[Split from "Allied units Implicated in War Crimes"]
I am quoting ROB: James Bacque's work on the deliberate starvation of German PWs by Eisenhower - the book Other Losses has been conclusively debunked by historians and academics.
This is news to me. Could you kindly elaborate?
Cheers !

I read many of the posts, but frankly, I haven't read anything that convinces me that Bacque's claims are all wrong....or right. For what I know after decades of reading about WWII, meeting ex-soldiers of both sides, mainly germans, I am inclined to believe that at least some of Bacque's claims hold water.
Cheers !
