• An exciting article. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. May I suggest a more interesting hook below. I ask for another review to close this DYK. CrossTempleJay 11:24, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

::* ALT1 ... that 12 year old Alfred Zech (pictured) received an Iron Cross for commandeered his father's farm cart to rescue 12 wounded German soldiers?

Thank you very much for the review! I have a little bit of trepidation in providing details about his exploits; while they were undoubtedly brave, presenting them without greater context than is possible in a DYK might be seen as celebratory which might be perceived as gauche considering he was a child soldier.

@Chetsford: I perfectly understand. So I am striking out ALT1 and giving the tick to the original ALT.
