is not a very reliable source, since he has been one of the main sources responsible for inflating Jasenovac victim figures to 700,000 and more. Incidentally, the Croatian WP Agneli article cites Bulajic as the source for, as they write, Angeli being "supposedly of Jewish descent"

Unless better sources are found, this should be taken out. Edgar Angeli's name appears on Croatian right-wing websites which claim that he was among some 30 supposed Jewish generals in the NDH army, out of some 90 to 120 total NDH generals. Thus. with Jews constituting less then 1% of the NDH population, the outrageous claim is being made that Jews made up an extremely disproportionate, 25-33% of all NDH generals, in the same NDH which exterminated 80% of its Jews, the great majority in NDH-run concentration camps. I've seen at least one article (which I can't locate now), which said nearly all of these claimed "Jewish" NDH generals, were in fact members of the German minority in Croatia, plus other non-Jews with foreign-sounding names. So this should be taken out if it cannot be verified, and preferably some much better sources found Thhhommmasss (talk) 08:46, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
