Another New David Glantz 2010 Smolensk

[bwv]

I read several of his books (all published before 2007), none of them ever offered a more detailed and newer "German view" than Paul Carell (A german Ambrose, if you don't know). Is there any improvement in his newer books?

SS Obersturmbannführer Paul Karl Schmidt (aka Paul Carell) was a worthless Nazi propagandist who should have been hung after the war. For example, justified the deportation and murder of Hungarian Jews with this rationale:

The planned undertaking (against the Jews of Budapest) will create significant attention, and lead to a strong reaction because of its scope. Those who are against us will scream and talk of a hunt on humans, and will try to use terror propaganda to increase feelings against us in neutral states. I would therefore like to suggest whether it would not be possible to prevent these things by creating reasons and events justifying the undertaking, e.g. finding explosives in Jewish association buildings and Synagogues, plans for sabotage attacks, for a coup d’etat, attacks on policemen, smuggling of currency in significant amounts to destroy the fabric of the Hungarian economy. The final piece of this should be a particularly heinous case, which can then be used to justify the dragnet.

Glantz is very balanced in the Stalingrad series between the German and Soviet POV. Some of his previous books, by their nature (like Leningrad for example) focused predominantly on the Soviet side
