I'm not sure if these are all true, but someone sent me this link and I thought I'd share. If some are false, please feel free to point them out. Krystal Amazing Wartime Facts from WWII
The Graf Spee was never salvaged completely, only bits and pieces. Infact, they're still trying to bring it up! The first thing salvaged by the Allies during the war was the radar system, "bought" is probably the wrong word to use. I don't know about the fart thing, there is an official term for it which starts with a B but it's escaping me at the moment. Whether you can die from it or if it was very common, I don't know. Edit: The image of Patton isn't very "incriminating" either.
There are a some on the list that are just "toro crapo"(BS) If the first German in the war was killed by the Japanese in China during 1937, then what about the three US naval personnel killed in China during the same year? One aboard the cruiser USS Augusta and two aboard the USS Panay. There were three US Lt. Generals killed during World War II: Lt. Gen. Frank M. Andrews was killed in the crash of a B-24 in Iceland during 1943, Lt. Gen. McNair was killed in 1944, and Lt. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr. was killed by the Japanese at Okinawa. Incorrect, at the time of Pearl Harbor, the shoulder patch of the 45th was that of a Thunderbird, the Swastika was dropped and the Thunderbird adopted on May 22, 1939, that would be before WW2 began. It wasn't worth the effort because of all the large bomber designs submitted for the "Amerika Bomber" the Me-254 was the worst of the lot. It also wasn't worth the effort, because it allowed Messerschmidt to place more attention on the Me-262. Untrue. The US Army had a larger Fleet than the US Navy. Most US Army vessels fell under the definition of "boats," not "ships." The US Navy had more ocean-going "ships" 6,000+ to the US Army's 1,000+. Germany declared war on the USSR on June 22, 1941. http://www.pbs.org/behindcloseddoors/pdfs/NaziInvasionDeclaration.pdf These are just some mistakes that really stood out, there are probably others, but I would have to do some research for those.
