Generals Balck And Von Mellenthin Discuss The Eastern Front And The War Generally

Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti. And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.


These guys really look down on Russians and really want to explain away the fact that The Red Army destroyed The Wehrmacht. Indian (US American) learning about WWII in West Eurasia (Paris to Stalingrad) derives — until the late 1990s — from the losers’ version (Germans), not the winners’ version (Russians). This proves once more that ideologues as well as winners get to write history. Yet, for its value as primary source material, this is worth attention:

For comparison and cleaning, which are in fact required by the standards of student integrity, here is an Indian (US American) treatment of the subject, improved by absence of sententious sanctimony and ideological bumptiousness towards Russia and Russians:

Speaking of Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein:




Principle I

The United States have no authority in the domestic affairs of other countries and expect other countries to reciprocate by not feigning authority in our domestic affairs. The United States have interest in the lines of communication running between The United States and all other countries and expect all other countries to bear fairly the burden of keeping those lines open, safe, reliable, fair, and clean.

Principle II

The United States welcome partnership with our brother nations India and Russia for promulgation, from their perspectives, of the ground of statecraft set forth in Principle I and urge Japan and Egypt to join us for that endeavor and commitment.

Principle III

An order to deploy which lacks or frustrates intent to compel a target to sign a declaration of unconditional surrender is an unlawful order by the Rules of Just War, the Conventions of War, Common Sense, and the Spirit of America. An order to deploy conveys this intent to the Commanding Officer: win this war / battle in a timely manner at the lowest possible cost to yourself and your enemy or do not come back alive.
