In the official works published under the title of The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, prisoners of war were not discussed. The few studies that mentioned captured Soviet soldiers at all portrayed them only as putting up heroic resistance in the Nazi camps (Brodski, E. A. Vo imja pobedy nad fasizmom. Antifasistkaja bor'ba sovetskich ljudej v gitelrowskoj Germanii (1941-1945 gg.). Moscow, 1970) The first comprehensive study of Soviet prisoners of war, by EA Brodsky, was finally published in 1987, twenty-five years after it had been written (Oni ne propali bez ujesti. Ne slomlennije fasistkoj nevolej. Moscow, 1987). The memoirs of four Soviet prisoners of war, published under the patronage of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, were also prevented from reaching a larger audience (No 62). The memoirs of four Soviet prisoners of war, published under the patronage of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, were also prevented from reaching a larger audience (Ceron F. Ia. Nemeckij pleni-sovetskoe osvobozdene, Paris 1987). The first account of the repatriation problem available to Soviet readers was written by VN.

I have a little bit other data, but even these number tell us that bigger part of exPOWs returned to civilian life. In addition to that, reconstruction battalions was not a penalty, but a kind of military service. Taking into account that, for instance, only 3 of every 100 men born in 1923 survived by the end of the war, there was simply a dramatic lack of labour force. Those POWs returned to completely destroyed country, and no one was able to give them a possibility to recover. Please, keep that in mind when you wright something. I added a final paragraph that contains data from Zemskov's paper in the American Historical Review, 1993, and from another academic source, they show slightly different but generally consistent numbers.

The Soviets didn't commit genocide and try to exterminate their prisoners like the Germans did. From what I've read, including notes of German survivors, the Soviets did their best with what they had. And so did the Germans, when the Soviets retreated they scorched the earth and left no food or crops, see recently published Eastern Inferno. <pre>It looks like some sort of Nazi apologist POV push, trying to imply either that it wasn't "that bad", or the Soviets were "just as bad", neither of which is anything close to true. As it stands there's no rationale to keep this comparison. This article isn't about comparing numbers, it's about actions, the act of extermination and genocide.

A number of aspects of POW care were covered in detail. The edict had a very limited positive effect; most Soviet soldiers just didn't give a shit about caring for Axis soldiers, and continued to starve them, deny them medical attention, expose them to the elements, force-march them too far and to shoot them when they felt like it.

This author is quite tustworthy, because, for instance, he published some of his results in high reputable Western journals (see, for instance,Getty, Rittersporn, Zemskov.

The American Historical Review, Vol. 98, No. 4 (Oct., 1993), pp. 1017-1049, ref No 42 in this article). According to Zemskov's data majority of ex-POW's were re-drafted and only 15% of them were detained in NKVD camps (226,127 out of 1,539,475 total). If you think those data to be more relevant, please, feel free to replace.

The problem with "Nazi" is that it describes a political party, while the Soviet victims were prisoners of Germany and not all of the "criminals" were Nazis. The problem with "crimes" is that it is a legal term (who's law? "war crimes" would be a better term), but this article is about something broader than crimes. I think the term "mistreatment" is broad enough. There is no stronger term that is broad enough: the article covers much more than what it was originally designed to cover.

The proposed title, <a href="/wiki/German_mistreatment_of_Soviet_prisoners_of_war" class="mw-redirect" title="German mistreatment of Soviet prisoners of war">German mistreatment of Soviet prisoners of war</a>, seems better but a possible issue is that mistreatment seems a little mild of a term to describe the German actions. (Another issue might be that the scope is not limited to the Nazi period but I don't imagine many would argue that Russian prisoners of the Germans after the October Revolution would be considered "Soviet". Another issue is that not all of the content of the current article is about crimes/mistreatment. A good bit is simply about Soviet POWs of the Germans in general. I agree with the nominator that the title <a href="/wiki/German_prisoners_of_war_in_the_Soviet_Union" title="German prisoners of war in the Soviet Union">German prisoners of war in the Soviet Union</a> might serve as a model, but it should result from a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SPLIT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SPLIT">split</a> the article into one on Soviet POWs in Germany and another on German crimes perpetrated against them.

