Talk:Harald Quandt

Not sure I understand the last edit, was he not the eldest child? Sherurcij 17:55, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I don´t understand the sentence about his first crash at Zurich airport. It´s quite clear how this deals with his description as a keen pilot, but I don´t think his model railway at home has anything to do with that crash, as it sounds in this part of the article.. So please rewrite these sentences.

Some more information about his hobbies
I´ve just added some information about his other hobbies to the forth part of the article, just to divide the crash at Zurich Airport from his model railway at home. Overall, it´s a very informative article - the German Wikipedia is much shorter!!

Harald´s childhood
Hi, I´ve just tried to sort out the timeline of Haralds childhood. It´s a bit complicated to explain, when he lived where during this time: When divorcing, his natural parents agreed that he should live with his mother - what´s normal in such cases - until she would marry again. (Of course, Magda didn´t think of re-marriage at that time, so she agreed.) When meeting Goebbels and falling in love with him, she tried to cancel that agreement, but was successful only three years after marrying him, in 1934 after the Nazis took power. Since then, Harald again stayed with her at the Goebbels household until 1940, when he finished school and joined the army.

With best regards, Eva

ARD programme October 2007
Don´t mistake me, the information about the ARD feature is quite necessary and interesting, but shouldn´t this part be removed from this article and better been mentioned with Günther or Herbert Quandt? I suppose the film ARD made deals with the actions of his father and half-brother during the war, so it should be mentioned more likely with one of them. It´s nothing Harald himself was engaged in, because he was at war in this years.- It might be interesting, by the way, that these film was shown at ARD only after 11:00 pm, when only few people were watching TV. The reason for this is quite clear: Quandt family is the owner of the German car producer BMW - of cause nobody in the German media can be interested to annoy them!!!

Cities of studies
I´ve just added an explanation for his chosen cities to study - he went to Hannover and Stuttgart at all, because he could easily earn some money during the vacations there. (His father provided him only with small amounts of money, to teach him householding early enough, so that he would be able to work with large amounts of money respectable later.)

Business dealings of the father
This is an article about Harald Quandt and not his father. The paragraph about the business dealings of his father just doesn't belong here.--Lukati (talk) 16:26, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Manipulated image?
Why should the photo in this article be manipulated (copy and paste)? It was taken up at the birthday of Harald´s stepfather in 1942 (not a "round" one, of course), three days later Harald himself celebrated his 21st birthday - is it impossible that he was allowed driving home for these reasons if there was "all quiet on the western front?"

Private equity firm
Somehow I don't see Harald Quandt as a venture capitalist in the 1950s. "Private equity firm" is probably a mistranslation of "Aktiengesellschaft".2A02:AA1:1011:EC3F:5D6B:98D4:F505:5931 (talk) 15:06, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Daughter Patricia
Does anyone know why Patricia died so young? I can't find anything online about a cause of death. It's unusual these days for someone to die so young. 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:544F:E012:2320:EFE4 (talk) 23:42, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
