Ok you asked for it, you're gonna get it.

I think the Germans LIED about their losses. I think all the surviving post war German records were doctored to one degree or another, AND they decided to cut their losses by half.

Why, you ask? Simple, the German officer corps wanted to maintain some amount of "face". The only way they could see to do this was by making the allies think that even though they won the war, they paid a heavier price than the losers did.


Why else do you think the Germans limited access to their records after the war? They were afraid that too close a look would show that they were indeed tampered with.

That's theory A.

Prove me wrong.
