Talk:Intelligenzaktion

Purpose
The quote ("Once more the Führer must point out ...") is not given in the source, and is probably not from "Hitler himself" (why would he decree something to himself?). It sounds more like Himmler. -- 77.184.140.222 (talk) 05:15, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There are legit Donald Trump quotes where Donald Trump references himself in third person. This is, of course, not a serious reponse to your question. I believe the quote is from Hans Frank, governor-general of the Generalgouvernement (occupied Poland) and therefore talks about Hitler in third person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8388:502:3D80:4173:9535:1885:392A (talk) 21:21, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Other languages
I am amazed that this so important article (this genocide has affected Poland's nation for decades to come) has not been translated into German and Russian. Zezen (talk) 20:15, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Because it is a post-war fiction. There is no German government documentation to support these fantasies. It is all part and parcel of the Pole's victimhood. 2A00:23C4:B617:7D01:8F9:85C6:2479:21C0 (talk) 16:21, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Murdering thousands of people does not affect the nation? What kind of a goddamn joke is this? Kuracyja (talk) 15:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * So what is this fiction and fantasy doing on the wiki? 185.234.240.15 (talk) 19:34, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Inconsistency in the lede
I have noticed that the sentence "On the direct orders of Adolf Hitler carried out by Reinhard Heydrich's bureau of Referat Tannenberg along with Heinrich Himmler's SS-RSHA (Main Security Office), Poles from among intelligentsia and elites were rounded up" is sourced with a reference to Das dritte Reich un die Juden where Saul Friedlander explains that "Tausende von psychisch kranken Patienten aus Anstalten in Pommern, Ostpreussen und dem Gebiet um Posen im Warthegau wurden bald nach dem deutschen Angriff auf Polen eliminiert". This seems more than inconsistent to me unless someone tries to explain that the members of the Polish intelligentsia were in psychiatric institutions. --Lebob (talk) 10:12, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Did the Germans arrest upper class Poles and others? Probably yes. That should also be seen in the light of them being the promulgators of anti-German agitation and the instigators of genocidal actions against ethnic Germans around the start of the Polish-German war in 1939. You see that conflict didn't exactly start on September 1st 1939, it got a longer history. --105.8.5.143 (talk) 12:31, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There is no "probably" about it - please don't bring denialism or apologetics here for the Nazis.
 * There is simply is no evidence, no paper trail, to support this monster fantasy. It is untrue. 2A00:23C4:B617:7D01:8F9:85C6:2479:21C0 (talk) 16:23, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Crimes against humanity category removal
Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.
