The German Empire Flag should be included in the infobox.
The German Empire flag was the national flag of Nazi Germany from 1933-1935. But for some reason, it is not included in the infobox but the black swastika with a white disk is. CerealContainer (talk) 00:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following line should be removed:
"In 2017, a Körber Foundation survey found that just 47 per cent of 14 to 16-year-olds in Germany knew what Auschwitz was.[467][468]
The journalist Alan Posener attributed the country's "growing historical amnesia" in part to a failure by German film and
television to reflect the country's history accurately.[469]"
This study has since been taken down from the Körber foundation. In the study only 502 students were interviewed, and the study is not representative. There is also nothing written about the methodology of the study. Koppebarnet (talk) 15:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done but I have amended it to better reflect what the source actually says: the survey found that just 47 per cent of 14 to 16-year-old German students surveyed knew what Auschwitz was. — Diannaa (talk) 19:21, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This author published a collection of short stories in 1954 called “The Nightmare”, almost all based on one fact or incident in the Third Reich. The first story is about this incident; it is named “Evidence”. I think it should be put at the end of the article, as a reference. 2A00:23EE:1518:262:7040:925A:41CF:3BB (talk) 15:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think Wikipedia needs to clarify Nazi Germany's totalitarian form of government. I believe the term "Hitlerite" should be used instead of "nazi", as "nazi" has lost its meaning in modern times. Something like Unitary totalitarian Hitlerist dictatorship.
This is a community consensus request.

Edit the name section to include the etymology for the term “Nazi”, added before the line which Hitler and the Nazis also referred to as the "Thousand-Year Reich". Should be something along the lines of “the term Nazi Germany in the English speaking world comes from a shortening of Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, the German name for the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, which led the country at the time.

Soviets should be mentioned in the first-paragraph synopsis
The thing is that the Western Allies (unfortunately) weren't able to reach Berlin before the Soviets (which were technically in cooperation with the Western Allies, but Stalin had other ideas for postwar Europe) got there first. 149.50.160.192 (talk) 13:25, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
