Talk:Wilhelm Wassmuss

Needs complete rework
The article in its current form is tendentious and hard to read due to improper orthography, grammar and citations. Speaking about "terror acts" by Wassmuss, when he was working with the same methods as T. E. Lawrence seems strange. But speaking about a "holocust" by the '"Keiserreich Deutschland"' against the people of "Iran and Irak" from 1894 until today is just plain wrong. In fact it is so tendentious that it seems there are oter agents at work here.

I advise to red-flag the article for a complete new redaction.

Nota bene: Not to mention that Wassmuss was hardly a "Nazi and Stasi hero". He died in 1931 more or less forgotten. He might have made it a Nazi hero, if they had known about him or cared for the Persian front in World War I, but the East German Stasi had no interest in such men. It seems, there are several anti-German sections in this article.Ephesos (talk) 10:16, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Waßmuß did get money from the German government!
As I indicared (and corrected) in the German Wikipedia entry, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:Wilhelm_Wassmuss#Gelder, Waßmuß did succeed in getting money from the German government. The book »Waßmuß, the German Lawrence«, says: »Es handelte sich um eine Summe von rund hunderttausend Mark. Etwa zwanzigtausend davon waren geleistete Barvorschüsse; der Rest betraf die Entschädigung für Aufbringung und Unterhalt von Bewaffneten. Diese letzte Forderung wurde indessen vom Deutschen Reich nicht als rechtsgültig anerkannt; nur der Fürsprache Waßmuß’ war es zu verdanken, wenn man sie in großzügigem Entgegenkommen begleichen wollte.« – It was a sum of about 100 000 Marks … He used it in agreement with the Iranian government and local rulers to start a farm just landside of Bushehr, at »Tschagodek«, now Choghadak. – Let me know [mailto:Fritz@Joern.De?subject=Wassmuss_Wiki directly], if I can be of help. I have the quoted book. Fritz Jörn (talk) 09:51, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
