Hi to make it short, winners write the history books, thats a fact not always good, but not allways bad.
In case of Wehrmacht it is fair not allowing the germans to find _any_ proud in it, leaving scorched earth when facing defeat is considerd to be evil (there is no ground for the legend of the german "Lanzer", with a gun in the back the russians fought even harder).
allthough the red army was shurly not much "better" they did "only" react in anger, whilst the wehrmacht acted first, without a reason, but the believ that people east of the river oder where not considered humans but a sub class of humans. the differences between ss and wehmacht where gradualy not substancial, ss just started earlier and worked harder, the got the same orders and did, like wehrmacht, not oppose their orders.
so if anyone would call me himmler i would turn away, since i would not be able to find a person in history to realy top this level of evilness found in himmler. even hitler, bin ladin, milosivitch or stalin don't top himmler realy much.

b.t.w. i'm german, made my qualification for university with an essay about the imminent guilt of the german's for the ns crimes, reflecting about Goldsteins book, accusing germans to be guilty by culture/birth.
