reception
His portrayal of the relationship between the Wehrmacht and the traditional legacy of the Bundeswehr was partially criticized. The Wehrmacht characterizes Range “despite some involvement in war crimes, nevertheless [as] a conveyer of values, virtues and professional characteristics from 300 years of military history to the Bundeswehr”.
Rainer Blasius ruled in the FAZ that Range had served in the war in his book . The generals and admirals of the Bundeswehr have put together a lot of interesting biographical details, but tend to be transfigured and often indulge in "the romanticism of the ' Landser ' magazines".
