Hitler

His name was Adolf and he was born in Germany in 1934. Was he named after you-know-who?

Wealth / loss

The first line states he was one of the richest people in Germany, but the infobox states his wealth as minus US$9.2 billion. Is there a mistake in the article, or did he used to be a multimillionaire, but lost all of his, and $billions of other peoples, money? If the loss wealth figure is true, how was he able and allowed to lose so much money? Were people around him aware he lost so much money? F W Nietzsche (talk) 16:36, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

German article

There is a longer article on Merckle on German Misplaced Pages. Could someone who is fluent in German and English translate some of it to this article - he sounds notable enough to have a longer article than this one. F W Nietzsche (talk) 16:40, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
