 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, all German which I can read, no copyvio obvious. How about an image? - I am not happy with hooks, thing that they are a bit too short. Can we say which fundtion he had and that they were imprisoned, all in 200 chars? Striking the ALT, because I like the colleagues thing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:09, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT2:...that in a telegram to Hitler, Hans Bredow, the "father of German broadcasting", requested to be treated like his colleagues in Oranienburg concentration camp?
 * ALT3...that in a telegram to Hitler, the former head of the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft Hans Bredow, requested to be treated like his colleagues in concentration camp? HerkusMonte (talk) 17:25, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you, both good! I slightly prefer ALT3, - perhaps combine with the precise camp? - I changed commas a bit, revert if you don't like, also think the article speaks of one camp, so removed plural. - Image?--Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT4...that in a telegram to Hitler, the former head of the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft Hans Bredow requested to be treated like his colleagues in Oranienburg concentration camp? HerkusMonte (talk) 17:48, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg approved and prefered. I dropped a comma. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:55, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I suggest running ALT4 with the English translation for us English-language readers:
 * ALT4a: ... that in a telegram to Hitler, Hans Bredow, the former head of the Reich Broadcasting Corporation, requested to be treated like his colleagues in the Oranienburg concentration camp? Yoninah (talk) 21:28, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Why pipe if the article name is the German? "Reich" and "Broadcasting" don't go well together. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:12, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Why do you say that? Everything was under the control of the Reich. If you put a three-word German term in the hook, readers will have to click on it to find out what it means, and I suspect few will do that. Yoninah (talk) 23:22, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I keep forgetting that "Reich" is used like "angst", probably pronounced strangely. - I thought Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft is the article name because it's the common name. Wrong? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:29, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't care. If you think an English translation is easier to understand - it's just fine to me. HerkusMonte (talk) 09:47, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg appr then, it's your call --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:40, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
