Cуществует много источников. Хотел бы обратить внимание на тот, что собрал обычный библиотекарь, который в отличии от многих такого рода "источников" с самого начала ясно все про себя и свое отношение к источникам обозначает:
Q: Who are you, and why should we trust the accuracy of your information?
The Short A: No one in particular, and never trust any information without double checking.
The Long A: My academic credentials are pretty slim -- a couple of years of college and that's about it. I'm not a university professor or anything like that, and I currently earn my living as a librarian.
On the other hand, most of the information here is public knowledge, and you can easily confirm most of my facts with a minimum of research.
Also, frankly, very little history is undisputed fact anyway. Most history is debatable interpretation of fact. On these pages, I'm offering you my interpretations, but obviously you should study other interpretations before you make up your own mind.
Basically, I'm not out to convince you of anything, so you don't have to believe me if you don't want to. I created this page for my own benifit. Maintaining an online atlas gives my research structure and direction. It brings up questions that I can then seek answers to, and let's face it, questions are always better than answers. I would hope that you come away from this site with fascinating questions rather than smug answers. It's the only way to learn
Ниже приводится фрагмент из страницы, посвященной военной части потерь сторон WW2. В очередной раз, кому интересно, можно сопоставить реальный вклад в разгром Германии и ее союзников в ходе WW2, соответственно, со стороны "Восточного фронта" и всех остальных того времени театров военных действий.
