Talk:Alfred Naujocks

Untitled

The English version of Alfred Naujocks is rather vague concerning his death. The German Wikipedia edition states rather definitively that he died on April 4, 1966 while he was being tried before a German court. More research and revision should be done here.

Catalyst

The sentence in the lead, "according to some historians, the catalyst" for starting the Second World War in Europe", is nice and dramatic but perhaps not entirely accurate. Can anyone think of a way to reword it, keeping the tone but adding in a dose of accuracy? Orpheus (talk) 14:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

War after 1941

How could someone who "served as an economic administrator for the troops in Belgium" be "involving himself in the deaths of several Belgian Underground members"? This is not something that he could do as hobby, which is almost what is implied.Royalcourtier (talk) 06:29, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Mosely's "On Borrowed Time"

Mosely treats Naujack's version as fact, however the source is Naujocks own Nuremberg testimony, and it is notable that all of the SS men who participated except Naujocks received and Iron Cross for the operation. Supposedly he did not because he failed to broadcast the "Polish" message from the radio station. From the chapter "Operation Canned Goods" around p. 43496.240.128.124 (talk) 03:21, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

The entire western narrative is based on the testimony of one SS man -- Naujocks -- looking to save his hide at trial, by cooperating with western prosecutors. (Which he did.) If the not-so "collective west" is entirely pleased to believe the testimony of one SS man up for trial? -- well so be it. Entirely in keeping with the west's modus operandi since May, 1945; and proves the statement that "History is written by someone who was not there about something that did not happen.." The postulate that Poland did carry out the attack with the motive to engage France and Britain in the war at a date when Chamberlain was acting as the perfidious mountebank and double-dealing con man that he certainly was, makes more sense than the testimony of an SS man looking for favour. Just saying. Montoya44 (talk) 04:04, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Date discrepancy

According to the text, "circa November 1944, Naujocks turned himself over to American forces". According to the photograph caption, the picture was "taken by the U.S. Army after Naujocks had deserted to the American forces on 19 October 1944".2A02:AA1:1600:8E5:E942:43AD:547F:E77A (talk) 18:36, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
