"Victors write history." How does this concept apply to World War 2? - world war 2 concept map
Yes, absolutely. The appointment, which is, in general, often wrong, but in this case is entirely correct.
think. that Hitler and Japan won. throughout Europe and East Asia, were taught in school that the right axis, which would actually be when the Jews were inferior, and many details, which was the axis of evil / incompetent been completely stopped. In the United States would probably maintain a fairly neutral opinion of the case have (other than what we have now), but little about the war crimes of the Axis, and Hitler was known to emerge as a nice guy. I would not be surprised if Hitler was finally saint, or at least there together a cult of personality of Lenin and Mao competitors.

It is not, not at all. For example, there are many testimonies of the victims of the Holocaust or the Japanese victims of atomic war, and these accounts have been examined more than accounts of the victors.
"Winners write history" applies only to the old days when, if a nation was conquered, their culture was destroyed and all their documents were destroyed.
"The destruction of all records" would be a simple matter to have been burned a few books, and some monuments destroyed. Today, the destruction of a culture is much more difficult. Therefore, we have many, many accounts of the history of sacrifice.
