Description: I’ve just discovered that Wilhelm Hoffman’s famous “Diary of a German Soldier” written about the battle of Stalingrad which you can find everywhere online can’t have been true. Actually, I would go so far as to say it’s possibly a forgery and totally made up. Let’s find out why. 🔔 Subscribe for more History content: youtube.com/channel/UCfZz8F37oSJ2rtcEJHM2kCg?sub_confirmation=1 ⏲️ Videos EVERY Monday at 5pm GMT (depending on season, check for British Summer Time).

I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do. This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
