| | Excerpt from "The Complete Blood Type Diet Encyclopedia" |
| | This is most clearly seen in the easternmost Western Europeans, the Germans and Austrians, who have an unexpectedly high incidence of blood group B blood compared to their western neighbors. | | | Cattle, abundant on the European plains, and fresh water fish seem to have been the staples of their early existence, as evidenced by the extraordinary renderings of the famous cave paintings found in the Basque country. | | | Blood group AB is rarely found in European graves prior to 900 A.D. Studies of prehistoric grave exhumations in Hungary indicate a distinct lack of this blood group into the Langobard age (fifth to seventh century A.D.). |

| | Talk:List of French people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | I started the division because it had been done that way on the List of famous Germans. | | | It might be good to put a note on the page along the lines of "People famous for their work in more than one category are listed in all of them", so that people who might work on the page later know it's OK to have a person on the page twice. | | | Also, I think that generally speaking a list of famous French novelists will be of more interest than a list of famous French people born in any one particular decade. |

| | Great Germans Conference: Standards-Based Thematic Unit |
| | : Thank you to Amy Peterschmidt of Virginia who provided the original basic idea for a conference on "Great Germans." She has had a similar conference involving other famous Germans categorized by different time periods. | | | The goal is to give teachers an idea of what can be done, as well as be a resource on "great Germans," some of whom may not necessarily be known to many Americans. | | | This list certainly could be modified and added to, as there are many more, perhaps more commonly known Germans from whom to choose. |

| | The primary intention of these camps was the extermination of the Jews from all the countries occupied by the Germans, except the Soviet Union (Soviet Jews were generally killed on the spot). | | | Many of the 400,000 Polish prisoners of war captured by Germans during the 1939 invasion of Poland were also confined in these camps, although many of them were also sent as forced labourers in Germany. | | | The Germans established several camps for prisoners of war (POWs) from the western Allied countries in territory which before 1939 had been part of Poland. |
