Merger[edit]

I disagree with the merger between Eugen Ott (general) and the other Eugen Ott article. Are they not two different people?

Apparently you're right: according to Lexicon der Wehrmacht, there are two German generals named "Eugen Ott": a Generalmajor (this one) who served as a military attache to Japan, but never received the Knight's Cross [1] (the photo should be moved from this Eugen Ott to this one). The latter was a General der Infanterie [2]. In conclusion, the articles shouldn't be merged. But it would be wise to add a "not to be confused with..." etc. disclaimer Jake V (talk) 19:37, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
