... by Swiss Army officer Lt. Colonel (Ret.) Ralph Bosshard about rewriting of the history of the WW II by the West. It is in Russian, but it is worth reading.
Translation: Recently, in Switzerland, I took part in a discussion event dedicated to the Second World War, at which a Belarusian colleague gave an introductory speech. It was interesting to watch the reaction of the approximately 60-80 journalists, historians and teachers present: information about the suffering of Belarusians in 1941-1945 was new to them. They knew neither about the tragedies of Ozarichi and Khatyn, nor about Operation Bagration. They hardly knew about the countless crimes committed by the German Wehrmacht - not just the SS and the Gestapo. The reason for this is clear to me as a military historian: after 1945, the US Army Military Historical Service hired a large number of German generals to write the history of the war that had just ended. And the gentlemen took the opportunity to embellish their role, invent a fairy tale that the German Wehrmacht always fought honestly, and explain why they - in fact, supposedly superior soldiers - were nevertheless defeated by the Red Army. Many of them remained true to their National Socialist beliefs and still considered the soldiers and officers of the Red Army to be “subhuman.” Their self-justification shaped the historiography of German-speaking countries for decades. And today this spirit once again defines reporting on the Russian army and the war in Donbass.
Read the whole thing (use Google Translate)--it explains HOW the so called "military history" in the US has been rewritten and what is taught, with some minor tweaking, in West's military academies. Then, do not be surprised with Pentagon's "planning" which delivered in 404 one disaster after another for VSU and an army of its "supporters" from primarily NATO countries. You recall, I hope, a review to my first book, which is largely dedicated to WW II, left by US officer about lies about WW II permeating West's historiography. So, follow the link and read.
