Ever try to read Soviet era history? Hard to tell which self serving memoir has a grain of truth in it.
Glad there are professional historians trying to sort it out.

I could say much the same thing about some post war German sources. For example Hubert Meyer's 12th SS divisional history has no mention at all of the murder of Canadian POWs during the Normandy campaign. The original hardcover version of Michael Wittmann...of the Leibstandarte by Patrick Agte read like an SS propaganda leaflet. I don't know if the Stackpole version was cleaned up (better edited) but the original was almost nauseating in it's worship of Wittmann & company.
