Too much of this article was copied from a pre-existing article for it to qualify for DYK at present; as noted below, this can qualify for DYK if it becomes a GA and is nominated within seven days of being listed.

• This is a well written and fascinating article. However, it does not qualify for DYK per Rule A5, since an estimated 7642 characters of text was copied from the previously-created Nazism and the Wehrmacht per this edit. The copied text must be expanded fivefold as if the copied text had been a separate article, to make a total of about 38,210 characters. The present article stands at 15,322 characters. I suggest that you nominate it for GA and re-nominate it here when you receive that icon. Best, Yoninah (talk) 20:55, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

My apologies, I was not aware of this rule. Calistemon (talk) 00:20, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

• Please do get this onto the main page via GA. It's indeed a fascinating article, which I think for many people adds a startling new dimension to Nazi Germany. EEng 11:49, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
