Two things...[edit]

(A) What does page 248 of Cruickshank have to do with anything?
(B) {{Citation}} and {{cite book}} aren't supposed to be mixed, but as I never use {citation}, I was too lazy to figure out how to convert the {cite book} you have in the Bibliography section. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 16:45, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed them both Ed. Thanks for pointing that out. A lot of edits in just over three hours... TARTARUS ^talk 17:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Order of Battle[edit]

Has anyone been able to find out the notional Order of Battle for Operation Cockade? From what little I know there were two main fictional armies involved in addition to the real units. They were, the Sixth British Army (II Corps(Unknown Divisions), ? Corps (Unknown Divisions)) and the Fourth British Army (OOB different from the one in Operation Fortitude).Graham1973 (talk) 13:41, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Zero losses for the Allies?[edit]

The Eighth Air Force would disagree. Crew losses were not insubstantial, see the chronicles. 46.138.82.223 (talk) 07:36, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
