 * Formatted incomplete hooks; edited ALT0, shortened image caption. Yoninah (talk) 19:40, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Very interesting article on a little-known slice of WWII history! Article is new enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. I did not see "first and only", just "only", in the sources, so I tweaked ALT0. The refs in both hooks are verified and cited inline. Since the page creator just received her 5th DYK credit yesterday, a QPQ is necessary. Please let me know if you'd like guidance for doing one. Yoninah (talk) 19:54, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
