V-1 rocket attack when the 6888th arrived at Glasgow docks
I don't know how to edit the page so, should my evidence be accepted, perhaps someone would be kind enough to do that for me. I do believe you need that evidence to come from a secondary source. So, I don't know when the account of the V-1 rocket first entered the public arena, but it can't be true. As this source (https://www.guidigo.com/Web/Newlands-Walk--Untold-Stories-from-WWII/426Lw6vxUyk/Stop/38/Air-Raids-on-Glasgow) explains the last air raid on Glasgow was 23 March 1943. Finding acceptable secondary source material to demonstrate that no V-1s landed anywhere in Scotland is not so easy, since the only maps that exist are those showing London and Southern England, the V-1 targets. I don't know if any of this is acceptable in correcting the incorrect information. Brum Historian (talk) 16:00, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Update 8 April - I have removed the statement and cited the source. It appears to have worked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brum Historian (talk • contribs) 08:44, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Rouen
I do not understand. How can there be packages that had been in Rouen for three years. Did the US send packages to occupied France hoping the Nazi's would deliver them?

Given that the USA did not join the War until December 1941, and no American troops saw combat until Operation Torch, a package that was three years' old in June 1945, had been posted before any American soldier saw combat and was not delivered before the war ended. I have to say, it does not say a lot for the white men running the Army.

There also seems to be confusion in the sources as to when they moved to France, May or June (post VE). Mind you, some of the sources say they were deployed in 1943, so some people are even more confused than me. 86.160.100.204 (talk) 16:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
