The main page 'Did You Know' says "...that Rupprecht Gerngroß is considered the leader of the only successful putsch against Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany?"
I don't see in this article where he was successful at all. In fact, throughout it says that he failed in his 'Putsch'. What's the truth? CsikosLo (talk) 15:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I quote from the article, "He is also credited with saving the city of Munich from further destruction by this and therefore considered to be the leader of the only successful putsch against Hitler."Nrswanson (talk) 17:15, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The contention that Gerngroß attempted twice to assassinate Hitler cannot be left to a single sentence asserting it - whether cited or not. If this is factually correct, there must be at minimum an entire paragraph elaborating on this subject. "He tried to kill Hitler" is not trivia. Laodah 18:24, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
