Talk:Germany in the time of National Socialism

Please do not redirect this article to "Nazi Germany", thanks.
Please do not redirect this article to "Nazi Germany". In German Wikipedia, "Zeit des Nationalsozialismus"(Germany in the time of National Socialism) and "Deutsches Reich 1933 bis 1945"(Nazi Germany) are two different articles. The former emphasizes on the policies and constructions of Germany of that period and the latter emphasizes on a "nation", a "3rd Reich" nation and all aspects of a nation such as economy, education, transportation and so on, but the former only emphasizes on policies and constructions.

In addition, "Zeit des Nationalsozialismus" in German Wikipedia is too fruitful to be translated into English. And in English Wikipedia "Austria in the time of National Socialism" exists as a independent article, as Austria in that period also a part of Nazi Germany, why "Austria in the time of National Socialism" can exist as a independent article rather than redirect and merge it into "Nazi Germany" too?

So I think we should keep "Germany in the time of National Socialism" as a independent article, not as a part of article "Nazi Germany".

Merge suggestion
(and answer to Tony's "Please do not redirect")

I don't know about the traditions of German wikipedia, but in English wikipedia there is usually the main article about a state which covers all subjects you mentioned: politics, society, culture, history, and more. If necessary, the main article may generate sub-articles, according to Summary style. I.e., you may have Economy of Nazi Germany, Transportation of Nazi Germany, etc. Currently the terms as they are (Nazi Germany and Germany in the time of National Socialism) do not give any indication why the content must be different: they are basically the same subject (unless you split hairs): as wikipedia says: Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are common names for Germany during the period from 1933 to 1945 Now, please remind me, what was "the time of National Socialism"?

If someone wants to elaborate on different aspects, they must clearly indicate it in article title: Politics of Nazi Germany, Culture of Nazi Germany, etc.

Thank you for pointing at Austria in the time of National Socialism. Currently it heavily overlaps with Anschluss; in fact these are nothing but content fork, it looks like developed by groups of people who didn't know about the existence of another article. I will suggest merge/refactoring for these two as well. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:48, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge I don't see differences that would justify the split. Once the National Socialism collapsed as a state policy, so did the Nazi Germany basically. Brandmeistertalk  10:33, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge/delete DE.wikipedia might organize things differently, but the article contents here don't do much to justify its existence. KellenT 19:31, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I did merge it, there is no sourced content. you can create a stub article in a sandbox FIRST, find sources, and then propose it. articles without sources are of no use to this project. i dont care if the german wp has it, simply translating that doesnt count.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:24, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
