Gerlach
Gerlach proved that plotters like Tresckow or Gersdorff were aware of mass murder happening in the East from at least 1941. He writes: "Especially with reference to the murder of the Jews, [it is said that] 'the SS' had deceived the officers by killing in secret, filing incomplete reports or none at all; if general staff offices protested, the SS threatened them." Gerlach concludes: "This is, of course, nonsense."
I'm not quite sure how you say this on Wikipedia, but how did he prove that? I don't know who Gerlach is, but if he wrote that without explaining how he arrived at that point of view, I'm not sure it's a good idea to have it in the article, even if he is a historian and I suspect he's right - but that has yet to be established by someone who owns that book, because as far as I can tell, it can't be found on the internet to verify.
