Similar to how German sources treat Soviets as targets.

Your credibility here as an enthusiast, let alone a scholar = absolutely zero. You are presenting a fraudulent fascade of specialized professionalism and you are claiming to have studied books that you have not. Awful social skills, too. A lot of puffery, a lot of insecurity, and a lot of nonsense personal attacks with little substance and absolutely no indication of specialized depth of knowledge. Constant misreading of posts and points as to be easily confused as trolling.

On our forums, I have seen dozens of people come and go that have done the same. Real experts and scholars do not do as you done.

go back and read your own spazzy posts, man! Are you proud of them? I would be ashamed if I were you. Or are you going to emote again, claim the victim, and then respond again just satisfy your desire to have the 'last word'? Leave now and don't let the door kick you on the way out!

BS, agitation

I don't think actually you read them- you just hand waved them because you didn't fancy them or their conclusions. They treat German soldiers like targets. There's a lot of bluffing that's been coming from you here. Your claims are bogus to me. There is absolutely no indication from your posts that you are some sort of high level, objective eastern front scholar. You are merely one that is opposed to Russian eastern front history and source your beliefs predominantly from German POVs

I've been involved in historical discussion with some of the highly knowledgable for five years and never have I encountered such an exchange, utilizing such excuses.. as today.

More personal attacks.

Why do you spend dozens of hours reading such terrible, historically worthless books in the first place? See how I'm suspicious of your claims?

Can you identify the titles?

That's better but once again you have not identified any Russian primary or secondary sources that could be useful. Russian sources to me are like Kursk expert Zamulin's 'Demolishing the Myth'.

Doing bottoms up historical research is not the purpose of this thread and anybody here, nor is caring about what General history is approved by the academic elite of some nation.

I do not care about doing research; that is not my business. My business here is learning about the truth of the war rapidly, and I approach this by reading a combination of secondary and primary sources.


I am not a historian, I am a businessman. But I have read a great deal about the war, and more than the professionally trained, who do not usually focus in the same area, due to 10 years of hobby interest. We have an assistant professor on our forum that is clearly formally trained but knows diddly squat about WW2.

I do not reject material because it is 'not academic' enough, and not written by academics for other academics and thus 100% worthless, nor do I consider this approach to be valid.

So a student? You come across as reading the wrong messages from my posts and are purposely hostile without provocation.

I've not attacked you a single time in this conversation outside of implying that you might be like those nationalist guys of our forum who have particular focus. You haven't answered simple direct questions and you provided no Russian sources.

I am not wet behind the ears when interacting with military historians.
