  1. More like everyone writes their own history unless forced otherwise. Japan wrote it's own history and yet lost the war. Many German historians and memoirs are littered with intentional distortions of WWII from the German perspective in spite people claiming "Germans have owned up to their actions in WWII" but in reality they have not in most respects and just pinned it all on the Nazis and SS ignoring it was literally a generational thing. That was the "German Perspective" for roughly 50-60 years. The most brutal German general in WWII was a member of the Heer for example, not the SS. There is no greater example in US history than the Lost Cause Narrative revolving around the American Civil War. It dominated American Civil War studies throughout the first 3/4s of the 20th Century and Americans are still dealing with it in the 2020s as many have grown up with that false narrative and defend it as if their life depends on it.

  2. I think it's better to say the German Russo-Polish War than the German-Polish War.

  3. 4:03 Grins "...two Seemingly Opposing Ideologies...." I have a feeling a few might get triggered by that statement, and I find that excellent. xD

  4.  @jacekszkutnik6294  To be brutally honest, Slovakia technically fits into the same category as the Protectorate of Bohemia. Basically Slovakia in 1939 is in the same position Belarus was in 2022, functionally a puppet of another power.
