The reason the history is so biased against the Russians in the US is because it was written by German generals. They ended up doing two things:
1. Absolving themselves of any guilt or mistake. It's all Hitler's fault. :rolleyes:
2. The Russians only won because of luck, winter, and unlimited manpower.
Franz Halder ended up getting the second highest American civilian honor for writing that history. Of course, we asked him to do it because we wanted to learn what they know so we can be better prepared against the USSR. However, we were so naive and just believed him completely. There's been a recent movement among US historians to reexamine that period and a lot of old myths we had about the USSR' role in WWII is being rejected. It's going to take a while for that to trickle out into the public. I just wish more people knew of the immense sacrifices the people of the USSR made during that war.
- atomashpolskiy 6y agoI read (among others) Tippelskirch's History of the WWII, and it's pretty objective. I don't think you can blame Germans for the anti-USSR propaganda, considering that it was the US, who was having their skin in the game (Cold War, started by corrupt politicians, bought by big business and financiers) after the war has ended.
