Allegations of collaboration

The contribution by 193.1.40.28 looks like it belongs more on the talk page than the main entry. Anyone have any opinion on whether I should cut and paste it to here? Autarch 12:16, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discription of Flemish Legion is completely wrong

It is obvious that the text about the Flemish Legion is not correct. It sais:

"Flemish Legion which was a nationalist Flemish party fighting for Flemish independence from France"

Most stupid is of course that they would be fighting for independence from France. Flanders was obviously not a part of France at the time, but, as it is today, part of Belgium.

Also, the Flemish Legion wasn't a party. It was a legion of volunteers that was recruited by the Vlaams Nationaal Verbond to go fighting with the German army against the Soviets. Before this VNV initiative this recruitment was only done by the Algemeene-SS Vlaanderen.

Since I am Flemish and English isn't my native tongue, I didn't correct this in the article... --Bertnederbelg (talk) 11:07, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Claim interview was defamatory

The sentence "Had they been published when Mr. Folens was alive, they would have been considered defamatory", referring to the Senan Moloney interview used in Hidden History is unclear. Does it refer to Folens own words? (Can one defame oneself?) Does it apply to inferences made from his words? The Dictionary of Irish Biography refers to it, while it may not prove that he was in the Gestapo (but he was in the Sicherheitsdienst) it doesn't reflect well on him - the summary of the interview describes antisemitic comments made by him.

In short, the sentence I quote above seems like a case of breach of WP:EDITORIAL or at the very least it should require a reference to back it up.Autarch (talk) 00:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