Even if we take the high number 557K attributed to Anne Applebaum, and the low number of POW 2.4M, then the mortality rate is 23% * (2) The paragraph includes a quote from Anne Applebaum, but does not include the estimate from Richard Overy, provided in the linked article: "British historian Richard Overy estimated that 356,000 out of 2,880,000 million German prisoners of war died in Soviet labor camps." This is mortality rate of 12%. Why include the high estimate, but not others? * (3) From Russian language sources, I also see 12%: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://militera.lib.ru/research/pyhalov_i/12.html#">http://militera.lib.ru/research/pyhalov_i/12.html#</a> The numbers are listed as follows: out of 3.576M German POWs, 442K died in captivity (12,4%); 137.8K POW casualties out of 800K Hungarian, Italian, Rumanian, Slovakian and Finnish POWs (17%); 62K casualties out of 640K Japanese POWs (9%). * (4) 30% is not listed or sourced in the linked article. * (5) The quote "Similar death rates prevailed among Soviet soldiers in German captivity: the Nazi–Soviet war was truly a fight to the death" is Anne Applebaum's opinion and seem to equate behavior of Soviet and German military towards POWs. * (6) This quote is factually incorrect "Out of the nearly 110,000 German prisoners taken at Stalingrad, only about 6,000 survived the captivity.[citation needed]" The Wikipedia quotes the number as 91K (<a class="external free" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad#Soviet_victory">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad#Soviet_victory</a>) and that number included Axis forces as well. So there could not have been 110K "German prisoners" * (7) The linked article on German POWs does not have a section on "Contemporary mistreatment of Soviet POWs" (which as it should be).

More than 4000 POWs were murdered outright by the frontline troops under the Commissar Order.

Between the summer of 1941 and the early winter of 1942 the German authorities systematically starved the "Slavic Untermenschen" who survived the death marches to the rear, denied them shelter from the elements and medical care, so the vast majority of those captured during Barbarossa were dead by the spring of 1942.

As I am not a native speaker of English, I looked up the word mistreatment: "the act of treating a person or animal badly, cruelly, or unfairly", from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/mistreatment">Cambridge dictionary</a>. So it goes that mistreatment is not nice. But is mistreatment about killing half of the persons or animals? Seems very strange to me. This is what the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Holocaust_Memorial_Museum" title="United States Holocaust Memorial Museum">United States Holocaust Memorial Museum</a> has to say about how <a href="/wiki/Wehrmacht" title="Wehrmacht">Wehrmacht</a> treated soviet prisoners of war: <blockquote>"In addition to its complicity in the Holocaust, the German army bears the major responsibility for the mass death of captured Soviet prisoners of war (POWs). Due to its initial military success, the German army captured millions of Soviet soldiers. In only eight months, 2 million Soviet POWs had died in German custody; this is eight times the number of American combat casualties for the entire war. More Soviet POWs died each day in the summer and fall of 1941 than British and American POWs died during the entire war. These deaths were not the result of poor planning and insufficient resources. They resulted from intentional policy, decided upon before the invasion. These POWs were given no shelter from the heat or cold, insufficient food, and little medical care. In all, 3.3 million Soviet soldiers are estimated to have died."</blockquote>, from <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-german-military-and-the-holocaust">"The Germany Military and the Holocaust"</a> Is this what we call mistreatment? Again, I am Norwegian, not fluent in English, but in Norwegian we would call this krigsforbrytelser (war crimes) as a minimum. In viewing the name of this article, one should also have in mind the article <a href="/wiki/Myth_of_the_clean_Wehrmacht" title="Myth of the clean Wehrmacht">myth of the clean Wehrmacht</a>. As we know, the Wehrmacht used to have a reputation as decent warriors. That was and is a lie. Many of them were war criminals, willing supporters and executioners for a genocidal regime. This name has to change, literally for the worse, as is the truth. After all we try to write an encyclopedia, we do not engage in glossing over intentional murder of millions of people, people that in any ordinary state would have been protected and cared for. <a href="/wiki/User:Ulflarsen" title="User:Ulflarsen">Ulflarsen</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ulflarsen" title="User talk:Ulflarsen">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Ulflarsen-2020-12-16T22:19:00.000Z-Change_of_name" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:19, 16 December 2020 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:Ulflarsen" title="User:Ulflarsen">Ulflarsen</a>, What alternate name do you propose?

