The Soviets did not have German true losses, Nipe had access or maybe the Russian and American authors wanted to ignore .......... Caidins bogus work on the subject "The Tigers are burning" comes to mind.

Great books ....some and yes you can discredit anything if it is all turley one-sde and the authro(s) have not done extensive homework on the subject. We, yes we have taken so much of what we have read as the truth and without question. I have found this since the 1960's especially true of the night air war and the electronics and craft over the Reich until I started interviewing veterans of both sides and looking into captured documentation~ after war reports, that were deemed de-classified. I think the latter is often forgotten and to be of great useage to authors

Stadler one and the same since at the time of Kursk he was in an administrative postion with maps and docs well in his hands
