Talk:Magda Goebbels

Caption

I believe that the caption should change from “1933” to “Goebbels in 1933” because simply saying “1933” sounds incomplete. Paleontologist99 (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

It tells you all you need to know. We already know the image is of Magda Goebbels, all we need to know is from where and when. Since we don't see to know where it was taken, what's left is when. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:40, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Agree with BMK. There’s no reason to include the name again, it is unnecessary redundancy. Especially, since her name is already written out in full above the picture in the info box (for the article). What listing the year does is identify when the photo was taken. There’s no need for anything else. Kierzek (talk) 13:33, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Holde/Holdine

In the text it's "Holde"; in the photo caption it's "Holdine". 2A02:AA1:115A:D719:8C3:7987:F95:2B35 (talk) 15:39, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

More discrepancies: Hilde/Hildegard, Heide/Heidrun, Hedda/Hedwig. (Yes, it's full and abbreviated forms of the same names, but there's no reason to use both forms in the same entry.) 2A02:AA1:115A:D719:8C3:7987:F95:2B35 (talk) 15:43, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

I have changed the names in caption to match Manvell & Fraenkel page 165. Thanks for the suggestion. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:48, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Portrayals

I have removed a list of 16 different portrayals in various films and TV shows. This is really excessive. While this article is not a military history article, I feel WP:MILPOP applies here, as she was a major figure in Hitler's inner circle and to append such an enormous list of pop culture portayals is inappropriate given the seriousness of the subject. Comments/discussion welcome.— Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:13, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

I agree the list was excessive and distracting to the subject matter at hand. Kierzek (talk) 14:16, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

“And Magda Goebbels made a great strudel”

I was wondering if anyone can find a source for this rumor, but as I do not speak getman and do not have access to historical records… was magda featured in a nazi magazine for her strudel recipe? It seems plausible, but I'd like to be sure.

Source for the rumor:

“My grandfather used to say ‘and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel’ and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and he would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.” — X user @NickyFrank30 Cowin98 (talk) 05:06, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
