Etymology

Per this blog post by Peter Gainsford (top of page for Google Scholar/ORCID links) the whole section on etymology is wrong and needs attention from someone who knows Greek. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 13:34, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Facism and Nacism 'produced' heroes

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Facism (Italy under Mussolini) declared that the italian soldiers fallen in WW I had been heroes.

During WW II, the Propaganda in Nazi Germany produced heroes by giving certain soldiers the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, War Merit Cross, de:Verwundetenabzeichen (1939) and manyy others.

de:Kategorie:Orden und Ehrenzeichen (Wehrmacht) contains 80 edits (12 Army, 18 Kriegsmarine and 50 Luftwaffe)

Some were mentioned in the Wehrmachtbericht, i.e. Flying aces (fighter aces). Vieilissant (talk) 04:20, 17 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
