It would be appreciated if the Germany project or one of the other projects involved could consider these points, and either add a few sentences to the biography about Hitler's crimes, or if that is too difficult, instead balance the material by removing the World War I description and reference to the book, leaving only genealogy. In any case, a direct link to Mein Kampf should be removed, because of its antisemitic nature.
Other infamous Nazis are NOT managed by the Germany Project, they should be managed by the Military and War Project. The only reason the Germany Project is managing Hitler's profile is because we manage the profiles of German Presidents and Chancellors and Hitler was the leader/führer of Germany from 2 August 1934 – 30 April 1945. Hitler was preceeded by a chancellor and president and succeeded by a chancellor and president.
