Talk:Ernst Achenbach

Mistake (he was opposed to prosecution of war criminals!)
You got it wrong. You write: "Although he had been a member of the Nazi Party, he advocated the condemnation of the German war criminals, something which led to a scandal in 1970 when he initially failed to make it as a Commissioner in the European Economic Community because of public pressure."

Actually he was opposed to prosecution of (any) Nazi perpetrators. (For a while he was quite active campaigning for an amnesty, but he also used obstruction.) That of course was what led to the scandal. Greetings, 80.104.217.153 (talk) 13:03, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I also found this sentence to be nonsensical, as he actively campaigned for the amnesty for all war criminals. I'd like to eit it unless there are objections. I assume this is just an error in translation. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:29, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Falkenhausen acquitted?
This article says he successfully defended Alexander von Falkenhausen against war crime charges but the article on Falkenhausen says Falkenhausen was convicted.

It can't be both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.119.204.117 (talk) 14:26, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
