Historians with academic training actually go to great lengths to take bias out of what ultimately ends up as history. It's not a simple case of one version of history vs another. There are things that happen that can be independently verified (especially in modern history). A clip made by some group with an axe to grind should not be given equal validity as proper historical research. They aren't remotely the same thing.
By that thinking, you can never know if anything is true right now unless you are actually witnessing it all first hand. And just because various outlets repeat it don't mean it's true either, regardless of what they try to tell you.
Yep. For myself there are two (well, three really but one of them was a married couple) personal stories that pretty much nailed it home for me.
if nothing else, the German military were very efficient about their record keeping.
That Teutonic thoroughness ended up causing a serious case of the stupids. Kind of the 1940's equivalent of recording your own crime spree and uploading it to the internet.
To go to war is incredibly expensive - and much can be discovered after the event by forensically examining who paid for all the men and machines of war - who loaned the money and why for these wars to actually take place - because nothing could take place without the finance - in reference to the 2 past world wars - and the Russian/Japanese war (amongst many others ) at the turn of the 1900's - who were the main financiers? (on all sides) and what ethnic/religious group did the majority of them eminate from? -
The got it from a combination of economic policies like privatization of state owned businesses, import tariffs and an attempt at achieving economic self-sufficiency as well as deficit financing. They also had some lucrative (for them) bilateral trade agreements with European countries, mostly in the south and south-east of Europe that were reached in the 1930s.
OK - so the Austrian painter didn't receive any loans during the 1930's - from certain banks along Wall St in New York USA?
So what if he did? I'm not saying he did, I'm just saying so what. It's not like most people at the time knew what he was up to at that point. Hell, some US industries were doing business with Germany pretty much right up until December 1941.
It is a great documentary by Tobias Bratt that builds on another documentary called the Greatest Story Never Told. I would describe them as complimentary and worthwhile for anyone looking to gain perspective contrary to the official narrative.Watched all 12 hours plus of this well made documentary a few years back - it might have some answers as to what's going on in Ukraine today - if indeed any of it is true - and that's up to the viewer to decide I suppose - 'Europa the last battle '

Your review is about as biased and full of tropes as one would expect. It is interesting to note how former israeli cabinett member Shulamit Aloni describes this type of critique, that is as a trick.
Perhaps there is more revealed about ancient history than more current. Archaeological research carefully thought out by logical scientists tells us somewhat unbiased truths of past civilizations, life and wars. Two instances which come to my mind of constructed biased history taught in institutions are the false story of the North American indigenous peoples and the bible and creation; religious power involved in both.
It’s not about what you know or think you know name caller. I have never denied the Holocaust against Dresden, Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Have you? I know you deny Nazism in Ukraine for the protection of Nazism in Ukraine, so I wouldn’t be surprised.
