(And I have found the author, Mr Askey, to be responsive when I have asked for clarification or correction of typos).

Why would you think that?

The website and the books are written completely neutral, without narratives and very dense on numbers and facts.

The author does express some points of view on the website which I would not necessarily agree with (See WW11 Myths section) but the book, Volume 111A, (700 pages!!!!!) is excellent. There is no commentary or propaganda - it is full of weapons descriptions, production history, TOEs etc etc - a great resource for our game, and I come away with the strong impression that the Soviet OOB in WiTE is incomplete.