I don't recall hearing of the author or this work before today, despite the extensive literature searches I undertook before writing this article.

Hartmann and Moore (& other sources) cover the discrepancy between German sources (3,350,000 Soviet prisoners captured during the time period when 2 million died—through the beginning of 1942) versus Soviet estimates (1 million lower). Even assuming the higher estimate is correct (most authors including Hartmann, Pohl, and Moore argue it is inflated), it is not the case that there were only 300,000 surviving POWs or exPOWs in January or February 1942.

Before you said that the authors were not experts in the Soviet POW situation, yet when an expert in that same situation actually supports the number given by Peter and Guy, now it is based on the number of citations received. Regardless, there is going to be an upper limit for the death toll, beyond just 3.3 million. Just because you have not seen a certain work before does not negate its credibility, unless you would like to assume Thomas Earl Porter is a sort of fraud merely because you have unable to find him before? It is called extensive searching, and surely would have found it if you did such a tremendous literature search beforehand. Unless the upper limit of 3.5 million is actually disproved, then there is no reason to discard it, with a basis of "it is not in the books I cited" not being a fair or legitimate argument. Going off of that logic that the number is too high, then the upper limit of 7 million for the Holocaust must surely be discarded as well, because the number is not as cited as others. Also, Porter cites the 3.5 million as being the upper limit, which it canonically is, as another source within his paper states it as the upper limit, by Michael Ellman and S. Maksudov. Again, how this is so contentious over a cited upper limit is incredible, stating the number and the other sources does not take away from its neutrality in any way, when they are clearly mentioned or cited by others. <a href="/wiki/User:Reaper1945" title="User:Reaper1945">Reaper1945</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Reaper1945" title="User talk:Reaper1945">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Reaper1945-20240326222300-Buidhe-20240326220000" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:23, 26 March 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>I'm not understanding your reasoning here.

Calvocoressi states that "The German attitude to Russian combatants was one of calculated callousness. Since they regarded Slavs and communists as hardly better than Jews, the Germans killed them or allowed them to die with similar cruelty and, likewise, in millions. The total number of prisoners taken by the German armies in the USSR was in the region of 5.5 million. Of these the astounding number of 3.5 million or more had been lost by the middle of 1944 and the assumption must be that they were either deliberately killed or done to death by criminal negligence. Nearly two million of them died in camps and close on another million disappeared while in military custody either in the USSR or in rear areas; a further quarter of a million disappeared or died in transit between the front and destinations in the rear; another 473,000 died or were killed in military custody in Germany or Poland."

Unfortunately, it fails verification. Ellman and Maksudov actually say that POW deaths are much lower: "Second, the number of war-related deaths in captivity is exaggerated. Also here it is necessary to deduct natural deaths (about 100 000), Soviet prisoners of war who stayed in the West after the war (about 200 000—in particular Baits and Ukrainians) and those released by the Germans or escaped and not reinstated in the Soviet armed forces (e.g. because of age, injury or hiding from mobilisation agencies) who may be estimated at about 300 000. These corrections have the effect of reducing the military dead caused by the war to about 7.8 million. Of these 7.8 million, it would seem that 5.5 million died at the front, 1.1 million died from injury in hospitals, and 1.2 million died in German captivity" This does not bode well for the credibility of either Ellman & Maksudov or Porter (who I now realize, overstates the generally accepted civilian forced laborer deaths by an order of magnitude).

