Karl Kautsky in his Communism in Central Europe at the Time of the Reformation, notes that this picture of Anabaptist Münster is based almost entirely on accounts written by the Anabaptists' enemies, who sought to justify their bloody reconquest of the city.
Den marxistiske teoretikern Karl Kautsky noterade i boken Communism in Central Europe at the Time of the Reformation att denna bild av anabaptismens Münster nästan helt baseras på källor som skrivits av motståndare till anabaptismen, som försökte rättfärdiga deras blodiga erövring av staden.
