The latest take is exactly the points you made...plus some camera angle questions that have been answered...but leave each person to make up their own mind. Gusripper said it well. Personally, I would want to believe that we accomplished what we said we accomplished...I choose to believe it...I would only hope that people/governments do not go through such extremes just to support a lie...but it is hard to trust...because of the possibility of conspiracies...!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
