It's time they start embracing their history.

That's the entire reason there was a hard campaign to demoralize and shame them into submission following both world wars.

Indeed. Been the problem since at least 1870, to some extent even before then: what to do w/ the Germans. Two world wars, Cold War (Germans down), even re-unification in 1990, when the coast should be clear, West Germany’s allies (let alone Russia) fretted about threat of that.

I am very interesting in learning about WWI from a German perspective. Other than material about Dolchstoßlegende and what followed is hard to find good sources. Any recommendations?

Been making my way through the Great War podcast by Daniel Clarke. Also reading MacMillan’s The War That Ended Peace which more about the lead up to the war.

I actually don’t have anything to recommend from an explicitly German perspective unfortunately. Let you know if/when I do tho.
-
Well you know victors always write the history books. But surely in the antebellum Hitler’s Germany some material might been produced. Even during the Weimar years. Good luck finding it translated though.
-
Indeed. I can read German (and French) decently but not enough to really get their perspective in books/memoirs from that far back. Not up to the task.
