2007 comment

According to authoritative sources (including "The SS: Hitler's Instruments of Terror" by Gordon Williamson) Dr. Stuckart was not a rabid Nazi. His attempts to save people like the "half-Jews" were undertaken at EXTREME personal peril. He was responsible for saving the lives of many people (up to 28,000 in one attempt). He also released one of the leading conspirators of the attempt to assasinate Hitler. The man from all accounts appears to have been far from an ardent Nazi. - Skull-1

"By all accounts" - are you joking? That's the sort of utter rubbish that lawyers tried to pull at war crimes trials to get their 'clients' off. This was a man who co-authored the Nuremberg Laws - he was a fanatical Nazi.HammerFilmFan (talk) 13:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ridiculous. What is it with Wikipedia and articles trying to pass known Nazis and wartime German officials as Human Rights Defenders and heroes of freedom? I'm eagerly awaiting the Wikipedia article on Hitler to pass him as a member of the Resistance! 190.18.161.171 (talk) 01:10, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of unreferenced tag

The subject is mentioned only very briefly in the single reference provided, which is a general history of Nazi Germany. The overall article I believe should be considered unsupported by references.Mtsmallwood (talk) 04:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is in Robert Harris' own book "Fatherland" that he mentions that Wilhelm Stuckart may have been killed by a "vengence squad" (p.337 in 'Author's Notes'). Harris gives no reference for this and no further information on the 'vengence squads.' I have heard fleeting mentions of such squads in documentaries and books but these are mostly the "friend of a friend who knew someone in the commandoes who had a friend in MI5" sorts of stories. Personally, I have been searching for an authorative account of post-WWII operations that brought 'justice' to ex-SS and ex-Nazis but all you are able to find is heresay. Then again, it'll probably be still quite a few years before anyone (British, US or French) who openly admit that 'yes, we had deathsquads get vengence on Germans who either escaped the net or were set free by West Germany after 1952.' Even now (2009) this would be quite a bombshell for European relations. 20:12, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Fictional Portrayals

Wilhelm Stuckart appears in the 2009 novel "The Arms Maker of Berlin" by Dan Fesperman. I'd update the article but haven't got the hang of formatting the links yet nor do I have any reference other than the book itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.238.92 (talk) 00:06, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
