A fact from Eugen Ernst appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 November 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the appointment of Eugen Ernst(pictured) as president of the Berlin police prompted the Spartacist uprising of 1919?
The article says nothing about his activities during the Nazi period and WWII, which is rather odd.Bill (talk) 06:03, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
He turned 80 in 1944, what kind of "activities" do you expect. HerkusMonte (talk) 14:31, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Nazis came to power in 1933 when he was 69 and a town councilor. Was he forced out of public life? Imprisoned? Exiled? He may not have been physically very active and may have been retired, but he still had a life and might have acted against the Nazis or might have been targeted by them.Bill (talk) 04:00, 28 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
