When I have read edwest post it had surprised me for a while. In the past there were some guys interested in Roman or Napoleon age wars and also now and it has no matter that one history happend 2000 or 200 years ago. How much did they get back for their searches/hobby (invested time&money) not much I think.
Now we have on the world also so many " heavy idiots" who did almost the same digging out stories of WW II period. Invested time, enery, money for many could not be returned and they do not make it for pure money profits. Of coures some of them do it for money.

The fun of hitorical resarch it is sometimes like hunting, discovering new thing, looking for the true. Second when we are far from the history (events of war, the next generations) we can have better view/prespective to make much more balanced comments about the past events.

This specialy concern the WW II history when some subject (areas) could not be obiecivly presented for many, many years.
From about 20 years ago many historians can make much more obiektive searches, works then before 1989 or 1980.
Shortly after the end of WW II history was mostly a political matter. One could write exactly what he/she had a licence to do. History was a political tools. This was very obvious in occupited by Russian countries or in Soviet Union. Such a things were aslo on the othe side.

Second cruelty done by German, Russian (Gulags, invasion on Poland, Katyn) during WW II period was also so great that still many can not belive that one man (nation) could do so many eveil to other nation according national or class principles. Only after many years this true has surfeaced and it is a common knowledge. Now we can much more openly, with no fear and without strong prediduties talk and discuss wuthe the past enemy (for example Poles with German and Russians).

I only see such danger for the future - digitalisation. This means that in the computer you can create almost all and presents the new "pictures, documnets" of war "Tigers tanks on Moscow streets in 1945" or "B.29 pulveraising Berlin" or "Me 262 versus B.29". But such a thing can happen

Second is a lack of knowledge about WW II and not full presentation of the past. Some historians want to presnets only own vision aditionaly having not even rudimentary background/ "know how" to do it. Now we also can find such a thing. It was a case for example of my claims (war) agains Ch. Bergstrom who had made exacte Auchwitz liees by false presenting fact about this death camp in his book (in fact falsification the past and the true). Such a thing makes only futher falsification the past and they creating wrong opinion and meaning about WW II history.

PS
Without the true about the past (specialy about own) and reespect to the obiective history (not political vison about the past) any nation can makes no progress and achived respect among others.
90 years have passed after Ormian pruges (in 1915) made by Turkey. Surviviors all over the world still rememer this crime of killing about 1.000.000-1.500.000 civils. Probably if people had talked in the Europe in 20-30 ties and sentenced the killers, we did have so many criemes in WW II or later.
Adolf Hitler before invasion on Polad had said, when he was asked by the offciers about cruelty/killing towards civils, "Who just know still remeber and talk about Ormians pruges?"
