Interview with Fallschirmjäger veteran Lt. Colonel (ret.) Friedrich-Wilhelm Wangerin. Highly decorated, Wangerin won the Knight's Cross, German Cross in Gold and the Honor Roll Clasp. Bonn, Germany, 1989

Friedrich:
"I will ask you to be careful with what you read. The Soviets captured all the stamps, blank documents, and had good knowledge of the language. There is a saying that goes 'The victor writes the history' and it is my thought that the Soviets must be taken with caution. They will use anything in their power to create the vision they want the world to see. They are having trouble keeping up with the west and rumors are they are collapsing due to this pressure. I would be curious to see the archives and what they contain, I imagine the truth is there.

What I experienced does not see eye-to-eye with the propaganda they pushed during and after the war. We were not butchers who randomly went around killing women and babies. Their chief [Ilya Grigoryevich] Ehrenburg wanted that image ingrained on the soldiers, and because of that they committed very bad crimes under the excuse of revenge. I dare say the crimes I witnessed were committed by the Soviets on the populations of Eastern Europe and Germany. I will give you that German forces may have acted in a ruthless manner against partisans and those aiding them or related to them, but not against the civilians."
