@Docd13: recently changed the image in the infobox to one which is apparently more accurate, but he forgot to include the "frameless" parameter that was previously there. As a result the infobox is far too big.
Whatever image is used, someone should add the frameless parameter back. InherentDogma (talk) 19:20, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Wait
editIsn't it also known as the Third Reich? 2600:1700:3680:8B70:35D5:B2D7:C65:3053 (talk) 04:35, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, mentioned in the second sentence. — Czello (music) 07:12, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Succeeded by
editCurrently, the "Succeeded by" section of the infobox contains East Germany, West Germany, and Allied-occupied Austria. It also references a talk page consensus on these choices, which I have been unable to locate (I'm sure it's around, I just haven't found it). Why are East and West Germany chosen instead of Soviet occupation zone in Germany, American occupation zone in Germany, British occupation zone in Germany, and French occupation zone in Germany? If following the page's logic, then why isn't Austria included instead of Allied-occupied Austria?
If this decision was based the current options being more notable, I feel that this is a poor decision for providing factually correct information, as the occupation zones WERE the direct successors, and the page should reflect as such. East and West Germany were not created until four years after Nazi Germany ceased to exist. At the very least, if these two must be included, why not still include the occupation zone articles as well, and put the years of each entity's creation in parenthesis next to it, similar to what KGB has for preceding and succeeding agencies? Just things to consider.

Sicily pertains to Italy...
editPlease correct: "The Allies landed in Sicily in July 1943 and in Italy in September." to "The Allies landed in Sicily in July 1943 and in CONTINENTAL Italy in September." 62.211.181.80 (talk) 16:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Fixed. --Obenritter (talk) 16:21, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
The German Empire Flag should be included in the infobox.
editThe German Empire flag was the national flag of Nazi Germany from 1933-1935. But for some reason, it is not included in the infobox but the black swastika with a white disk is. CerealContainer (talk) 00:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

The following line should be removed:
"In 2017, a Körber Foundation survey found that just 47 per cent of 14 to 16-year-olds in Germany knew what Auschwitz was.[467][468] The journalist Alan Posener attributed the country's "growing historical amnesia" in part to a failure by German film and television to reflect the country's history accurately.[469]"
This study has since been taken down from the Körber foundation. In the study only 502 students were interviewed, and the study is not representative. There is also nothing written about the methodology of the study. Koppebarnet (talk) 15:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done but I have amended it to better reflect what the source actually says: the survey found that just 47 per cent of 14 to 16-year-old German students surveyed knew what Auschwitz was. — Diannaa (talk) 19:21, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
This author published a collection of short stories in 1954 called “The Nightmare”, almost all based on one fact or incident in the Third Reich. The first story is about this incident; it is named “Evidence”. I think it should be put at the end of the article, as a reference. 2A00:23EE:1518:262:7040:925A:41CF:3BB (talk) 15:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
