Spiegel interview as well? -sh]
THE exhibition on crimes of the Wehrmacht
encounters growing scholarly criticism. Below, list
members will find an interview with the German
military historian Rolf-Dieter Mueller that
appeared in the June 7 edition of
"Der Spiegel."
In addition, the June 14 edition of the "Berliner
Morgenpost" featured an
interview with the Hungarian military historian
Krisztian Ungvary, titled "90 Prozent der
Wehrmachtsausstellung verändern".
According to Ungvary's research, only 10 percent of
the photographs show Wehrmacht crimes, another 10
percent atrocities perpetrated by Finns, Hungarians,
Ukrainians, and the NKVD, while in 80 percent of the
photographs no crimes are visible.
