The claims of this article are patently false. There were people born after Brunnegger who served in the German military in World War II, and near the end of World War II there were people being recruited at a younger age than Brunnegger was when the war began. Just to throw out on person I know of who disproves any claim in this article F. Enzio Busche was in the German Army during World War II, starting at age 14, and was 7 years younger than Brunnegger. I suspect there were people younger than Busche in the Germany military of World War II. We should not have articles built around a patently false claim.

 * Delete unless someone can access the stated sources and confirm they have significant reliable coverage of Brunnegger, since that's an actual possibility. Other then that it looks hoaxy, but I wouldn't G3. casualdejekyll (talk) 14:42, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep I've done a less than ordinary job of updating the page. I could probably be accused of WP:REFBOMBING but I don't have the knowledge or time to do much better. Probably needs a WW2 buff to update this. Not sure how notable he is but his accounts of the war seem to be quoted a lot and he was the subject of an entire article in a local English newspaper in the 80s. I don't think an incorrect claim in a stub is reason for deletion before WP:BEFORE has been done and notability discussed on those merits. I could still be persuaded to change to delete but I think we need the military history people to give this a look over. Vladimir.copic (talk) 23:34, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Just dumping two more sources here as I’m not spending more time on the article if it is destined for the bin . I suppose another option might be Merge with Le Paradis massacre as there is useful information in this article pertaining to the event. Vladimir.copic (talk) 06:04, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:BASIC, the main claims of notability (age and massacre) are either unsupported or unreliably supported. Mztourist (talk) 03:29, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete As far as I can make out he was a NN soldier. Even if he participated in atrocities, he will only be one person out of a signficant number of culprits.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:06, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