My initial points are just to add some context to some of the potential sources: <ol><li>Thomas Earl Porter is brought up for his journal article Hitler’s Rassenkampf in the East (2009), while it has low citations to it, it is published by a historian who specialised in genocide and soviet history relating genocide. Other articles from Porter that may be of interest on this topic, particularly <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.libraryofsocialscience.com/assets/pdf/Porter-Hitler's_Forgotten_Genocides.pdf">Hitler's Forgotten Genocides: The Fate of Soviet POWs</a> (2013), which details the history of estimating Soviet deaths in WW2, including the development of estimates during Kruschev and then after the collapse, where he places the death toll of Soviet POWs at 3-3.3 million (though he cites this to Ellman & Maksudov).</li> <li>Peter Calvocoressi, while a historian, and having a nationality and political persuasion which are not aligned with the Soviets prevents considerations of such national or political biases, but as Buidhe pointed out the work is a popular history book, so should be weighted less than the academic literature.</li> <li>For both Sokolov and Zemskov, they look to be respected historians, the articles cited are from lower impact journals, the journals are not flagged for predatory or other such substandard behaviour as far as I can see. Beyond this I can provide no more commentary.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Karel_C._Berkhoff" title="Karel C. Berkhoff">Berkhoff</a>, a senior researcher in holocaust and genocide studies, articles The "Russian" prisoners of war in Nazi-ruled Ukraine as victims of genocidal massacre (2001) and The Mass Murder of Soviet Prisoners of War and the Holocaust: How Were They Related? (2005), may be of use for the article, though lacking for death estimates, as while he says that ~2 million Soviet POWs died, how he came to these numbers are not the point of his articles, but they align with what looks to be the mainstream range.</li></ol> Next, we should address the referencing of other Wikipedia articles. Many articles on Wikipedia will pull sources used from related articles maintaining consistency in information through Wikipedia, but this does not say whether the sources are any good in the first place. This is the case for the entry for this article on the <a href="/wiki/List_of_genocides" title="List of genocides">List of genocides</a>.

If I were faced with this dilemma, I would probably keep "2.8[1] to 3.3 million[2]" in the infobox as apparently the most accepted consensus at this point. I would not use Calvocoressi as too dated. The age is not the issue per se, but this work appears somewhat obscure. In contrast to, say, <a href="/wiki/Keine_Kameraden" title="Keine Kameraden">Keine Kameraden</a>, which was also published in the 70s, but to this date is considered a groundbreaking contribution and is widely cited. Goldhagen does not seem particularly useful as he's not studied nor written on the Soviet POW topic that I'm aware of, so he must be sourcing his numbers from somewhere else. <a href="/wiki/Viktor_Zemskov" title="Viktor Zemskov">Viktor Zemskov</a>, on the other hand, seems quite credible and his 2013 article addresses the topic directly and in detail. He also earns my trust by having this in his wiki page: Zemskov revealed in detail the secret-police statistics about the Gulag, resolving many disputes among Western historians about the number of people affected by political repression in the Soviet Union. So he has the required mastery of stats and complex documentation. Upon cursory look, he seems to be making the argument that substantially more that 5.7 mln Soviet troops were taken prisoner and that the discrepancy is due to high mortality while in transit to prisoner camps, and so on. Perhaps include his conclusions as a minority opinion in the body of the article, rather than the infobox?

