Memoirs vs. Diaries - Dr. Roman Töppel on Sources

In this video Dr. Roman Töppel and I talk about the difference between Memoirs and Diaries as a source, there various benefits, drawbacks and pitfalls of these kind of sources. Dr. Töppel gives specific examples from his experience with working on Manstein's diaries and memoirs. Additionally, we also talk about how to verify and double-check claims, we also look at some specific instance like Heinz Guderian, which we both took a look at in the past. We also cover memory errors and other related topics. 00:21 – Guderian: Myth & Reality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTgf3UHMBjY 00:31 – Guderian und die deutsche Panzerwaffe - Dr. Roman Töppel (de): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZlQyA2ujS0 09:55 – Generals Blaming Hitler for their faults? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FoiU_jkL0Q »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » Patreon Perks » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Töppel, Roman: Kursk 1943.
