Comments by 3E1I5S8B9RF7:
 * 1) Citations: References No. 1, 6, 22, 23, 24 and 29 should be formatted like the other book references (using a Sfn format), to have a consistent style of citation. Also, Reference No. 6 has a broken url link. Furthermore, some page numbers have a too wide range. For instance, Smelser & Davies 2008, pp. 173–178. That is six pages. This should be narrowed to two pages per refrence, for a more precise citation.
 * 2) Education and career: It would be helpful to add the exact date of his birth, 17 November. Currently, the sentence just mentions he was born in 1923.
 * 3) Ace Series: "In Kurowski's retelling, after fighting unit after unit of the Red Army, Bäke is able to establish a corridor to the trapped German forces, while "wiping out" the attacking Soviets." The sentence is vague and does not say where this allegedly happened.
 * 4) World War II series and Battle of Stalingrad: "The series was edited by right-wing publisher and journalist Gert Sudholt [de], who, at that time, was the chairman of Society for Free Journalism, the largest constitutionally protected right-wing association in West Germany". No citation is given for this claim.
 * 5) Bibliography: "Books by Kurowski published by Stackpole Books" lists as "permanent dead link", though one can access its url link. This should be corrected.

Comments by nom
 * 1) Uniformity of citations is not a GA requirement that I'm aware of. I prefer to keep them as is. I shortened the "pp. 173–178"  interval a bit. This cite provides an overview of the Panzer Aces series, mentioning a series of characters, that's why it's wide. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I would really recommend formatting the bibliography references in a consistent manner. It is more of an unwritten rule. They can be referenced either directly (as per article Pittsburgh railroad strike of 1877) or using the Template:Sfn (as per article Conquest of the Western Turks). Choose either one of them, but then follow this all the way through.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 16:53, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Ultimately, I have corrected these little inconsistencies myself, since there were only a couple of them.✅--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 10:00, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking care of this. Converting citations is the part I least enjoy, so that was very helpful. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

 * 1) Added.
 * 2) This relates to the Cherkassy Pocket. I moved the cite to the correct location, so it's clearer.
 * 3) Removed.
 * 4) Fixed.

Conclusion
I think the article meets the GA criteria. I'm promoting it, accordingly.--3E1I5S8B9RF7 (talk) 10:00, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
