The article is based on posts from the forum, the novella and the website where the photo is posted. Furthermore, this person's name has been arbitrarily changed to "Piotr" although sources state "Peter". I have not been able to find any information about this person in Polish sources. "Chemy" is certainly not a Polish name, it is probably spelled incorrectly. Is a common murderer notable enough to have a Wikipedia article? Marcelus (talk) 05:11, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, although 'novella' is a bit harsh: it's a memoir of an officer directly involved with the execution. However, it seems the author was assigned to Landsberg only after the trial had already concluded, so the story of the murders might just be a rumour amongst the soldiers (most of which wouldn't have spoken German or Polish).

In any case, it's not an academic source and it's not cited directly. ErfeoM (talk) 10:15, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Not really a notable story/person. 38.73.253.217 (talk) 10:54, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
