Thats right....but before they pulled the plug some drops were carried out.

The whole point is raaaid, your genius idea was already thought of and it didn't work out, it's not just as simple as dropping money, the enemy will have ways of countering the efforts.

I agree books are best.

Sure....but nobody can answer my question on how books are immune from falsifying information as opposed to documentaries.

Its not that books are immune from this, its more that in a book its not limited as much by "air" time. Like when they squeeze the BoB into 1 hour instead of a massive tome... ;)

Books aren't immune from falsifying information, but neither is any medium. At least with properly researched and written books cross checking via the bibliography is possible, whereas with dvd documentaries that is hardly ever an option.

Example: In an otherwise excellent DVD documentary on the Hawker Typhoon a well respected aviation historian said that early Typhoons were delivered with eight .303 Brownings because there was a shortage of the weapons; okay, where did that information come from, and how is it possible to x-reference for confirmation?

The question was rhetorical anyway, it was more to do with philip.ed saying that documentaries are all lies or something to that effect.

Anyway, it is true that the Germans tried to counterfeit £5 notes - just been watching an old BBC series Private Shultz which is an accurate docudrama/history of the operation. ;)
