General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: A fascinating little article - well done. However, AFAICS the hook is not backed up by the German source cited at the end of the sentence which reads "In 1942, she became a leader of a section of Rado's Red Three resistance movement." I could take the other source in good faith, in which case the ref to Der Spiegel should be axed. That said, I think ALT1 is the more interesting hook and would be happy to run with that, taking that reference in good faith too. Bermicourt (talk) 20:29, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

  • Bermicourt The full URL to view the books online are ALT0 & ALT1 (p85)- but Wikipedians don't like these long URLs with search parameters, which is why I use the short URLs. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:45, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Perfect. Are you happy to run with ALT1? Bermicourt (talk) 20:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi @Joseph2302: I don't understand what you mean by Wikipedians don't like these long URLs with search parameters. You can write a URL that links directly to the page in question; see my edit. Also, your book citations lack page numbers. Yoninah (talk) 22:54, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
  • The default URL from Google books is about 3-4 lines long, which is why I don't use it. Didn't know about the page numbers in the URL, thanks. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:17, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
  • @Joseph2302: I get it by searching on Google Books for the book name plus a word or two from the page on which it appears. That brings up the URL with the page number, and I erase everything after the page number. I also make sure to format the URL for google.com rather than my country code.
