Talk:Walter Warlimont

Warlimont in Paris, 1940
During The World at War series (1974), Warlimont claimed he had asked the pilot of his personal Fieseler Storch aircraft to land on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. I am not aware of any other references to this but surely it would have made him the first senior Wehrmacht officer to arrive in central Paris during the Battle of France? Can anyone else corroborate this story? It would certainly be worthy of inclusion in the article. Flanker235 (talk) 13:38, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Warlimont Lots of Missing Information
It says his sentence was changed to 18 years in 1951 and he was released in 1954, but gives no explanation as to why. Similar to Reinecke, the information I found in other locations on Wikipedia state that McCloy was against reducing the sentences as the Peck Panel had recommended and yet it appears that somehow they were reduced. Likewise there is no information about how the 18 year sentence was suddenly over in 1954. Was he pardoned? Was he sick? He seems to have lived another 20 years, how did he support himself? Did he receive a pension? Like many war criminals there seems to be a disturbing lack of scholarship regarding the circumstances surrounding modifications to their sentences and their lives after 1955. °°°° — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deutschmark82 (talk • contribs) 20:17, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
