... that a group of Germans established a republic by the name of Hitler in Indonesia?
ALT1:... that a group of Germans established a Nazi republic in the Dutch East Indies?
Comment: Don't be fooled by the revision history, the dates before 5 April isn't correlated to the article. I've made a fault by moving my own sandbox into the article. Apologize me.

An additional note, I raised a question about the main source's reliability at RSN; it looks like the most heavily used source checks out in general, but the specific claim that the Germans established a republic is a bit shakier and appears to rely on self-published sources. I would suggest finding some other way to phrase the Germans' actions (e.g. that a group of Germans established a Nazi state in the Dutch East Indies or that a group of Germans staged a successful revolt in the Dutch East Indies during WWII. signed, Rosguilltalk 01:53, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the article is an orphan. Please link it in at least one other Wikipedia article so it won't get an orphan tag. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:17, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
