I look forward to reviewing this article. On first pass, it looks very informative and well-prepared. I'll begin with some initial comments sometime within the next 24-36 hours after a few readings and confirming some of the citations, etc. Thanks! --ColonelHenry (talk) 16:29, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

- Because this is an article about a controversial figure, I am willing to give significant latitude regarding stability. However, I am surprised that for an article about a controversial historical figure like Hitler, this article is not often vandalized or the subject of editwarring or serious content disputes. The article's contributors have made laudable use of the talk page to discuss difference on presentation, and the occasional interloper who happens to try to vandalize or insert fringe theories or discussion are pointed to consensus. I do not see any evidence of edit-warring in the last year of editing.
