no. nothing should be ever free from questioning. else things get distorted or exaggerated over time.

It would have been enough imo if the book just had a forward that noted some of it was conjecture based on whatever info they had. No one can truly know as I imagine there was either no documentation or it got destroyed in whatever allied bombing happened.

also blaming white people for shirking responsibility is a bit rich given that term encompasses a lot of nationalities including the British and Americans who fought against the Germans who were the ones doing the geocoding.
