Talk:List of Axis personnel indicted for war crimes

Alleged Poles
The alleged Poles were either born in Germany before the 1918 and emigrated after creation of Poland or - if Silesians, Polish citizens - they changed their citizenship during WWII. I doubt very much that any person mentioned in this article was really Polish.


 * Oswald Kaduk - SS member, Poles weren't accepted
 * Paul Szczurek - see above
 * Arthur Liebehenschel - SS member since 1934, rather not in Poland
 * Stefan Baretzki, born in Chernivtsi

This article has a lot of problems
Does it really need to exist? This article is just too incomplete. Too many red names (no wikipedia article/unsourced/unverified). It cannot be made right without removing whole swathes of the article (rendering it useless). Having an unverified list like this (with red names) is fairly useless and potentially a problem with vandalism/libel. Also people acquitted (found NOT guilty) are NOT criminals, why are they listed with criminals. This article needs a new title. "List of Axis war trials defendants" ? sounds clunky --Eqdoktor 19:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

You can look on French or German Wikipedia for the red colored names. Example https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Wolfgang_Romberg to see if it exists, then add the html link.--Mark v1.0 (talk) 16:05, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Flags
The article uses current German and Austrian flags to mark the criminals' nationality. This seems to be a bit problematic as these persons were acting in behalf of the Third Reich, not the Federal republic of Germany or the Republic of Austria (though some became citizens of these post-war states). The correct flag for the Austrian and German war crimininals therefore seems to be this one: Image:Flag of Germany 1933.svg. --Proofreader 17:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC) dmx
 * removed for now. --BerndH 13:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

More Problems
The article is clearly titled 'List of Axis war criminals' and not 'List of Axis members tried as war criminals'. The people who were aquitted are absolutely not war criminals and hence should be removed from the lists. --El Rog 14:12, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it's important to list all people charged with war crimes following World War Two, even if they were acquitted. Those that were acquitted are classed as such, and not as war criminals. GiantSnowman (talk) 18:52, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I removed Werner Von Braun since he was never even tried for a war crime. Just because someone worked for the Nazi regime does not make them a war criminal. A war criminal is a very specific term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.164.28.69 (talk) 04:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

The title should probably be changed, as noted above, since many of the people here were acquitted of war crimes, so don't really belong in a "list of war criminals". Perhaps move to List of Axis personnel indicted for war crimes? --Delirium (talk) 05:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, having people who were acquitted in "list of war criminals" is nonsensical.--Staberinde (talk) 10:35, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Eichmann
Is there a reason Adolf Eichmann isn't listed here? He was tried for war crimes (amongst other charges). GabrielF (talk) 23:17, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect Link
Hands Hofmann links incorrectly to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Hofmann the artist. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.42.191 (talk) 20:18, 20 January 2014 (UTC)


 * It took 5 months, but it is now fixed. Someone should pay more attention to this article! – S. Rich (talk) 17:17, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

An acquittal is not the same as charges being dropped
I just randomly came across a name that is incorrect. It calls the entire page into question. It stated that Kurt Uhlenbroock was acquitted but in fact if you go to his actual Wikipedia page you'll see that this was not the case. The charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. That is not the same thing as an acquittal. An acquittal means he is found not guilty and that is not what happened at all. I made the appropriate change.
