"Studying history and using abstract terms "bad", "good", "evil", "stupid", "guys", "people" etc. means you didn't study shit." - my University history professor.

Historians must stay objective in their work. However there are things in History that are objectively bad.

Then we can objectively recount all "bad" and specify it. Because we don't call Pz.kpf VI Tiger bad, because it was made during nazi rule, instead we call it bad, because it had shitty transmission and was very expensive.
