Pretty long article, created on Feb 4 and nominated for DYK on Feb 8, QPQ done, no copyvio issues, well structured and well written (in fact a good article candidate in due course). There seems to be a minor problem with the hook stating the US later ruled their managers whereas the support source does not mention all their managers. @Ultracobalt: suggest rephrasing the hook as the US later ruled most of their managers. The terms, The Holocaust and Nazi party could also be linked. Please ping me once the issue is addressed. jojo@nthony (talk) 05:25, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
