Talk:Red Cross

Why nothing on the unsavory aspects of Red Cross history, e.g. the visits to Nazi concentration camps in WWII?

I think it's ridiculous that there can be a Red Cross and a Red Crescent, but not a red Star of David. So what if other societies follow suit? Any soldier who is smart enough to fly an airplane must be smart enough to know what the symbol of his enemy is.-Ned. (Sept.)

Move this

"Red Cross" mostly refers to the humanitarian organization. Move this to Red cross/Red Cross (symbol). --Jiang 20:45, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

Translation of the article from the German Wikipedia

Dear Wikipedians, I've prepared a translation of the article about the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement from the German Wikipedia. Compared to the current version of the English article, the German article provides a lot more details and information about the symbol. I kindly ask you to check the translation at

International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement

As I'm not a native speaker of the English language, the translation probably contains some unusual or even obscure wording. You are welcome to edit the translation directly. In addition to that leave a comment, either here, on the discussion page of the translation or on my personal discussion page. Any ideas or comments are highly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to transfer the translated version into the English Wikipedia. Best Regards, Uwe from the German Wikipedia
