Haken,

I'd like to echo Johannes and Ron's comments.

The History Channel's primary purpose is entertainment. It should never be used as a primary source of information.

This site is based on the most accurate information currently available. It was created and is maintained by people who do so because they want to, not because it's just their job.

Is it 100% accurate? Probably not, but it's as close as anyone's come. The circumstances of many of these attacks are inherently ambiguous due to the theater and method of operations. The proverbial 'fog of war'. It's important to remember that many of the losses on both sides were not "confirmed" until many years after the war when an analysis was done to connect all the dots.

Many historians, writers and researchers spend their spare time (in some cases full time) trying to solve the outstanding mysteries (some of which may never be solved), and to verify even the accepted record. And you know what? They come here for assistance, not the History Channel. The forum here is chock full of them.

Having said that, I too enjoy some of the series on the History Channel. I just take the info with a grain of salt.

Eric
