some WWII thoughts
1) We are told a lot more about WWII partly because that narrative *can* be cleaned up; WWI which was pretty nakedly obviously a stupid mess which never needed to happen.
1a) the same AMERICA FREED THE WORLD types are basically also pro-Nazi, so the biggest mental gymnastics are about whitewashing *both* sides.
2) I notice there's a pretty impressive variety of Wehrmacht self-propelled guns - Nashorn, Marder, Hetzer and more. I know the StuG III was produced as a self-propelled gun as a way of getting around Guderian's control over tanks, and now I wonder if any self propelled gun was basically the same deal.
