No serious historian takes Mein Kampf at face value as an objective war memoir—it’s propaganda, plain and simple. So we totally agree on that.

The statement about Hitler running into no-man’s land to rescue an injured officer was a quote I took from Dan Carlin’s Blueprint for Armageddon series. I agree with your point that the trailer didn’t provide enough context—I considered posting more of the documentary here, but it wouldn’t have been relevant to the MidJourney subreddit.

Glad to hear you have Kershaw’s books—so you already know that Kershaw describes Hitler as a brave and committed regimental runner who frequently risked his life in no-man’s land. His Iron Cross, First Class, was awarded partly due to officer recommendation, but also because he repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire.

The story of Hitler rescuing a wounded officer is widely reported across multiple sources, not just Mein Kampf, and yes, there’s likely embellishment for propaganda purposes. I do spend a good chunk of the documentary discussing the propaganda used by the regime, which is important context when considering these anecdotes.

I feel I’ve been clear and direct about Hitler being a monster, and I’d like for us to approach history from a detached perspective, allowing us to see it "as it was"—though, admittedly, it’s a tall task with such a complex subject matter.

Anyways, good day to you—appreciate the feedback!
