One editor seems to want to use the opinion of two historians to attack Constable's book on Erich Hartmann. Their main bone of contention seems to be that he used "Knight" and "Blonde" in the title. Of course, Hartmann was blonde. He was also the winner of the "Knight's Cross". But he didn't fly in a unit called "Ju 52". Are they referring to the transport Junkers Ju 52? If they can't get that right, why should we be interested in what they have to say? Finally, they accuse the Constable book of "romanticising" the "German Army". The book is not about the German Army. In fact, it isn't discussed at all. It begs the question: have these 'historians' read the book at all? Dapi89 (talk) 20:54, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I restored cited content: diff. The "character assassination" comment is a personal opinion; if the editor does not believe the sources to be suitable, please discuss at WP:RSN. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:25, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In 1991 Constable had been invited by the Institute for Historical Review to speak at one of their conferences. He attended and afterwards wrote a letter which was published as "Authentic Heroes", Journal of Historical Review, V.13, No.3, May-June 1993, p.46-47. He wrote: "No hero that I ever wrote about in any of my flying books ranks higher in the pantheon than the heroes of revisionist historical research." By that he referred to Jerry Brentar, Fred Leuchter, Robert
Faurisson, David Irving and others. He later also published three articles in the JHR. Might be worth mentioning, because it sheds some light on the outlook of his military history publications, but I shy away from quoting the JHR, let alone linking to their website. The fact as such should not be in dispute.--Assayer (talk) 17:59, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
