Comments by "Quizmaster China" (@QuizmasterLaw) on "Wilhelm Hoffman’s Stalingrad diary is a FAKE" video.
90% of German soldiers at Stalingrad never returned to Germany so there's a good argument that whoever came back lied because if you think Stalin / USSR just let anyone go back to Germany, nyet.

Ok Where is the original text. I suspect there's a mistranslation of 267 and 276. Not transferred but translated. Just put a URL or source text I doubt some nobody has a big motivation to lie. i don't doubt mistranslations happen.

@TheImperatorKnight I meant the text in German, maybe you have a link to the German text up there, if so I haven't seen it. It's ok with me if you say its a fraud, just the fact that the author "disappeared" and "made in USSR" is enoug to establish that it's unreliable. You list out other facts, but you do say one of the regiments was at factory which in fact it did not take, consistent with the pseudo book's claims. I like to nail the vampire repeatedly, After choppng off the head AND stuffiing its heart cavity with garlic.

I think TIK's German is good enough to know that Zwei Hundert SIEBEN und sechszig* is that way (lit. two hundred seven sixty) so yeah 267 276 I can expect some confusion I have as a translator of German into English more than once seen people make errors on this exact point (that german counts digits before tens unlike english or french). Surprisingly i"ve never encountered any four twenty ten nine errors from french (yep instead of something sensible like 80 9 frenchy says four twentyten nine for the number 89) I Suck at math but am Really Good at languages. See why? 皇帝万岁万万岁! oh i've got at least Ten Thousand things to tell you about the swastika yes I do...

a good way to detect fakes is to notice that when you are an actual soldier you have a worms eye view. any type of strategic vision or even tactical awareness beyond one's immediate environment is entirely lacking. so if an account of a purported soldier starts bringing up omniscient things that's evidence of a faker.

"tarnished with myths and lies" Welcome to the Soviet Union! I see you can no longer be a useful idiot.
