"The Speer of Hamburg"

Would be great if there would be an English article about Konstanty Gutschow. Use Deepl for translation. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstanty_Gutschow https://www.ndr.de/kultur/geschichte/chronologie/Hitlers-Hafen-Die-Nazi-Plaene-fuer-Hamburg-,hitlershafen101.html https://www.ndr.de/kultur/geschichte/chronologie/hitlershafen101_page-2.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8109:B40:2258:A990:E820:A369:6186 (talk) 11:03, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tone is pro hitler

Several sentences have a tone supporting hitler and worse some guess what further expansion of the horrid empire would mean. Very uncouth. Very gross. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.21.95.46 (talk) 06:34, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please point out which sentences you are referring to. Copy & paste works well for that.

Context of architecture

I added two paragraphs about how the architecture differs from Classism, citing a psychological study that found people reacted differently to Nazi buildings than typical examples of Classism. I also added a section about the context under which the buildings were created. Part of the history of the architecture was that the buildings were built for reasons beyond aesthetics––they were also helping the Nazis exterminate people by providing more situations for forced-labor. It's important to consider on this page because Nazi architecture was not just a style, it was an entire political system. Goldrider (talk) 09:51, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The typography image

The image of "Nazi style typography" should be removed as it is nothing of the sort. There was no specific type of Nazi typography, as the text indicates, but there were stages. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 17:53, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
