All I can say to OP and the others who are contributing to this post is... Thank you so much guys... A very interesting read to say the least. I had read about some of this, but alot of it was unknown to me until now, thanks to you.

Something very similar happened to me in school when I was about 14 years old. We had to do a project about world War 2. The teachers obviously thought that was a good time to start indoctrinating us with the sad story about the 6 gorrilian. Thing is, it had the opposite effect on me. Much like your accounts of how something just felt wrong, I too had this feeling within me that somehow, what I was reading just didn't add up somehow. I decided there that I would focus on the reich for my project, specifically Hitler. In the end I made a very good presentation with all the "facts" I had gathered about Hitler. I got a very good mark for that project, the teacher was oh so happy about how I had enlightened the rest of my class to "one of the most evil men in history"

Little did he know, that my real history class had only just begun, and I wasn't looking for the hogwash that is the Victor's account on history.
