About Andreas Hillgruber

  • Andreas Fritz Hillgruber (18 January 1925 – 8 May 1989) was a conservative German historian.
  • Hillgruber was influential as a military and diplomatic historian who played a leading role in the Historikerstreit of the 1980s. In his controversial book Zweierlei Untergang, he wrote that historians should "identify" with the Wehrmacht fighting on the Eastern Front and asserted that there was no moral difference between the Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–1950) and Soviet mass rape during the occupation of Germany on the one hand and the Holocaust on the other.
