External link not NPOV[edit]

The link to http://www.portal-ns.com/thecensure/eben.htm is, in my opinion, far from NPOV. Apart from the fact that www.portal-ns.com is a national-socialist fan website, the article that is linked to only gives the German point of view and only in a biased way.

Sentences like these are clearly not NPOV:

  • "Within seconds the parachutists had broken out of the craft and were standing, the first soldiers of the German Army, on Belgian soil. It was a glorious, sun filled dawn!"
  • "Patrols in the galleries were now using hollowcharge grenades to bring down the ceilings and to cut off the defenders from their comrades in the other forts. Such patrols were not without danger, and one three man group, checking the upper level of galleries between Objectives 12 and 3, was tragically intercepted and destroyed by cowardly Belgian soldiers who had at first deceitfully surrendered to them."
  • "If one includes the two glider loads of men who arrived late, the total of parachutists involved in the operation was 85. Six of these heroes fell in action, twenty more were wounded."
