Besøkt 3. mars 2020. «With only three of its nine original armored and motorized divisions remaining, the army group, though joined by the remnants of the shattered 20. Panzer Division transferred from Heeresgruppe Mitte, proved incapable of successfully defending itself against the Soviet Jassy-Kishinev Offensive launched on 20 August. Once the Red Army breeched the Axis frontline, the lack of significantly powerful mobile reserves rendered the Germans almost helpless when highly mobile Soviet tank and mechanized units poured through the resulting gaps. As the Axis position collapsed, Romania switched sides and joined the Allies on 23 August.»
Kwiet, K. (1998). Rehearsing for murder: The beginning of the Final Solution in Lithuania in June 1941. Holocaust and Genocide Studies, 12(1), 3-26. «Lithuanian Jews were among the first victims of the Holocaust and likewise their German executioners among the first perpetrators. Konrad Kwiet thus views Lithuania as an Ideal case study for the organization and implementation of the Final Solution after the onset of Operation Barbarossa. In this broadly conceived artide, he examines both local and German killing initiatives, the chain of command for the Nazis' murderous policies, the role of antisemitic propaganda and the Judeo-Bolshevik myth, and finally the psychological effects on both the Jewish victims and their German killers.»

Besøkt 19. april 2020. «Marshal Ion Antonescu’s Romania was Adolf Hitler’s second-most important Axis ally after Benito Mussolini’s Italy (and one might easily consider Antonescu more formidable and useful from Hitler’s point of view than Mussolini was). Antonescu contributed 585,000 Romanian troops to the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union from June to October 1941.»

I begge referansene (kildene) fra Beevor står det «den store patriotiske krig»/«Den store patriotiske krigen» - ikke fedrelandskrigen. Samtidig er formuleringen «den store fedrelandskrigen» brukt i artikkel om andre verdenskrig i Store norske leksikon (se «Hitler-Tyskland på høyden av sin makt», siste avsnitt), det er derfor rimelig å anta at sistnevnte er mest korrekt.
