New views on the crownprince's role in WW I and on his behaviour towards the National Socialists and the jews

[edit]

Was Rupprecht a war criminal, or was n't he?

The Talk-page of the German Wikipedia-article on Rupprecht gives very interesting informations about this. Rupprecht's war (WWI) diary contains a lot of very doubtful entries...

There seems furthermore no doubt, that the Bavarian crownprince was a Nazi-colaborator at least until 1933, and he was an upper-class-anti-Semite. Evidence on this to be read here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:Rupprecht_von_Bayern Zworo (talk) 22:42, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just for the records, despite being called a war criminal by some Rupprecht was never tried as such. Him being an anti-Semite and a rather questionable character is proven by his own writing. However the collaboration stuff over there in the discussion is disputed and mostly interpretation. And apparently the user Zworo, who is responsible for most of that discussion, has been banned indefinitely. ...GELongstreet (talk) 14:56, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was he really successful commander in WWI?

[edit]

WW I paragprah's begins with calling him successful. Yet it eventually admits he failed to break French lines. And there is even quite much more. He was in fact ordered to only mildly occupy French forces and not attack. I added this last sourced information. So it should be checked whether calling him a successful war commander is justified. Smells like someone like his descendant biased to rate him high. Well or maybe just some sympathizer of monarchy. Like in the old old days when history was only written by the rulers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IHasBecauseOfLocks (talkcontribs) 15:45, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
