  3.  @epa901  I trust US sources usually more than other sources, but I still take it with a grain of salt. Not just because of propaganda, but also because war is messy and confusing. Soldiers and militaries only collect so much evidence and then kind of guess. There was an interesting study during WWII, after the Falaise Pocket where the US sent in soldiers to count all the dead bodies and destroyed vehicles, and they tried to determine what caused the damage. If they didn't know for sure, they gave the Air Force the credit. By the end of the study, they found that American pilots overestimated their kills by a factor of nearly 2-1. Conversely, British pilots tended to underestimate their kills. It goes to show how confusing and chaotic was can be
