== Map May 1945 ==

I think there is a small mistake in the May 1945 map, that of the white, pink and red zones. To my knowledge, the areas in red should be the territories won by the Allies between 16 April and 1 May 1945 and not disputed territories [[User:DevilandDaughter|DevilandDaughter]] ([[User talk:DevilandDaughter|talk]]) 16:00, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Should Hitler be included as a commander/leader?

[edit]

Honestly, I think he should be included as a leader, but I want the input of other people first. WIKIPEDA (yes i meant to misspell it) (talk) 05:49, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree. He was a the leader of the Third Reich and thus the head of the armed forces. Jmurphy042000 (talk) 00:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you not a native English user? Only in American English is defence spelled as "defense". See: the relevant Wiktionary entry. Dimadick (talk) 06:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: please see MOS:ENGVAR. M.Bitton (talk) 16:36, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
shouldn't the proper language reflect the proper grammar? If the person is reading it in English, in America, shouldn't the article reflect that translation? As an American we can be thrown off by English spellings and vice versa,so shouldn't each page translation reflect the correct spelling? Even if that is two variations of one language, as they are not the same? Jmurphy042000 (talk) 04:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
