I think there are a few million buried across Europe who might have time to consider it and give a perspective.

I note you have dropped the word "living" when you describe historians at this patriotic time when bleeding hearts give your views lip service.

How can a historian be wrong? Good question. How can a journalist be wrong? Good question. How can a politician be wrong? Good question. How can a dead soldier be wrong? He can't, he can just be dead.
