From the 1950s onward, Americans were quite receptive to a view of
World War II similar to the view held by many Germans and military
personnel on how the war was fought on the Eastern Front in Russia.
Through a network of formerly high-ranking Wehrmacht and Bundeswehr
officers who had served on the Eastern Front, Germans were able to
shape American opinions into an interpretation of World War II that
left the Wehrmacht with a 'clean' reputation in World War II
history. A positive view of German military conduct, opposed
against a newly dismissive view of the Russian military in light of
Cold War prejudices, was absorbed by many Americans during the
1950s, and continues to this day in a broad subculture of general
readers, German military enthusiasts, war game aficionados,
military paraphernalia collectors, and re-enactors who tend to
romanticize the German army and its history.
