... that Max Stephan was sentenced to hang for taking a Nazi pilot to a prostitute and drinks as part of a 22nd birthday tour of Detroit?

Moved to mainspace by Cbl62 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:13, 23 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Max Stephan; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

A fascinating article that's both well-written and well-referenced. Hook is certainly interesting (though it might be better to specify whose birthday it was, as you do in the article) and I generally have no other concerns apart from the fact that you've yet to review another nom. Let me know when that's done! Cheers, KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 16:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review, 🥬. I added the QPQ and am open to a tinkering with the hook, though my goal was to keep it simple and leave the details to the article. Cbl62 (talk) 16:52, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries,

Seriously,how was what he did a crime?

What should he have done to Krug,spit on him and denied him aid? He was a Good Samaritan and he got punished for it. WTF,America? At least we wouldn’t pull that kind of crap in 2024.
