Historiography for WWI and II?

Hi

I'm having difficulties to find proper information on the historiography or historical interpretations for WWI and WWII. Especially for WWII I have no information on what the different point of views are exactly. Obviously I want to get it right when I sit my exam. :)

So does anyone know a website or something the like?

I would be really grateful!

WWI:

A.J.P Taylor: argued that the Schlieffen plan accelerated the tempo of events and reduced the time available for negotiation

Fritz Fischer: claimed that Germany deliberately planned and provoked war with Russia, Britain and France in order to make Germany the dominant power in the world (economically and politically)

Those two historians are extremely well known and I would suggest looking up more of their interpretations.

I've only done the rise of Hitler in relation to WWII, but if you need anything on that I would suggest the historians Mommsen and Ian Kershaw.

Hope that helps :rofl:
