Anton Schmid

 * ... that Anton Schmid was one of only three German soldiers executed for rescuing Jews during the Holocaust? Badische Zeitung
 * ALT1:... that Anton Schmid rescued as many as 300 Jews, and also tried to prevent the execution of Wehrmacht soldiers accused of desertion?
 * Reviewed: Misael Torres Urrea
 * Comment: Prose has been expanded 5x, but the tool gives a false reading because of a large quote that had been embedded in the text.

5x expanded by Catrìona (talk). Self-nominated at 14:30, 20 October 2018 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Article has been expanded within within 7 days before nomination; prose is longer than 1500 characters; supported by inline citations; no copyvios detected; neutrally written.
 * I would go with ALT0, as it's shorter and is more compelling. I would also optionally pipe "rescuing Jews during the Holocaust" to Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust, for more background. Hook #1 is verified in the article, but not in the nom. Not sure if this is a requirement. K.e.coffman (talk) 17:53, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

I also prefer ALT0. I would not pipe, because I don't think the topic is sufficiently obscure to necessitate it and secondary piping could draw clicks away from the main article. Thanks for the review. Catrìona (talk) 18:13, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, I added the source to ALT0 and stricken the 2nd one for clarity, since it did not have a source. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:39, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
