See the German page for "Otto Weiss", which enumerates several people named "Otto Weiss". I have been looking for the origin of the quote "every event in history has its unsung heroes" and I can't locate it on Wikipedia.
I tagged the article with "Globalize" as it represents German 1950s POV. Unreliable sources refer to known fabulist Franz Kurowski as well as Georg Butting known for his National Socialist bend. Please let me know if there are any concerns. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:08, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if there's a desire to establish the reliability of Brütting, then seeing some secondary sources attesting to such would be great. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:03, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
