This article - and its external links - indicate no connection at all between Denmark and the (Dutch) word "pulsen". If such a connection exists, of course, the deleted links could be readded. And both the remaining external links confirm that "pulsen" means "looting" or "stealing" in general, with no suggestion of a restriction to the meaning "pogrom". - Mustafaa 05:13, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Merge proposal[edit]
The word pulsen was used during the war to refer to looting and stealing [1], but it hasn't been used in that context afterwards (see for instance [2]. Interestingly though, a Google search shows up a lot of American sites where it is assumed the word is common in Dutch. It is not. For those who speak Dutch, [3] (page 198) might be interesting, as it clearly explains how the word was used during the occupation, but not thereafter. Therefore, the only reason why an entry on the moving company of Abraham Puls. Most Dutch language sites, don't even talk of a company, but only of a sole trader called Abraham Puls, who owned a moving truck. In my opinion, this is not enough for a seperate entry.
