"In 1929, Frederich Ritter and Dore Straucher arrived in Guayaquil from Berlin to settle on Floreana to be followed by the Wittmer family who kept a large photograph of Hitler in their lava stone house there through the Second World War. Other German utopians were in residence on Floreana in these years and there were at least four violent and still mysterious deaths among them."

Wow, that's pretty slanderous. Has anyone involved with this page even read the book "Floreana"? I just did and came here looking for more about Margret Wittmer. According to her book, they had nothing whatsoever to do with Hitler. I hope their family don't see this page! I'm shocked that this would be on here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.198.42.106 (talk) 22:36, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

the Wittmers

I can't believe that statement about the picture of Hittler at the Wittmers house. Obviusly, the person that wrote that must have seeing to make such slanderous statement. The Wittmers were close to the US Navy and helped them during the second world war years.

Wikipedia will really continue to lose credibility if they don't put an end to uncorroborated information before they publish. Unbelieveable. 130.76.96.155 (talk) 14:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"They" is you, as anyone can edit and can delete unsourced claims. If you've access to her book you can improve the article, in the interim I've found some online sources which, though not ideal, allowed some improvements. . dave souza, talk 18:09, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
