Talk:Heinz Heuer

Third opinion
I would like to request a Third opinion on this revert, as two sources state that no documentation can be found on the Oak Leaves. Would that work? K.e.coffman (talk) 01:00, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't stop you, but I don't think it is necessary, as there are a number of Knight's Cross recipients from the end of the war where the documentation isn't in the Bundesarchiv for a number of possible reasons. They are documented in a number of other ways. In this case, the chief of the personnel office of the Order Police testified regarding this award and the presentation is documented in the history of the 4th SS Polizei Panzergrenadier Division Volume 2, according to Von Seemen. Of course, if you have a reliable source that questions the validity of the testimony or the documentation of the award in the divisional history, I would re-consider my position. Also, without looking at the original of the letter that Fellgiebel wrote to Heuer, my assumption is that the comment "evidently dubious, to put it mildly" refers to the views of Scherzer on the validity of the award, not Fellgiebel's position or that of the AKCR on it. The fact that all three sources (Fellgiebel, Scherzer and Von Seemen) all list Heuer as a recipient (albeit with apparent reservations in Scherzer's case), is sufficient in my view. His notability is not dependent on the mere award of the Knight's Cross, it is the combination with being the only member of the Feldgendarmerie awarded it. I also believe he meets the GNG based on the sources used in the article. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:57, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
