• ALT1: ... that Max Troll served five years in jail for betraying Communists to the Nazi secret police, but his former superiors evaded prosecution?

• @Catrìona: I have added a link to Bavarian Political Police. Do you have to re-review now? Turismond (talk) 09:31, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

• No, just adding a link isn't a significant change. Catrìona (talk) 09:55, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

• @Catrìona: Another editor suggested that the original hook be included in our October 31 Halloween prep set. The hook suggestion reads:
• ALT2: ... that between 1933 and 1936, a Troll betrayed hundreds of fellow communists to the Bavarian Political Police, a forerunner of the Gestapo?
• The nominator has agreed to this, so I will go ahead and approve it. Foreign-language hook refs AGF and cited inline. ALT2 good to go for October 31. Yoninah (talk) 13:43, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
