From what I can discern, according to you the Germans were all self-serving liars and any Russian declassified document is gospel.... blah, blah, blah.

Please tell me where I have said that they were liars -self -serving well in some situations yes that was the case. I never said that the Russian historians were any better by the way. Have a look back at the thread - I'm not pushing the Soviet side at the expense of the Germans, merely commenting that for 50 years the west has had to rely on German testimonies only and if you only read one side then you can only see half the picture.
