I guess that gives valuable perspective on how reliable the ww2 accounts are. I think any account of military events that doesn’t honestly recount the actual confusion on the ground is rather suspect. One would hope that higher levels of command always think of how uncertain all information they get from lower levels is, but reading accounts of events written in this dead certain and authorative voice is a bit worrying. Only the number of enemy casualities hints at the uncertain state of basically all combat accounts.
