Chiming in here, only to spur additional discussion. Background: not a denialer, only a long time player of many East Front / Barbarossa type games (currently mostly focused on TOAWIV scenes of that type) In grad school, I took a course title "Literature of the Holocaust" 4059 (taught by a survivor) A haunting class, that was 20+ years ago, BUT ... it is a somewhat troublesome aspect to find now, in ALL scenes that I have seen (re East Front) an almost "void" w/re/to Einsatz. There are some games / scenes that take this into account, but mostly, I have found just that "void" w/re/to to German Einsatz. There are a few scenes that do, but over all, it is an area that seems to be verboten. Don't get me wrong, but deep down, I have lately gotten the feel that, w/o at least a heads up to what really happened, many of the these scenes don't take into account the actual historical record. Sometimes I wonder, if the Germans / Axis did not do what they did, that they might have won in the end. Something to think about. I haven't seen any studies along that line, if you know of any, would appreciate the links or the references. Have a great day!
