too much approval information, which is not relevant for a nazi person->it indicates a disputed picture--78.104.4.82 (talk) 12:39, 7 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have a problem with the speculation of who was in charge when it seems like a piece of OR to me and needs to be attributed to a source.

"Kaether, in command for less than a day, never physically took command" -- TRUE (but needs a citation)
"and was functionally replaced by Hitler." -- Who says so?
"Bärenfänger commanded the garrison acting as the dictator's deputy." -- Who says so?
"On 23 April, Hitler appointed General Helmuth Weidling to command Berlin's defenses. Hitler appointed Weidling shortly after cancelling his own orders for Weidling's execution." -- TRUE (but needs a citation)
"In the general confusion caused by Hitler's rapid changes, Bärenfänger, as Hitler's deputy commander, fits in between the commands of Reymann, Kaether, and Weidling." -- This seems like OR to me unless it can be shown that most sources support this interpretation it needs to be attributed in the text to the "best" source that makes this claim. Quotes on this talk page from reliable sources would help clear up this issue.
