More Sources[edit]

If anyone has access to the following:

The London Cage (by Scotland), though note what's already said in the literature section by Normann
The London Cage (by Helen Fry)
Newspapers covering the plot at the time, in particular there was apparently significant coverage of the trial of Rosterg's murderers according to De Normann ( [1] etc)

Please let me know or expand the article with them. Thanks, Pahunkat (talk) 21:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also "The March on London" by Charles Whiting (this one is on openlib), Hitler's hangmen by Gerwarth might have something. Pahunkat (talk) 08:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: This article was a pain to write thanks to sources managing to contradict each other in various ways. These three hooks seem relatively uncontested. All book sources are available on the open library for verification.

Approved ALT0–2: Article is new enough, long enough, well-cited to reliable sources, presentable, and with no policy issues detected (neutrality, BLP, copyvio). Non-boldlinked articles in hooks also look presentable, with no maintenance banners. Hooks are formatted and of good length, with hook facts cited in article. Verified hook fact for ALT0, ALT1. AGF for ALT2 (pages 88–101 of De Normann not available at open library). QPQ waived. I feel that ALT0 is the most interesting of the three. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
