I'm surprised that, while talking about how much punishment the B-17

A B-17?

That's his point. The history channel is run by people who don't give
an iota about accuracy. The voice-over will be about one thing, and the
visual will be whatever they could find on file. It would be no stretch
at all for them to talk about a B-17 while showing a picture of a
fighter crashing on a flight deck. (A very impressive crash it was, too.)




they always show germans advancing across the russian steppes in high
summer while talking about the ardennes.