Overmans has quite some detail about how the organization/structure worked for each of the branches, but very little on how prisoners are treated. All he says on the latter is that Luftwaffe use of forced labor on the eastern front didn't lead to the establishment of formal POW camps subordinated to the Luftwaffe command structure, and "For dealing with these POWs, who were not airmen but rather “labor” prisoners, the Luftwaffe had no treatment guidelines of its own; therefore, the relevant orders of the Field Army were applied here."

the article title might be considered as part of the review. In the current title, "committed", in my view, doesn't add anything to "German atrocities against Soviet prisoners of war". I think a change is worth considering per <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CONCISE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CONCISE">WP:CONCISE</a>. —<a href="/wiki/User:Brigade_Piron" title="User:Brigade Piron">Brigade Piron</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Brigade_Piron" title="User talk:Brigade Piron">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Brigade_Piron-20240419080500-Drive-by_comment" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>I'm not really happy with the article title.

Meets length and citation requirements. Hook is absolutely interesting and the right length. The content of the hook is referenced in the article and a citation is appended immediately after where it appears. The image appears to come from a Nazi German government source, which means it's almost certainly in the public domain. Only concern is with the image's visibility at a smaller scale; going to just leave that up to promoter discretion. QPQ done (a quick-fail of novice nomination).

First of all, it was clear that the new power, whatever it was, must be a land-power. ... Similarly, his mind often dwelt on great roads, "the beginnings of every civilisation", the nerves which must animate a land-empire. He would imagine the roads of the past—Roman roads in Europe, Inca roads in Peru, and the roads of the future—German Reichsautobahnen "from Klagenfürt to Trondhjem and from Hamburg to the Crimea" ; and when he recollected, as he so often did, the exhilarating days of the Kampfzeit... Hitler asked himself, was that really inevitable? Were not the Germans the real Kulturträger, the culture-bearers of Europe? Was it not the Germans who, when the Roman Empire had been rotted inwardly by Jewish Christianity and a declining population, had conquered and inherited it? ... It is true, Germany had already failed to conquer Russia in the past; but the Germany that had failed was the byzantine, cosmopolitan, traditionalist, Jewridden Hohenzollern monarchy, and while "monarchies are at best able to keep conquests, it is by revolutionary powers that World-Empires are created"; ... How is a social revolution carried out? he asked...

Such was the crucial struggle, a struggle for the history of centuries, in which Hitler saw himself as the incarnation of historical change. He had seen this problem—seen it at least since 1919; he had created the form in which it now faced the world, demanding solution; by his heroic efforts he had made a German solution of it possible; and he naturally believed that only he could carry through "that Cyclopean task which the building of an Empire means for a single man". That meant that it must be carried through quickly, while Germany had the advantage, before Russia was ready, and, above all, while he himself was alive. "No one knows how long I shall live.

The sentence in the article referred to in the DYK is: "By this time, more Soviet prisoners of war had died than any other group targeted by the Nazis; only the European Jews would surpass this figure." However, the definition of "targeted group" is unclear. For example, one could say that the group of "Soviet POWs" was a targeted group, but also the group of "Soviet people". Even if civilian and military deaths are typically classified separately, the "targeted group" definition does not need to follow this distinction. To see this more clear, imagine that a member of the targeted group of "European Jews" belonged to the military, became a POW and was executed because was recognised as "European Jew". Following the methodology of the article, he would be targeted as "European Jew POW", but not as "European Jew".

Collaborators were essential to the German war effort and the Holocaust in Eastern Europe. Although the Soviet Union announced the death penalty for surrender early in the war, most former prisoners were reintegrated into Soviet society. The majority of defectors and collaborators escaped prosecution. Former prisoners of war were not recognized as veterans, and did not receive any reparations until 2015; they often faced discrimination due to the perception that they were traitors or deserters.</dd></dl></dd> <dd>The rest, 75% of the lead, is about the crimes; the lead also contains this quote: Deaths among these Soviet prisoners of war have been called "one of the greatest crimes in military history".

I've added a short information that makes the concept of "magnitude" lower (cites the number of Polish POWs deaths) and then mentions a relevant topic of Polish soldiers within Red Army being murdered by the Germans.

