I have seen and read histories of borh world wars written by 
Germans. One of thrm disputed Churchhill's "myth" of "the genius 
Rommel," which the author claimed was cooked up to cover up British 
incompetence. That the British were incompetent (not to mention 
cynical, venal, etc.) is fairly well established. Victory did not 
empower them to cover that up. Nor did victory cover up the fact 
that Curtis LeMay was a war criminal who died unpunished. People who 
claim world war II never happened, though, seem less than credible 
IMHO.
