The Myth of German Villainy

This book is about the mischaracterization of Germany as history's ultimate “villain.” The “official” story of Western Civilization in the twentieth century casts Germany as the disturber of the peace in Europe, and the cause of both World War I and World War Ii, though the facts don't bear that out. During both wars, fantastic atrocity stories were invented by Allied propaganda to create hatred of the German people for the purpose of bringing public opinion around to support the wars. The “Holocaust” propaganda which emerged after World War Ii further solidified this image of Germany as history's ultimate villain. But how true is this “official” story? Was Germany really history's ultimate villain?
