What is this supposed to mean?

"All attempts involved members of the German Reich, except where noted."

What is a "member" of the German Reich supposed to mean? Does it mean a German citizen? A German official, bureaucrat or soldier? A member of some government body or organisation? A constituent sub-national entity?

Countries don't have "members", in general. What is a "member of the United States"? Eregli bob (talk) 16:36, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speer's attempt

Albert Speer in 1945 planned to dump poison gas into the bunker ventilation system. Should this be included? -OberRanks (talk) 13:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]


  • I think it is not sufficiently established whether Speer really did plan this attempt, or whether he claimed this at the Nuremberg Trial, to safe his neck.

Detail the attempts

No joke, we should say what each foiled attempt was. Agrred?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zarbonholio (talkcontribs) 12:38, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well my good sir, that does make sense. I support this action. Trunks is killed by #17 —Preceding undated comment added 13:05, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unknown?

For two of the 1934 attempts, the location is "Unknown" and the assailant is "Unknown". How can these attempts even be listed when nothing is known about them? Either provide a reference to some information source or delete these for lack of confirmed information. 23:41, 23 February 2013 (UTC)69.125.134.86 (talk)

Are we sure about these?

Are each of these assassination attempts verifiable? There are no sources cited for most of these entries. Furthermore, many of these entries are not explained. For instance, the 1940 attempt by General von Witzleben in France; what happened? Why is there no mention of this in the von Witzleben article? Also, the number of "unknown/unknown" entries is troubling. I think I'm going to do some research into this in books, then perhaps remove a few entries if I can't find any confirmation.
