- ... that Nazi crimes against children resulted in over two million victims, from actions such as euthanasia to kidnapping and mass murder? Source: 2m estimate from cited book Lukas (1994). For other keywords, see academic sources cited in relevant sections

Hellow Piotrus, review is as follows: article created within 7 days of nomination, hook is good, article is well-written, QPQ done, offline source accepted in good faith. Nihil obstat. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 02:41, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Piotrus, I don't think this meets WP:DYKCOMPLETE, it seems generally focused on Poland. I would expect more coverage of children from other occupied territories too. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:42, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: I thought it was generally focused on euthanasia (of disabled or sick children)? About half of the article is about that, Poland is primarily covered under shorter 'collective punishment'. Based on sources I found this seems to be due, and I think I link to all subarticles. Based on my lit review for this (note I am not aiming to get this to GA, too depressing) the sources focus primarily on euthanasia, with plight of Jewish and Polish children discussed by fewer sources; anything else seems to be pretty fringe (or at least, I did not find any sources focusing on other topics, nor Wikipedia articles to summarize in relevant subcategories). PS. I see there was also one more paragraph mostly about Poland in 'other crimes', but I stand by my view that this reflects what the sources say. That said, I realized I forgot to write up about Nazi child soldiers - I've added a paragraph. I expect more could be said, but this seems very poorly researched; it took me half an hour before I found a reliable source with some data on this (I couldn't even locate a single academic article that would cover this...). PS. I've added a bit more content, mostly about non-Polish topics. I expect more could be added, but I cannot locate sources (for example, surely Nazis used collective punishment in USSR and murdered children there, but I am unable to locate any work covering this - perhaps it requires a Russian speaker to query Russian or other Cyrillic sources). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:59, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
