Lack of neutrality and original research[edit]

The content of this article lacks detailed references for its claims. The information is presented in order to persuade the reader that Wachter was not responsible for genocide whereas the evidence for this is non-existent. The author for this article is in large part the son of Wachter (see film: My Nazi father and me), and is biased towards a positive historical account of Wachter. Claims that Wachter attempted to help Jews and prevent the genocide are entirely unsubstantiated. Whereas it is clear from the article that he was approved of by Himmler and Hitler.

Article should be edited to remove claims and implication that Wachter secretly like Jews. There can be a 'historical controversy' section at the end of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.13.233.51 (talk) 10:09, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence for a planned genocide remains indeed nonexistent, despite seventy years of make belief. 105.8.0.175 (talk) 17:23, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The son of Waechter is a fantasist who thinks he is a Jew but loves being feted by Ukrainian neo-nazis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.30.152.96 (talk) 08:39, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

After swimming in the Tibor, Wachter allegedly contracted jaundice. Jaundice is a symptom, not a disease in itself. He exhibited the symptoms (jaundice) most likely due to liver disease.2001:558:6043:7:5C4E:985A:CE37:20F3 (talk) 18:47, 9 February 2017 (UTC)vlenne[reply]

In the beginning, it says he died of likely a kidney disease. However, as this last person points out, jaundice is a symptom of likely liver disease. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scutti20 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
