All authors have a national bias. Some more than others.
For my money the worst German author for bias is "Tigers in the Mud" by Otto Carius. Reading his book it's hard to imagine that the Germans could have actually lost the war.
Carell set the standard for many readers with his style. Many others now use that style of going from the trenches to the strategic level but he was one of the first. That and it was from the German point of view.
To my knowledge he only wrote 5 books. Hitler Moves East, Scorched Earth, D-Day:Invasion They're Coming, Foxes of the Desert and Stalingrad.
I have all of them and still refer to them often. The biggest fact that keeps me happy with them is how ofter then are used as references in the hundreds of other books on the subjects.
Good Hunting.
