Death[edit]

What was his demise? It does not mention anything in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.58.15 (talk) 18:24, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His dates of birth and death are not reported in any source that I am aware of. Sandstein 20:08, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to the German version [1] he died in 1942... which means the current section "After the war: attempts at rehabilitation" is incorrect about what he did and when. -- Limulus (talk) 16:33, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

de:Franz Tausend and Heinz Kurschildgen are not the same people. Sandstein 18:23, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh goodness, I'm not sure how I made that mistake, sorry! -- Limulus (talk) 05:12, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
