Split

I think this page should be split and either become a disambig, or be dedicated only to the discussion of the Russian formation. Presented sources support only the contention that such formation existed in USSR and Eastern Germany, I cannot think of the exact Polish equivalent. Similar through not exact formations existed all over the world. I don't think that we need an article describing a type of military police unique only to the Warsaw Pact; lumping those two (USSR and EG) units together seems a bit ORish. They should be discussed in their dedicated articles, de wiki has de:Kommandantendienst, I am not sure about ru wiki since the article does not provide Cyrillic spelling for the Russian formation. To summarize: I think the term "Commandant's Service" may be applied only to the Russian formation, not German, and there is insufficient justification for the claim that this term refers to a pan-Western Pact formation rather than just a USSR one. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
