I have to say, I'm kinda shocked about this. Not a WW II issue, but a US history mistake, and a rather glaring one. The official US Army website says that 50,000 were killed at the Battle of Gettysburg. I HOPE there's nobody here at the Lounge, at least on this part of it, who doesn't know that there were 50,000 CASUALTIES. Total killed was closer to 7.863.
