The thing I'm most flabbergasted about is the fact that nobody really bothered to write/dispute anything about the overhyped battle, and most particularly the Germans in this case. One would think people like von Manstein would have found the opportunity to write about yet another phyrric victory too good to be true. Very odd indeed.
