- ... that Ernst Dammann, an early member of the Nazi Party, was a founding figure of African Studies in the DDR—together with Walter Markov, a communist who spent much of the Nazi era in prison?

Interesting life, on good source, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obviou. There is a cn (citation required) for his school, not by me. The first book causes a citation error, please use it somewhere inline. - I wonder a bit about how necesary it is to mention his wife's choice of church at all. - How do you feel about an infobox? - Waiing for qpq also. - The hook is a bit wordy but intereting, and I predict the stats, with Nazi mentioned twice ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:47, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: I've linked DDR in the hook, since it's going to be far less well known than "Nazi Party" (which probably doesn't need a link), and changed the double hyphen to a proper unspaced em dash. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset, review added--thanks for the note and the edits. Drmies (talk) 20:44, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- Drmies, thank you for the qpq. There a still a few questions above, any comment. Citation tag? Wife's religion? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:41, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, I took care of that tag--I think I put it in there myself when I first did the translation. Yes, I believe the wife's religion has some validity here, for a couple of reasons--it indicates something about their marriage, which was strong enough to survive difference; it says something about the time (I didn't know about any of that), and if I leave that out I leave her out altogether. Is that a good enough reason? ;) Drmies (talk) 14:04, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
Accepted, with thanks. - If you could say a bit more about her, I'd be pleased. She will probably never have an article, so here is where we could read a bit about an independent woman ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:48, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
