Through a network of former high-ranking Wehrmacht and current Bundeswehr officers who had served in Russia, Germans were able to convince Americans that the German army had fought a "clean" war in the East and that atrocities there were committed solely by Nazi organizations. This view fit well with the prevailing anti-Communism of the Cold War and continues to this day in a broad subculture of general readers, German military enthusiasts, wargame aficionados, military paraphernalia collectors, and reenactors who tend to romanticize the German military."--Jacket. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Eastern Front. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Propaganda, German $z United States. 651 0 $a Germany $x Foreign public opinion, American. 650 0 $a Public opinion $z United States. 650 0 $a Myth. 700 1 $a Davies, Edward J., $c II, $d 1947- 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706013441.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8EE1043A694411E381316E7ADAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