It misses the context of the earlier mass murder of Polish POWs. As Jochen Böhler pointed out, "The mass murder of Polish prisoners of war and the deep-rooted anti-Semitism of many Wehrmacht soldiers, resulting in the mistreatment and murder of Jewish prisoners of war, make it clear that the events described went far beyond the scale of what could be expected during an armed confrontation on the scale of the war with Poland."<a href="#cite_note-28">[1]</a> In other place, referring to the German crimes against the Polish POWs, he noted that: "Witness testimonies gathered by the Chief Commission for Investigation of Hitlerite Crimes in Poland demonstrate that these were by no means sporadic excesses, but rather a mass phenomenon that occurred in all operational areas of the Wehrmacht in September 1939."<a href="#cite_note-29">[2]</a>. Therefore, I believe that the version of the text proposed by Piotrus (above) is the most valid. Another option is to delete all mentions of the Polish POWs.

Granted, here it would be good to see a comparative study of rate of atrocities committed after the battle by Germans when they took POWs from Polish Army, Western soldiers and Soviet soldiers. There is a bit of comparing apples to oranges issue here. But a text that implies that German treated Polish soldiers exactly like they treated Western soldiers is not fully correct, particularly in the context of the events of the '39 campaign. We could clarify this, based on Bohler, that "their conditions differed greatly and death rate was an order of magnitude lower" once in the camps, but it was much higher immediately after the battle (but again, without comparative data for German treatment of POWs after battles with Western and Soviet armies, this may be missing context and be misleading).

And to be clear, I am fine with the link being included in the relevant sentence rather than a see also section or template, sure. <a href="/wiki/User:Piotrus" title="User:Piotrus">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus</a>|<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Piotrus" title="User talk:Piotrus"> reply here</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Piotrus-20241106064200-Buidhe-20241103044200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:42, 6 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Another_see_also:_Soviet_atrocities_committed_against_prisoners_of_war_during_World_War_II" data-mw-thread-id="h-Another_see_also:_Soviet_atrocities_committed_against_prisoners_of_war_during_Wo-20241106070300">Another see also: <a href="/wiki/Soviet_atrocities_committed_against_prisoners_of_war_during_World_War_II" title="Soviet atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II">Soviet atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II</a></h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war&action=edit&section=41" title="Edit section: Another see also: Soviet atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II">edit</a>]<div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> This is highly relevant and should be included as a link in text, with some discussion.

Many works discuss the relation between Soviets and German POV treatment, including one already cited in this article (<a href="/wiki/Mark_Edele" title="Mark Edele">Edele, Mark</a> (2016).

As I wrote in the FAC: "[those work mention] a number of interesting facts that seem to be absent from our article, such as how Red Cross and other organizations were denied entry to German and Soviet camps for their respective prisoners, and how information about large numbers of prisoners in those countries were suppressed by those who feared that this may lead to more humane treatment due the fear of revenge. Another interesting fact mentioned by MacKenzie (but not in our article) is that Canaris argued for more humane treatment of Russian POWs (using the same logic), to no avail. IMHO the topic of how German treatment of Soviet POWs was on some level similar, and on others, different, to the Soviet treatment of German POWs should merit its own paragraph." <a href="/wiki/User:Piotrus" title="User:Piotrus">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus</a>|<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Piotrus" title="User talk:Piotrus"> reply here</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Piotrus-20241106070300-Another_see_also:_Soviet_atrocities_committed_against_prisoners_of_war_during_Wo" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>I agree with @<a href="/wiki/User:Piotrus" title="User:Piotrus">Piotrus</a>, I don't know why this is controversial, both topics are obviously related to eachother. <a href="/wiki/User:Marcelus" title="User:Marcelus">Marcelus</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Marcelus" title="User talk:Marcelus">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Marcelus-20241106090200-Piotrus-20241106070300" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:02, 6 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>@<a href="/wiki/User:Marcelus" title="User:Marcelus">Marcelus</a> Thanks.

