Otto Busse (resistance fighter)[edit]

  • ... that Otto Busse provided the partisans of Białystok with weapons, clothing and medicines at his own expense?

Created by HerkusMonte (talk). Self nominated at 14:08, 17 January 2014 (UTC).

  • Date, size, refs are fine. Issues: 1) One para missing citation. 2) The final sentence is confusing: he returned to Germany - but nothing in the prior sentences suggest he left again (he is already said to have returned from the Soviet camp few sentences prior). 3) Can we get the name of the camp he was held in (not required for DYK? 4) He aided what partisans? Polish? Jewish? It would be nice to clarify this (and link the relevant resistance movement(s)). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:01, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
Pretty much of the article is based on the Yad Vashem biography, I have added the missing ref. As mentioned Busse moved to Nes Ammim in Israel sometimes after 1958 and lived there until 1978. The name of the camp? The sources I found do not mention it, just an ordinary POW camp. He aided Haika Grossman, she was Jewish, so he probably aided Jewish partisans, but the sources are rather vague. Grossman's biography might go into detail but I don't have access.
