I've read the works by Tedor and Suvorov.
Tedor provides an exhaustive case, utilizing German documents, to paint the Third Reich as the good guy. He doesn't address the "Holocaust" at all, which I think he should have. His audience seems to be a person who has no prior opinion of Hitler or the Third Reich and for him this is their first exposure to it all. It seems like it would be a textbook at times.
I found it to be very compelling, but when I cite Tedor in arguments, people don't seem to take me or him seriously.
At the end, I'm not sure what to believe. I can't refute Tedor and somehow it seems his take on things is true. Read it and you will certainly be rewarded.
I have encountered relatively the same reaction when I cite Suvorov. Suvorov argues that the "Uncle Joe" idea is a complete myth: Stalin was, in essence, a ruthless military mastermind who planned a war of mobilization. The amount of military resources he had at his command was overwhelmingly more than we have estimated, and he had the capability to launch a devastating invasion of Europe that Europe surely wouldn't have been able to defend against. Hitler strike at just the right time and had no other choice.
Suvorov takes a lot of heat. But I agree with the substance of what he is saying. I definitely believe that Hitler invaded at just the right time and that there is much more to Stalin than commonly thought. I think Suvorov might be overstating the military capabilities of the Soviet Union at the time, especially with regard to how powerful their tanks were, but I do agree with the heart of his message.
