Operation Pax Romana

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a hoax. A 2010 edit by an IP, immediately self-reverted, said so. That is not definitive, of course, but investigation finds no confirmation. I do not have access to the book which is the first reference, but the second reference is accessible via JStor, and neither it nor the third reference say anything relevant. Authoritative sources on the holocaust in Romania also fail to provide any confirmation. The report of the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania is available online here (warning: 313-page pdf) and neither Operation Pax Romana nor Johannes Jodl is mentioned in its index. Further, the website of the "Elie Wiesel National Institute for the Study of Holocaust in Romania" contains a timeline "Etape ale holocaustului" ("Stages of the Holocaust"), which also does not mention Pax Romana or Jodl. False references plus no mention in authoritative sources = hoax. Thanks to for tagging it. JohnCD (talk) 22:05, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per WP:HOAX. I have access to the Jstor article, which says nothing about Pax Romana or Johannes Jodl or Jose Farias. "Pax Romana" refers to Rome, not Romania. Yoninah (talk) 23:13, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
