Talk:Operation "Edelweiss"

Multiple problems

This article will need to be further investigated. I have changed the Bot's B assessment to start and I have serious doubts about the accuracy of the article. It has a single source in a foreign language. Albanian I assume. Either someone who can read it needs to check this or research in English language sources, if available, will be required. The supposed German or German supported commanders were Albanian politicians who collaborated with the Germans, "leaders" perhaps but not commanders. Operation Edelweiss was the German plan to capture the oil fields of Baku. I doubt that the Germans would have used the same code name for a different operation. "Edelweiss" is in quotation marks in the title. References and coverage are deficient. I will need to leave it at start for the time being pending any further research. I should add that actions by and against partisans certainly took place in Albania and other countries so the single source likely concerns such an action. I have ordered a book which I hope will shed more light on this. Of course, it won't disclose any copyright issues, if there are any. Donner60 (talk) 06:15, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Building onto this, Operation Edelweiss already exists as a redirect to Battle of the Caucasus#German operations, so we should consider to what extent this single-source article could be merged into that section (or the other way around at a dedicated article without the quoted title).
