WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Antisemitism in Poland#Article sourcing expectations (9 May 2021):

The Arbitration Committee advises that administrators may impose "reliable-source consensus required" as a discretionary sanction on all articles on the topic of Polish history during World War II (1933-45), including the Holocaust in Poland. On articles where "reliable-source consensus required" is in effect, when a source that is not a high quality source (an article in a peer-reviewed scholarly journals, an academically focused book by a reputable publisher, and/or an article published by a reputable institution) is added and subsequently challenged by reversion, no editor may reinstate the source without first obtaining consensus on the talk page of the article in question or consensus about the reliability of the source in a discussion at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard.

Use of soviet tank engines for gassing.

This is both unconfirmed and highly unlikely. The people who actually maintain per the engines said that they were petrol engines from German trucks. Easy to maintain and use. Soviet tank engines would have to be brought from the front, (highly impractical) and would be Diesel engines - not producing the needed carbon monoxide at any decent rate - and would be hard to maintain, get spares for, etc. It is true that some people - non technical, and often third party- claimed they used tank engines or submarine engines (similarly impractical) because they sounded scary and more sinister- but this is very much unconfirmed, and disputed. It would be better to edit this page and drop the claim- apart from anything else, this claim is often highlighted by Holocaust deniers who point out that it is Impractical, and that the engines would not be good for gassing people. Keeping this claim in the article fuels Holocaust denial. 79.94.163.107 (talk) 18:04, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Typo

In the sentence, "the SS pumped exhaust fumes from a large internal-combustion engines through long pipes into sealed rooms", based on the later source (AICE/Jewish Virtual Library), this should probably be in singular for the engine (there were probably multiple engines at the site but it sounds like only one was used per gas chamber for a round of killing). 108.18.207.147 (talk) 16:46, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addition that i cannot insert because the document is write protected...

after note 67, after “local partisans”.

Operation Reinhard ended in November 1943. Most of the staff and guards were then sent to northern Italy for further Aktion against Jews and local partisans.(68)
