Have you found where people have added their own interpretations and colored it a little, to fuse their thoughts with the facts?

As is stated in familiar quote, "History is written by the winners." Everyone sees a historical event in different eyes. What we call World War II, the Russians call the Great Patriotical War. History has always been filtered though the eyes of the historian writing it. This will never change. That is th4e reason why you can get ten books on one event and have ten different explainatiions of the same event. Lord Rutherford is credited with the saying "Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it." We. Are. Doomed.

There's no such thing as an objective "fact", particularly not in history.
