A question to the group.
Is the History channel distorting the facts?

The Hitler Channel does little except distort the facts.

I have noticed in recent weeks a number of totally incorrect comments .eg
Americans landing in Rabaul during WW2,(its Rab owl by the way not Rab all)

The Japanese landed in 1942, and stomped all over the Australian defenders.
No yanks anywhere near.

The shooting down of Yamamoto's aircraft was an assassination..

Yep.

B17's being used during the day in Europe as they were precision bombers
not carpet bombers as the RAF were ?

A B-17 carried the same bomb load as a Mosquito... and was far less accurate.
See further Operation Jericho. Compare and contrast to, well, any B-17 raid
ever made.


They are a few of very many I can recall.

I watch the Hitler Channel strictly for amusement.
