 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, well referenced, QPQ done. I had a look in the references, they support the statements in the article and the hooks, and there does not appear to be close paraphrasing. Certainly interesting as a topic, although if I might suggest expansing the original hook by stating that Kleinicke's job was in Auschwitz concentration camp, it adds quite another dimension to his actions. Likewise, for ALT, the reason for him not answering the letters should be attributed to his daughter (e.g., "because according to his daughter, ..."). Constantine  ✍  18:46, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Tks for the review. The problem is that sources are not clear that he was still working at Auschwitz in 1943. Also, mentioning Auschwitz in the hook makes it seem as if he was helping the Jews escape from Auschwitz, which is quite another matter. buidhe 19:02, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the prompt response and clarification. You are absolutely right to be cautious on this. Nomination is now Symbol confirmed.svg good to go. Cheers, Constantine  ✍  19:07, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
