If it is not too long, can keep this for WWII anniversary on 1st Sept? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 13:56, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Length, date, hook ok. Polish sources accepted per AGF, though I can't read them. No readily apparent copyvio or neutrality problems; the content is more or less congruent with the less-developed German article. Interesting topic. Sandstein 13:20, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

It's a noteworthy date and this will be an appropriate lead image. I'm IAR and moving this to the special occasions holding area for September 1, 8 weeks from now. Yoninah (talk) 23:50, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
