Talk:Joseph Goebbels

Cause for foot deformity

Here, the reason for Goebbels' foot deformity is listed as a congenital disorder, however, on other sources such as https://www.britannica.com/biography/Joseph-Goebbels and https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/goebbels-biography/ the reason is listed as polio. Is there a general consensus for the deformity or are there just multiple theories? Someone5679 (talk) 07:22, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Shirer says osteomyelitis and a failed surgery on the left leg. So I've added a bit using Shirer as a source. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:36, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Ok

"Jews and other groups" So the rest of the victims are not that important to mention. Just the jews... ~2025-41287-30 (talk) 10:42, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Listing the ten other main groups of victims is too much info for the lead, so I have added a link to Victims of Nazi Germany.— Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:12, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

You might as well mention the other main groups ~2026-10586-92 (talk) 21:32, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

The lead is only to be a summary of the article main points. The body of the article is for details, much as you desire, apparently. Kierzek (talk) 21:38, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Goebbels Ten Commandments

I have removed for the second time a list of Ten Commandments supposedly issued by Goebbels in 1941, sourced to this webpage. If you click the link to the original bulletin, you see a hand-typed newsletter. I don't think this looks like a high quality scolarly source. Today I decided to see if there's any other sources for such a set of commandments, and I found this webpage issued by a professor at Calvin University, whic is a better source, but lists a completely different set of commandments that Goebbels wrote in 1932. Does anybody think either of these should be included in our article? I don't agree with adding either of these, especially the 1941 version, which is poorly sourced. Comments welcome. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:25, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

The original bulletin was from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, a news agency. I don't think we should count the typing against it, I suspect it was not uncommon for small agencies at the time. What would help would be to find the publication in Das Reich, and of course further mention by historians to establish notability. "Senior Nazi says nasty things about Jews" is pretty much par for the course. As for the second, looks like a reputable professor, but again just how significant is it? Has anyone else written about it? DuncanHill (talk) 00:30, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

I have now searched using the title (The Nazi-Sozi) Prof. Randall Bytwerk uses for Goebbel's publication, and found nothing further (except a couple places where you can buy it, and a listing at WorldCat). — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:37, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia isn’t WikiLeaks. tgeorgescu (talk) 06:59, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

"isreali intentigence force" And why would an intelligence agency be a reliable source? We need sources with a reputation for fact-checking, not organizations known for propaganda and disinfotmation. Try something more reliable and reputable, like the Al Jazeera Media Network. Dimadick (talk) 23:56, 11 August 2026 (UTC)
