Re: What's the future of WW2 historical writing?
World War II historical writing will continue as long as there are competent people willing to do the work. Based on what I've read, there seems to be no great financial incentive. Russian archives may help. And there are still classified documents that will not be released for a while.
The passing of the veterans will mean relying on official records, pilot log books, which are still turning up, photos and other contemporary bits of evidence. It is like detective work or solving a puzzle. All that is needed is a willingness to do so. Ed
