Lloyd Fredendall : thanks for your kind answer

Merci beaucoup, cher collègue, pour ton aimable réponse à ma question d'avril 2008 sur Lloyd Fredendall ("Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre", dit-on chez nous). Réponse sans une faute de français (normal : tu as des ancêtres wallons ! ;-) ) , à part (dommage) à la dernière ligne ( ExcuseZ, faiblE )...

As you may see on my User Page roster, I wandered after Fredendall into A.C.W., then into Spanish Civil War, and was intrigued by the queer destiny of those poor German men who fought in WW I, escaped nazi Germany in 33, fought in 36-39 in Spain, were squalidly stored away by France, then delivered to Gestapo, and whose survivors tryed to built a land, and were superseded and-or decimated by their kins who had stayed safely in Moscow for 15 years... I now focus on Hans Beimler , one of those "cocus de l'Histoire" , & try to find precise sources showing up he was shot in the back in 36 in Madrid by Richard Staimer , who 20 years later became an aparatchik in DDR while Baimler was officially installed as an anti-fascist heroe ... I find Der Speigel an interesting next-to-contemporary source, as you may see in the 1956 article "Verrirte Kugeln" ([1]) . If you care to cast a glance at it, you'll see it points at the end to 3 other articles about Beimler's death (Aufbahrung des Politkommissars Beimler (1936): Woher kam der Schuß? - Sowjetzonale Ernst-Beimler-Medaille: Vorbild proletarischen Kämpfertums - Spanienkämpfer Rau, Staimer (l. u. M.): Neuentdeckte Tradition) . I see on your UP that you are very fluent in German, & you look quite deft at handling links...Could you please help me in the research of those 3 articles ? I've tryed again & again to find them on Der Speigel's site, but fruitlessly...With my beforehand thanks for your time, t.y. BTW I also have walloons ancestors, funny to think that they maybe got in touch some centuries ago ..."Le monde est petit ! " as we say here ) Arapaima (talk) 09:18, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I hope that you can help with a correction to the February to July 1942 section of this article where, towards the end, there is a blind link to the Soviet 21st Army. In fact there is an extensive article on the Soviet 21st Army and the link should be to there. Unfortunately I do not know how to create the required link.

11th Guards Mechanised Brigade

Thanks for checking with me Mr. Wilson. The MILUNIT rule is that the most recent name of the formation/unit should be used; that's why I decided to create the 120th Guards Mech as 120th Guards Mech, rather than 120th Guards RD, which would have probably been the title with the most WP:RSs heading to it. Also means the entire history of the unit can be covered. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 06:35, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

6th TC, yes, 6th TD (pre-war) no. My intent in gathering all the 9th TD information together was to create one article for all references to Sov formations that were designated '9th TD' (we may eventually split it out much much later, when we get good histories of the 1938-41 tank divisions). So that would be the same for 11th Guards TD or previously TC. Because it was formed from a non-Guards formation, we can include 6th TC. But including 6th TD violates the above rule, and causes confusion with 6th GTD as I think it was.

Also many many many kudos on 11th Tank Division, especially since it was disbanded in the 1950s. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 06:57, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I assume this is the 57-65 period, or maybe the Mech Div/Tank Div reorg of the 1950s. One simply has to try and present things in a way that non-specialists will best understand. Going with the apparent Soviet intent of '65 to go back to the 1945 designations, my view would be to put the few years of the 6th TD in the 19th TD article, noting the designation change as per 90th Guards Tank Division infobox or your splendid new 11th TD infobox. Happy to discuss - no rights or wrongs here. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:08, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Agree. Suggest we crack on with the 19th GTD article in the near future as well. The problem is that the best sources readily available are not clear on the final VKhVT designation or current status. Buckshot06 (talk) 08:09, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Great work!! Needs however to be linked at any other armies beyond 1st Guards Tank Army that it was subordinate to during the war. Cheers Buckshot06 (talk) 09:01, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

'Ranged among the Guards' is the GTranslate of Russian references to it, and makes sense in English - sort of [ar]ranged as part of serried ranks of Guards units marching past the Red Square saluting base. But it's your article, make the change as you will. Buckshot06 (talk) 09:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Great work on 9th Guards Motor Rifle Division ! Will need to be mentioned in a few places, like Transbaikal Military District etc. I can help with that. Buckshot06 (talk) 21:34, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Belgium in World War II

Hello W.
I'm sorry if I sounded a bit brusk on the edit summaries I made. The areas you mentioned are certainly important. Personally I prefer "American" as an adjective over U.S., but I'd appreciate it if you could make the changes from US to U.S. throughout. What you say is quite right after all. Would you be interested in picking up the GA summary? The half-completed GA reviewing page can be found here, I'm sure it would be fine to continue it?
By the way, the Battle of the Bulge is not something I know much about; if you could add something into the (empty) section on the subject in Luxembourg in World War II also, that'd be much appreciated!
All the best & thanks for your help! ---Brigade Piron (talk) 20:58, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, would you still be willing to do the GA review? I got the feeling from the previous reviewer that there was not a great deal of work needed anyway! All the best! ---Brigade Piron (talk) 18:20, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much! It's probably best to start a new review (I think Retro-lord's review has been closed, I don't know if its possible to reactivate) but thank you again! ---Brigade Piron (talk) 08:40, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

