I disagree. Here in the United States we were taught in school that Americans saved the day with the D-Day landings and we liberated Europe. That's very cute. You can argue the US saved England and liberated France but... Russia not only suffered more than any other country, but they also won what we call WWII.
I went to France as a teenager in the 1980s and was blown away by what I saw in Normandy. I came home and dove right into books, starting with Mein Kampf.
While some writers might have a slant or even an agenda, after so much time this is less so... And you compare it other books and what was written.
My favorite book is Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer.
