Stetson Conn, who served as Chief Historian, General Editor of the United States Army for its official history of World War II, wrote:
"The historical office had been peculiarly fortunate in 1944 in acquiring the services of Mr. Wsevolod Aglaimoff, a professional soldier of the Czar who had escaped from Russia after the Revolution. Before and after his employment by the American embassy in Paris he absorbed a massive knowledge of European military terrain. His skill in mapping was matched by a meticulous attention to checking details. This checking extended to an independent review of the sources of an author's work whenever he deemed it necessary. The result was not only maps of the highest quality but both maps and texts of the highest attainable degree of factual accuracy."
