@lovepeace9727 ">1941 >PZ IV cool story bro" You do realise that PzKpfw. IV entered mass production in 1936, right? It hadn't started with F2 series, you know?:D

wood1155 not necessary after so many decades of Cold War propaganda on all sides? That is still ongoing? For f//cks sake, the whole "superior german technology" myth was born out of ALL Allies trying to hide their incompetense under the excuse that the other side had better everything. Japanese warcrimes is a taboo theme in western world to this day. WTF do you mean by not necessary? Most people know history of the events at "Enemy at the Gates" level! It's a damned disaster.

@andrewwoodhead3141 no one uses it for academic work(if they're at least serious about it and their superiors care about their reputation), the problem is that popular opinion isn't forged by academic work. Want to see the worst? Check several language versions of same articles. For example I can look up english, german, polish and russian. In theory even google translate can be used to view them. Polish version will blatantly ignore all russian sources and vice versa, germans suprisingly agree on many points with russians, but english version also ignores both, russians quote english sources, but do so in regards to translated and edited versions. And so on. I'd even go so far as to say that german versions of WWII related articles are the most objective. They're not afraid to admit what they have done and thus also have no fear of exposing/supporting others resulting in the most broad selection of sources and opinions that gets filtered instead of being dismissed simply by the nation of origin. It's an ideological battleground of Cold War(which apparently ended long ago in said public opinion:)), what have you wanted?

@cptant7610 not exactly. Tanks arrived earlier, they've catched cavalry on the retreat back to polish lines after the battle when they were mounted and thus weren't expecting someone to catch up to them and couldn't use AT rifles. They were mowed down by MGs. Reporters arrived even later.

Wikipedia housed several articles on fake conflicts and events just a few years ago. Nowadays it's gotten better, it's just biased and unreliable:D
