Default RE: Reading Material

The phrase should be "in other words", not another word, though that is no doubt what you mean. Hey rivecounter, go read that web site (if you can) and what the General is saying is that in the academic military arena, even the US Army does not edit out and DOES allow for the offensive and murderess expressions and beliefs of the WWII German enemy to be read and heard. That openess would never have happened in your fantasy kraut fatherland of the 1940's. LOL. Again, when you go to college and graduate, someday, you will learn that writing history is an interpretive event and takes many sources to capture the facts and slant is a given. Also read this book for a perspective and interesting SLANT from the German side: Tigers in the Mud: The Combat Career of German Panzer Commander, Otto Carius (Author), Robert Edwards (Translator).
