How do we know what is fact and truth in History? Is it not written by the Winners and the elites?

Linked below is a short world was II documentary that challenges main stream ideas about what happened during that time.

World War II: The Last Frontier (2017)

A 2017 documentary about the World War II Space Race between the United Stated, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War.

What is truth? Is this any better then the "Official Story"?

I don't think it challenges anyone's understanding of the period: it is frankly quite ridiculous. I guess it could be seen as a semi-interesting fictional alternate history, if you're into that sort of thing, but it's more science fiction time travel nonsense than anything deeply researched that would challenge contemporary understanding. The thing about history and historiography is that there are years and years of research, multiple primary, secondary and tertiary sources and people aren't just going to swallow shit just because it's funnelled into their mouths.

Giant monkey man thank you for taking the time to watch the film I have recently put together and respond with your comment it means a lot. I will not lie on some parts of the movie that I had to speculate on a few parts I spiced up for a more entertaining viewing experience. However, having said that I do believe that it is as accurate of an understanding of what happened all those years ago as any contemporary documentary on that period of time. All documentaries are imperfect this is just the same history through a different lens if you will.
