[edit] Destruction

Hmm, there seems to be something wrong about the 1944 history. The article states that the division arrived to the area in mid-September, roughly 1,5 months after the uprising started. Yet, it also claims that it took part in the fights against the Soviet offensive that was halted... on August 3rd. //Halibutt 16:07, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attack near Königsbrück on April 22, 1945

The text stated the Polish 1st Division was destroyed by the HG PzDiv in mid-April, 1945. This cannot be true, because the Polish 1st Division (Polish People's Army = LWP) was near Berlin at that time, and the HG PzDiv was in the vicinity of Dresden. However, from April 22-24, the HG was in the 4. PzArmee, which attacked the inter-army boundary of the Polish 2nd Army (LWP) and the Soviet 52nd Army. Penetrating the boundary, the HG and one other division enjoyed two days of overrunning the communications and logistics trains of the two opposing armies. Finally, on April 24, the German attack was stopped by the Soviet 5th Guards Army. As far as I can determine, no divisions of the LWP were destroyed by the Germans, the closest thing to this sort of event being the heavy casualties taken by the LWP 1st Division at Lenino in late 1943. Postscript: See the main article citation for Hans von Ahlfen, detailing the Soviet and Polish units the Germans believed to have strongly damaged or destroyed. I believe the article's original reference to the "Polish 1st Division" was a confused reference to the Polish 1st Tank Corps (LWP). PPS: Correction to above. According to a thorough Polish reference on the LWP in World War II, Polish losses in this battle were indeed severe. See the citation in the main article for details. W. B.

[edit] war crimes

the fourth citation is confusing, as it is claimed in the article to verify alleged war crimes. but when one reads the citation it says nothing about human shields but simply states how many Polish soldiers were killed. can someone who has the "source" clarify this?

· The numerical notation is confusing; looking in the edit text for the page, this note actually refers to the external link http://info-poland.buffalo.edu/classroom/uprising.html Professor Peter K. Gessner State University of New York at Buffalo - the fourth (non-external) citation that you saw about Polish casualties was referenced earlier in the text when the fighting of April 1945 was discussed.

ok thanks, that is weird, it says #4 in the text, but it is the 3rd external link. I understand why I confused the two now.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PGDA - FPD HG.jpg

Image:PGDA - FPD HG.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
