The biography section is very sparse in citation. Every sentence containing a date or number needs a citation. done
The listing of the Iron Cross as an award needs a citation. done
It is broad in its coverage:
Not Yet
His early life needs more extensive coverage. There is one sentence covering his birth and the next when he is 18. Where did he go to school? Where did his family live? Was he involved in any organizations? I know these things don't seem relavent compared to his military career, but it is essential that all of his life recieve coverage. done
The details of his kills need more detail. Which battles did he participate in? Which areas was he operating out of? mentioning the kill number at certain dates does not give enough detail, in my opinion. done at least this is all the info I have
His personal life is also important. Was he married? Did he have children? This kind of detail is essential for an article to be broad enough to be a GA. done
It is illustrated by
images, where possible and appropriate:
Pass No problems there.
Overall:
On Hold The article needs a good deal more detail and citation. But I believe that, with these, it can eventually become a GA. -

Very good, the article now meets the GA criteria, according to my interpretation of them. Well done! —

Restoration of pre-existing condition of article
I have restored this article to its pre-existing condition because it was an Milhist A-Class article, and if an editor has significant issues with it, it should be subjected to a Milhist A-Class re-assessment, not subjected to a death by a thousand cuts, which is what is happening now. Cheers,

Dapi89: re:
this revert, the article now contains multiple citations to Helden der Wehrmacht – Unsterbliche deutsche Soldaten ["Heroes of the Wehrmacht – Immortal German soldiers"]. That it's a neo-Nazi publication is not an opinion; it's mentioned in
Antisemitism Worldwide, 2000/1 as being offered alongside such book as "KZ-Lies" and "The Wehrmacht as Liberator". In addition, this book was classified as an extremist publication by Claudia Fröhlich and Horst-Alfred Heinrich.[1]