That sentence obviously implied that we are discussing mortality rate (without even giving the figure). Then it implies that Italians in Germany had the second highest rate - but in WW2 higher rates were held by Allied soldiers in the Pacific theatre, Germans in the Soviet camps, or Italian in the same camps - for the latter, we have an estimate that is even higher than that for Soviet POWs (for mortality rate, the total number of deaths is of course much lower). We need to give context to this; the case of Soviet POWs was certainly exceptional for its total death tall, but mortality rate is also important, and here, it is less so. The reader needs this context, because numbers/figures are important, and people (our readers) like to compare stuff. Your version could misread the readers that the second highest mortality rate in WW2 was held by the Italians (and possibly, the first, by the Soviets - although the estimates for Italians in Soviet hands should be carefully checked). <a href="/wiki/User:Piotrus" title="User:Piotrus">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus</a>|<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Piotrus" title="User talk:Piotrus"> reply here</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Piotrus-20241107070300-Buidhe-20241107064900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:03, 7 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd><a href="/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Schlemmer&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Thomas Schlemmer (page does not exist)">Thomas Schlemmer</a> [<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Schlemmer" class="extiw" title="de:Thomas Schlemmer">de</a>] says (here <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.laterza.it/scheda-libro/?isbn=9788842079811">[11]</a>) that <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1237805129"><blockquote class="talkquote">In the winter of 1942-43, the Red Army captured some 70,000 Italian soldiers, whose fate was terrible.

Here's a few additional points: I looked up most of the numbers, but I'd want to make sure Piotrus is good with them. Additionally, I used Giusti as a source but couldn't verify it myself. Is this on the right track? (Aside: This discussion is a bit Eurocentric. I'd be curious to now how many Chinese POWs died in Japanese captivity. It's not needed for this article, but the discussion led to me to ponder this.) <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Wtfiv&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Wtfiv (page does not exist)">Wtfiv</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wtfiv" title="User talk:Wtfiv">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Wtfiv-20241123204500-Proposed_Draft_Revision_of_Death_Toll,_paragraph_4" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:45, 23 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>This proposed draft does not address any of my concerns: that the added content is 1) does not increase reader understanding of the actual article topic 2) undue and 3) cited (partially) to sources unrelated to the topic of the article.

