Dozens of more examples of this German Military policy can be found in the records.
It is only insulting if you insist that no one else is as brave, courageous and stalwart as Americans. History is full of examples that meet or exceed those qualities from others. How is giving the credit to the facts degrading to the US or the US military?
What is beyond the pale, is promoting an inaccurate picture of history. It is dishonest both intellectually and politically. Why would any American want to promote that?
