FB, Revisionism seems more concerned with postulating 'what ifs' rather than it "corrects understanding of previous events". Not content that we won the Battle and then the War, we have to be constantly bombarded with theories that begin with "even if..." or "if only we'd...". Well we didn't, we did what we did and we won. They lost thank God, and no thanks to the armchair warriors that seem to think WWII was a computer game where just points are scored or lost. It was lives that were lost, many millions, and if there is one lesson to learn from it all it is that you should always carry a big stick. A lesson clearly forgotten by today's leaders...
