To gain historical perspective, the events have to leave the scope of politics. Whatever was written about the war after the war it was important how was it written for their present situation. For example the Soviet Union needed to add the Great Patriotic Wat to the "origin myths" of the Soviet state and the Soviet nation, it was also a legitimization for their politics they pursued and the right of the ideology they followed. Western world did similarly, they used the war in their narratives. Giving different explanations could serve them. No?
