Re: Zaitsev's accounting. (Long)
Marvin,
That's what I've wondered and several reviews of the movie have questioned, is whether the Communists made this up for propaganda value. After all, they were as big a liars as the Nazis. In the only incident I know of that Dr. Goebbels may have told the truth, was about the massacre of Polish Army officers in the Katyn forest. The Soviets blamed the Nazis and the Nazis blamed the Soviets. Research after the war indicated it was the Soviets who committed the murders.
