Your “slam” against S.L.A. Marshall has nothing to do with the widely accepted facts he presented re the origins of WWI.
Perhaps you can dredge up a cite that shows Fritz Fischer had unpaid parking tickets. Or revisit your obsession with discrediting Barbara Tuchman.
Declaring that preparations to meet aggression are the equivalent of declaring war and invading one’s neighbors, is as ludicrous as your previous claim that post-WWI German reparations were unjust because the Germans only occupied a little bitty-teeny weeny part of French territory, so no big deal.
Does it bother you even slightly that this minority revisionist blame-the-Allies-for-WWI nonsense has been eagerly taken up by pro-German/neo-Nazi apologists (following in the footsteps of their beloved one-time leader)? The far-right has sought to sow confusion and discord even about memorializing victims of WWI, as in 2018 when French and German leaders commemorated the Armistice.
"This show of unity turned somber the next day as Macron addressed world leaders gathered at the Arc de Triomphe, in Paris. Alluding to the global rise of nationalism, he warned that “the old demons are reappearing, ready to do their work of spreading chaos and death. … At times, history threatens to resume its tragic course and jeopardize the peace we’ve inherited and which we thought we had secured for good with the blood of our ancestors.”
“That day, Reuters would report that Alexander Gauland, co-leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), had criticized Merkel for participating in the armistice commemorations. The AfD, which entered the German parliament for the first time in 2017 on a platform of protecting the country against the perceived threat to German culture posed by Muslim and African immigrants, has called on Germans to rewrite the country’s history books to focus more attention on domestic war victims.”
"And yet here was Gauland accusing Merkel of attempting to rewrite history by appearing among the war’s “winners.” Germans, he said, “can’t put ourselves in a historical situation that clearly favors the winner and walk alongside Mr. Macron through the Arc de Triomphe.”
