Kadaver

what is the correct translation of the word "Kadaver"?

- Normally 'carcass' (as in animal body) rather than 'cadaver' (as in human body) Mr_pand [talk | contributions] 09:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hun

Seems a little strange that the article doesn't mention the word "hun"... AnonMoos (talk) 06:15, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changed harvnb to sfn as the citations had red all over them.Keith-264 (talk) 21:34, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article contradicts itself

According to the article "Britain had several propaganda agencies at the war's outbreak" and "Britain had no propaganda agencies in place at the war's outbreak". Clearly at least one of these statements is untrue. DuncanHill (talk) 18:42, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
