Rape during the Armenian Genocide edit
- ... that rape during the Armenian Genocide was described by Heinrich Bergfeld as being part of a plan for "the virtually complete extermination of the Armenians"?

Date looks good, as does article length. Hook length is okay, as is format. The hook fact is cited to a Dadrian chapter in a White book from 2008, which I could not see. However, the fact also appears in a 2003 chapter written by Dadrian and edited by White: America and the Armenian Genocide of 1915. So I confirm the fact by online source. I was unable to find too-close paraphrasing or copyright violation. There are plenty of high quality references which appear to be accurately summarized.
