1. Patton conquered Italy in six weeks.
2. Roosevelt (not Eisenhower) relieved Patton.
3. Patton single handedly took over Germany.
4. Hitler and Stalin spoke perfect English.
5. World War 2 tanks were magically transported into WW 1.
6. Hitler didn't shoot himself on a couch with his wife, he shot himself at his desk.
7. Stalin apparently was about 6 feet tall.

Feel free to add to list of things you have "learned".

Hitler actually DID speak English. Not very well, but enough to communicate. He loved Hollywood films, especially Marlene Dietrich, and had English friends earlier in his life.

The Luftwaffe used B-17's and B-24's during the Battle of Britain.
I never knew that!

Thanks, History Channel!

(what a waste of time...)
