While Shirer may not have the necessary credential for your historian, he was a contemporary reporter and journalist and my recollection of his view is not very different from this characterization.

CB: Above is what Max said. I said:
I don't know where I heard it, but I heard that the Red Army inflicted 95% of the casualties on the Nazis' Army. Aptheker was probably aware of that fact.
So I agree with Shirer, if I understand that Shirer says Normandy was a small front in the war.
