Talk:Operation Harvest Festival

untitled
The German Wiki seems to have slightly more info on the topic, including names for the command-chain involved in the opration. Could someone have a look and translate the missing parts better than I ? Also, the Jennifer Rosenberg article I'v put in bibliography seems good and could be used? -Snorre/Antwelm (talk) 00:51, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Requesting modification
I don't have the extended rights to correct this article myself, but there's a mistaken statement in the "cover up" paragraph. It reads as follows :

"Afterwards the Jewish prisoners were executed by SS men from Police Battalion 101 in Puławy."

The bataillon 101 is famous is in its own right, specifically for having been made up of police reservists, very ordinary Germans, who nevertheless were involved in many massacres. That ordinary and not ideologically driven people like them could have done that has been the subject of many debates. They definitely weren't "SS men" and this mention should be removed from the article, especially, again, given how famous is bataillon 101. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.97.254.213 (talk) 22:43, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

The map of District Lublin shows the Kreishauptmannschaft (county) HRUBIESZÓW as KRUBIESZOW (with a K). The Germans sometimes named it Grubeschow but I don't know of any source for the spelling with K. I am a historian at Yad Vashem and researched extensively the deportations from this county. The Germans kept the Polish name HRUBIESZÓW. You can find it in "Amtliches Gemeinde- und Dorfverzeichnis für das Generalgouvernement" https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/Q56TWQMGBWTVEW4O56572JOVMDI7KY5F, also in Baedekers Generalgouvernement (Reisehandbuch 1943) and in many other sources. If you know of any source for the spelling with K you have to name it otherwise it is misleading. Therefore, please correct the map! Moykopf (talk) 09:03, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: Yes, this looks to be a typo. Hrubieszów is the correct name. It would be an easy change if it were an SVG... However, it's a PNG. So, it's harder to change. @Poeticbent is the original author of the image, but has not edited for a few years. @XrysD is a partially-active user, and looks to be the uploader of the base file, and may have the original file to reupload. The misspelling was is introduced here by Poeticbent, who I've emailed.

I am closing this for now. If some time has elapsed and they haven't responded, please reopen the request. Thank you for catching this detail. SWinxy (talk) 04:44, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

On 2 November, 2,000 to 3,000 SS and police personnel arrived in Lublin: Waffen-SS from as far away as Kraków,
can we add in distance. The distance/time is completely lost on people not from Poland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.209.198.33 (talk) 02:56, 6 June 2023 (UTC)


 * The distance will probably not look like much from a modern days perspective. You can cross all of Poland from west to east in approximately 10h with a modern car. But in the 1940s there were no modern cars and no modern highways, so that even a short-ish distance would take very long. Just imagine they were riding horses to get there. It would have likely taken a few days. Nakonana (talk) 09:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
