Talk:Wilhelm Kienzl

Death date
There seems a school of thought that believes he died on 3 October, not 19 October, 1941. Any ideas about this? -- JackofOz (talk) 15:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


 * That school seems to be right. I haven't found absolute proof of a 3 October death, but I have found proof that 19 October was impossible, as his death was reported in TIME magazine 6 days earlier than this, on 13 October.  The only other date in the literature is 3 October, so I've put that in, with a footnote about why 19 October won't do.  --   Jack of Oz    ... speak! ...   04:55, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Third Reich
I'm troubled not just by the lack of citation in claiming Kienzl's support for Nazism but also by the suggestion under "Death" that his continued posthumous honors represents a whitewashing of his reputation. All statements need to be backed up, of course, but accusations of that kind even more so. AskohlerOpus111 (talk) 02:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
