Suggested editing

Under the 'Lidice Shall Live' section, rather much detail is given into the background and event of the Lidice massacre. If these are adequately covered in the wiki article on the massacre, then surely a more summary description could be given for the purposes of this article. Also more tightening up on repetitions of the Lidice topic later in the page.Cloptonson (talk) 06:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the Lidice Shall Live section I have added a direction to the Lidice Massacre wiki article and condensed the opening paragraph but I have copied the statistically detailed original passage here in case there is detail not in the wiki article that could be added to it later:

All of the village's 192 men were killed. 173 men were shot by Nazi troops on the day they entered Lidice. The Nazis later went onto shoot a further 19 men and 7 woman from the village on 16 June in Kobylisy. 198 women and 98 children were separated and taken to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. Of the 198 women taken to the camp only 146 are known to have survived. It is believed the 3 women died on the death march and 49 women were tortured to death. A total of 82 children were gassed at Chełmno on the orders of Adolf Eichmann with a further 6 children being killed elsewhere. Only 17 younger children survived the tragedy having been placed with German families (these children returned to Lidice after the war).

Nominated paragraph for deletion

I propose for deletion the paragraph detailing the Lidice Monument erected 2013 as it was an event well past Stross' lifetime and the paragraph does not mention him.Cloptonson (talk) 20:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
