Joe Walshe was not a minister -- he was a civil servant -- so I have corrected the relevant sentence. For more info, see Talk:Joe Walshe. BrownHairedGirl 22:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Irish Times letters

edit

The article cited two recent pro-Hempel letters to The Irish Times, without noting that other letters in the same correspondence have challenged the contentions therein. In order to redress the balance, I have noted these challenges. Historian1945ab (talk) 00:39, 17 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Can this sentence be clarified?

edit

The following sentence seems to be saying that Hempel undermined an Allied operation but it is worded confusingly:

"Some historians have stated that Hempel was involved in undermining the 1942 allied raid on Dieppe to failure by reporting Canadian troop movements on the south coast of England although this charge has been disputed."

Was it failure to report troop movements that undermined the raid? Or did he cause failure of the raid by reporting troop movements? I think what is meant is that Hempel undermined the Allied raid on Dieppe by reporting Canadian troop movements and this helped cause the failure of this operation. However I am unfamiliar with the event and so am unwilling to attempt correction in this article.--Jrm2007 (talk) 02:14, 26 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
