This work is a mess... Obviously the translation software was not intended for leisurely reading. The hardest bit it determining appropriate tenses and fixing reverse word order. It's going to take a mammoth amount of sitting and fiddling. LincolnDouglas 05:19, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've finished rewriting the article.

I haven't removed the copyedit tag because I'd like for someone else to read over it first and concur that it's good enough. Going from broken english to working english sometimes makes it hard to tell how good the new version actually is. :)

I (and other german speakers) need to continue comparing this version with the German version to correct any translation mistakes.

I see some other edits that I can make, but I'm done with this article for today. :)

Well I've gone ahead and continued my rewrites and added a little information. I think the article is about done. Would be nice to get someone else to sanctify the sweeping changes I've made over the last few weeks.

In the article start the given date for Hugo Schmeisser's death is September 12 of 1953, but at the After WWII section the given date of his death is December 9 of 1953. Each one of this is the correct date? -- Get_It 18:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be an error arising from US date writing = month/day/year and the rest of the world = Day/month/year- thus 12-09-1953 and 09-12-1953 become confused, if the original source for the date is US its likely to be month first date second.