POWs in Asia presumably refers to <a href="/w/index.php?title=Japanese_atrocities_committed_against_prisoners_of_war_during_World_War_II&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Japanese atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II (page does not exist)">Japanese atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II</a>. I'll try to blue link this in the foreseeable future. This is relevant as their mortality ratio was very high; additionally, Gerlach notes that the number of Chinese POWs killed by Japanese is unknown (but presumably high). This strikes me as poor research (I expect there are estimates by Chinese scholars, but likely in Chinese...); additionally, the number is likely high enough to mentioned as a relevant comparison (possibly the number would be second highest, total-wise, after Soviets; or third, after Soviet and German - my cursory search suggests it would be around hundreds of thousands to possibly over a million, but I need to find better sources). PS. The arguments about semi-relevance are hardly, well, relevant, since for example this article is happy to cite Gerlach's monograph on "The Extermination of the European Jews" (which is, obviously, not primarily about Soviet POWs). And Gerlach has an entire chapter about "The treatment of other prisoners of war" (following his discussion of Soviet POWs). In which he explicitly mentions Chinese POWs. Anyway, if we make claims about "other nationalities" we need to provide comparative data or link to articles that do so (which I am now writing, but it will take time). <a href="/wiki/User:Piotrus" title="User:Piotrus">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus</a>|<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Piotrus" title="User talk:Piotrus"> reply here</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Piotrus-20241124012300-Wtfiv-20241123222900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:23, 24 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Recent_Post-FAC_revision" data-mw-thread-id="h-Recent_Post-FAC_revision-20241117034200">Recent Post-FAC revision</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war&action=edit&section=44" title="Edit section: Recent Post-FAC revision">edit</a>]<div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> Hi <a href="/wiki/User:Buidhe" title="User:Buidhe">Buidhe</a>, You'll see that I implemented many of the suggestions I made at FAC. These include: <ul><li>The paragraph revisions on the FAC talk page that you said were okay.</li> <li>Other smaller comments on moving elements around where I didn't provide a suggested example.</li> <li>Removed duplicated links, except for one: Kept the duplicated link for "Asian" and "Asian-looking", as these are two different uses and may confuse readers. Also added link for first mention of SS.</li></ul> For the most part, I tried to respect your wording, as much of this is structural copy editing. Here are a few more substantial changes I made that you may want to look at: <ul><li>Extended "SD" to "SS Security Service", as many readers may not know Nazi abbreviations. (Added link to first mention of SS.)</li> <li>Reworked the Aktion Kugel section. I read the links and got a sense of what was trying to be said. See if I got it right or if it needs further work.</li> <li>Reworked the Soviet women soldier section. I read the relevant Hartmann pages. One of his notable points is one you mention: the idea that German gender norms are violated. He seems to be saying that orders were first given to shoot the women, but these were recinded in July 1941. But he seemed to tend against it being a policy. I reworded to reflect what he was saying but with an emphasis that few women prisoners made it to the camp, though I didn't see the other two references.</li> <li>Reworked the section mentioning German acknowledgement of the holocaust in light of the knowledge about the death of Soviet soldiers. I read the relevant pages in Gerlach, and hoped to capture the sense.</li></ul> Of course, please change anything that doesn't reflect your work on the article. If most of it doesn't work for you, I put them all in a single edit for easy full reversion. Finally, I'm very sorry to see that you didn't go through with the FAC. You were so close to being done. This is a very good article on an important topic. From my view, it looks like all that is left is working out one paragraph on comparative statistics to show the relative magnitude of what the Germans did as an atrocity and to reinforce it was an atrocity. From my perspective, it just remains to agree on what statistics can be meaningfully compared to make the point that what happened to Soviet prisoners was extraordinary. I'm not sure what your perspective is, but it looks to me like a consensus achievable. If you are open to working that out, it'd be great see it back at FAC quickly. Since it was already close to finished, I think it would pass quickly, as most of the reviewers who put their time into supporting you would quickly give that support again. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Wtfiv&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Wtfiv (page does not exist)">Wtfiv</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wtfiv" title="User talk:Wtfiv">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Wtfiv-20241117034200-Recent_Post-FAC_revision" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:42, 17 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Wftiv&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Wftiv (page does not exist)">Wftiv</a> I owe you an apology.

Some quotes: "This methodology allows Vourkoutiotis to show, for example, that the OKW ordered the reduction of food rations to British and American POWs as early as December 1941, relying on Red Cross parcels to supplement the diet of POWs. Consequently, the High Command consciously decided not to abide by article 11 of the Geneva Convention which mandated that food rations be equivalent "to what the Detaining Power would provide for its own depot soldiers." or "...it OKW policy that facilitated "satisfactory" material conditions in most of the camps, and was it the very same policy that resulted in a number of flagrant violations of the Geneva Convention." <a href="/wiki/User:Piotrus" title="User:Piotrus">Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus</a>|<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Piotrus" title="User talk:Piotrus"> reply here</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_atrocities_committed_against_Soviet_prisoners_of_war#c-Piotrus-20241125022100-Buidhe-20241124201200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:21, 25 November 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <dl><dd>@Piotrus.

I don't agree that papers published decades ago in a country without free expression should be cited for politically controversial topics or are indicative of current, mainstream scholarly thinking.

It is obvious that there is disagreement among scholars on this topic. Their contradictory views could be presented in the body of a relevant article, with attributions; certainly a view of one of them, unattributed and not representing universal academic consensus, does
