Merge proposal

[edit]

I think that this article can be considered to essentially be a WP:CFORK from Denazification, which addresses the reintegration of former Nazis, including the Waffen-SS into German society after WWII. As it stands, this article has information that is not included in Denazification and thus should be merged (as opposed to deleted). signed, Rosguill talk 21:32, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose denazification was a temporary process affecting Waffen-SS veterans, among many other groups of people associated with the Nazi regime and its crimes. This article is a different topic, focusing more narrowly on the Waffen-SS and more broadly on their postwar role beyond the denazification era. Note: this article was first proposed as a section of Waffen-SS on K.e.coffman's talk page. Catrìona (talk) 21:43, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose denazification was only a short-lived process, finished in 1951. The activities of former Waffen-SS personnel went on long beyond that. Coincidently (?) HIAG was formed the same year denazification finished and was active for over 40 years. The impact, large or small, that Waffen-SS Veterans had on post-war Germany went far beyond the denazification process. Turismond (talk) 22:28, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, this is a very specific sub-article related to the Waffen-SS in post-war Germany. Denazification, as noted above, was a short-lived process related to people and groups of the Nazi era. Kierzek (talk) 00:53, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