SS Panzer Corps July 1943, Frieser

(Requests for Battle of Prokhorovka)

Sorry to pester you with these requests:

1) Please can you provide me the context of the 41 damaged tanks and AGs attributed to the SS Panzer Corps by Frieser's Die Ostfront 1943/44, page 130. From what Glantz has, which is 42, I suspect the figure is from the difference between the on-hand tank strengths of 11 and 13 July, but I don't want to get ahead of myself until I confirm with you.

The figures are given for the 1st and 2nd SS Divisions for the report of 12 July 1943. The figure is for vehicles with "long term" (serious) damage, and Frieser states the figure includes some damaged vehicles from previous days, but does not specify further. He mentions there were also 67 vehicles with "short term" damage, mostly damaged radio antennas.

2) Please can you confirm that the 3 tank losses stated on page 132 (Frieser) is only for LSSAH on 12 July. This article Vor 60 Jahren: Prochorowka (Teil II) mentions that the 3 tank losses were only for LSSAH (unless Google Translate messed big time).

Don't see anything about this on page 132. Page 133 includes a graphic that shows three German tank losses, but does not specify the unit that had the losses.

3) Does Frieser give the WIA-KIA-MIA breakdown of the 522 casualties?

He does not.

Thanks in advance. EyeTruth (talk) 05:51, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

W. B. Wilson (talk) 15:26, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I made a mistake for the 3 tank losses. It is supposed to be on page 130 instead. Also, to confirm, the 41 losses are essentially long term motor vehicle damages (including soft-skinned and AFVs), right? And are they from II SS Panzer Corps archival data? (I really feel like I'm bothering you too much but please bear with me for a little bit more). EyeTruth (talk) 19:06, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

The "41" figure is for tanks and assault guns. The loss of three tanks is tied with II SS Corps but I don't see a division specified in Frieser's text. The data all seems to be taken from II SS Corps archives. The interesting thing about the loss of the three tanks noted is that they could not be recovered because of Soviet fire (thus they were a "total loss"). For me, this is where I have doubts about our (I mean Wikipedia's) way of comparing losses. The Prokhorovka article shows 144 or 334 Soviet armored vehicles destroyed. But if we were to apply what the standard for what the Germans called a "total loss", then the Soviets would have zero losses because, ultimately, most of those destroyed vehicles were likely recovered. Kind of makes one wonder how the Soviets defined "irrevocable loss", because it sounds like it does not mean the same thing as what the Germans meant by "total loss". Considering the 41 German vehicles with long-term damage, they probably met the conditions for being considered "knocked out" or "out of action"; making the total for German vehicles knocked out in the battle at least 44. This is not something that we can resolve as editors, but a note discussing this issue might be useful in the "Notes" section of the article. W. B. Wilson (talk) 05:06, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Yup, you nailed it. I will eventually get to that. An interesting stuff is that according to the study by the U.S. Army Concepts Analysis Agency (Kosave II), a good number of the tanks losses classified as damaged (that is, withdrawn to repair shops) actually never made it back to the front line, or at least not before 18 July. According to the study, the average ratio of Soviet to German tank losses (destroyed, total loss) in the southern Kursk salient is 6:1, however when damaged tanks not returned to front line are accounted for, the ratio reduces to 2.66:1. As for the irrevocable Soviet tanks losses of 334, those are actually total write-offs (hence irrevocable). Even Rotmistrov in his memoir, acknowledged that his tank units took serious beating at Prokhorovka, although he tried to balance it out by giving impossible figures for German losses in men and materiel (350 tanks and 10,000 casualties in just one day).

But note that most German tank losses were not incurred while fighting attacking Soviet tanks units. The Soviets paid excessive attention to all-round anti-tank warfare during the campaign, and that paid off. On the occasions the Soviet tank units decided to go out of their fortified positions to face the Germans, they always took serious beating, like 5 July in northern face, or 6 July on the left wing of 4th PA, or 8 July on right wing of 4th PA, or 12 July at Prokhorovka.

Also, I finally found all the casualty figures (with the KIA, WIA, MIA) reported by the medical staff of II SS Panzer Corps for 5 to 20 July hidden away in Zetterling & Frankson's appendices. It also has Totenkopf's figures that couldn't be found in Frieser's (in the brief note, Zetterling & Frankson claimed that they are probably the first to publish Totenkpf's figures). I will soon update the infobox with those after I carefully add them up for 10 to 17 July. EyeTruth (talk) 07:04, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
