Talk:Hermine Braunsteiner

Untitled
"Her death appears to have gone unrecorded by American newspapers and magazines, although it is noted on the Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia..." &mdash;New York Times, December 2, 2005

Doesn't seem logical to me that it is said she came from a "well-off family" and then tried to get work as a house-maid. There must be a mistake in that. Usually people from "well-off families" had other possibilities of earning a living for themselves.

"... Her father was a butcher and not involved in politics. ..." Douglas Martin, NY Times, ''loc. cit.''

Never seemed to get past the investigative part of a trial until the emotions got whipped up in later years. Any citations other than the NYT?159.105.80.80 18:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Removed the "well off family" claim, added citations - even some not NYT, listed some other things to read (though I have not.) Article still needs work, especially to match factoids with citations. to reduce redundancy, and smooth the prose. --AndersW (talk) 06:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Precise association with SS?
What was her precise association with the Schutzstaffel? The info box says "Schutzstaffel women's auxiliary" - which is not wikified beyond SS itself. In the SS main articel, there is a section on

"Helferinnen Corps -- The SS-Helferinnenkorps, translated literally as 'Women Helper Corps', comprised women volunteers who joined the SS as auxiliary personnel. Such personnel were not considered actual SS members, since SS membership was closed to women.

The Helferin Corps maintained a simple system of ranks, mainly SS-Helfer, SS-Oberhelfer, and SS-Haupthelfer. Members of the Helferin Corps were assigned to a wide variety of activities such as administrative staff, supply support personnel, and female guards at concentration camps."

-- These are not the ranks desribed for Braunsteiner, however. --Trinitrix (talk) 13:06, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
