Hubal and his partisan unit - winter 1939
Two images are tithed "Hubal and his partisan unit - winter 1939". This seems impossible, since the war started in autumn. I think it's a mistake, but before fixing, I'd prefer to know what was intended to say in the titles.--Pere prlpz (talk) 01:04, 11 November 2012 (UTC)


 * it's not necessarily inaccurate - the article itself mentions he commanded partisan unit from october 1939 til his death in april. 'winter 1939' would mean they were taken in november or december of that year. Capt Jim (talk) 19:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Death and legacy
Hello, with respect to the entry 'In 1949, Dobrzański's son, Ludwik, emigrated to England and became a property developer. He died in 1990 (December 15), in the town of Bedford'. Is anyone able to provide proof or verification that this is 100% factual please, i.e. was Ludwik indeed Hubal's son? Many Thanks 82.21.214.45 (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Essay by Wolfgang Jacobmeyer
According to German historian de:Wolfgang Jacobmeyer "Hubal" and his unit fought against a bataillon of German police and SS (i.e. 500-550 men) near Huciska on 30 March 1940 and managed to repell the attack, but they did not "completely destroy a unit of German police (100 dead)", as this article claims, but the Germans lost 4 dead and 5 wounded. Reinforced police and SS units resumed the attack on 1 April 1940. There is no evidence of an "ambush near the village of Szałasy" and the Germans did not form "a special 1,000 men strong anti-partisan unit of combined SS-Wehrmacht forces, including a Panzer group." Instead, on 29 April 1940 parts of the IR 650 and IR 651 of the 372. ID launched an ultimately successful attack (only Wehrmacht, no SS units). Jacobmeyer also critically discusses stories that "Hubal's" body was "desecrated" and put "on public view in the local villages." According to sources quoted by him, "Hubal" was buried with military honors.

 * Why Germans would support claim of desecration of Hubal's body? It's against their believes of honorary and chivalrous Wehrmacht Matrek (talk) 17:14, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
