I see that your knowledge of German archival practice is matched by your
knowledge of how to find scholarly articles. All those I mentioned are
full-text articles by the authors and in the journals cited, not reviews.

They are mere examples of the many such articles which point out the
commonplace fact that there was intentional destruction of some Heer
archives in the closing phases of WW2, which you denied had happened at all
("...no such attempt was made to destroy the Heer or KM documents that had
been archived...").

Anyone happy to pontificate at length in this forum about German archival
sources ought to know this sort of thing already.
