This will be the last i have to say on this particular matter....
You seem to intent to build a wall based on obfuscation rather than fact.
Rather odd for a man who claims Academic status as a impenetrable qualifier.
And yes... i will Believe as i choose. Based on a life of well chosen avenues and true academic and scholarly companionship.
Aurthur's 'Claims' [as you say}, were from a continental european who lived and was ruined twice through 2 world wars. First Hand accounts.
Not some link from a guy posting an argument in the year 2015.
The Germans had 2 world wars to cover up any atrocities they commited in ther wakes. The overtook Paris in ww2 and actually ransacked Aurthurs home there. Took EVERYTHING he had too.

The anniversaries of the worst of these catastrophes are upon us; on August 23rd, 1914 — ninety-nine years ago tomorrow — the German army took revenge upon the Belgian city of Dinant for what it falsely believed to be the actions of Belgian francs-tireurs (“free-shooters”, or non-military partisans). This revenge took the form of the burning of over a 1,000 buildings and the execution of some 674 civilians. The oldest among them was in his 90s; the youngest was barely a month old. These civilians were killed in a variety of ways. Some were bayoneted, others burned alive; most were bound, put up against walls, and then executed by a volley of rifle fire — all in reprisal for something that had not actually happened. Two days later (August 25th), the same spirit of reprisal played out again elsewhere — in
