On today's WWI thread you have a detailed report on the capture of Monastir but a few sections further down you have another section headed "Macedonian front" with a couple of sentences, one of which is about the capture of Monastir so there's a duplication.
Further down on the post there is a section on the costs of the battle of the Somme for the RFC
Just to clarify is that additional 268 were a/c or people. Assuming the former but not clear as the details on crew losses are between this and the earlier details on a/c losses.
On today's WWII post you have
I suspect that should be armies? - Or possibly considering the comments below the map, fronts?
Near the bottom of the post you have. Think there's a small typo here and that should be but rather than hut.

One point please on today's WWII post.
Is that referring to Zhukov or the German commander of the counter attack at Rzhev? Suspect the former but its unclear and could be either.

On today's WWII post you have : Sounds like the troll composing the post really, really didn't like poor Snapdragon.
Otherwise looks fine.

On today's WWI post most of it looks OK but it starts off with:
I think this is out by a year as this was his plan in late 1915 for 1916. - Has one of the trolls hit the brandy before they used the time machine.
On today's WWII post you have:
Possibly this should be "attacked by the Americans" as Bomber Command has been hitting targets deep into Germany and even N Italy? It would fit with the problem of the escort having turned back and the Luftwaffe then being able to swamp them. Surprising how durable the big bombers were under such conditions so full merit to their designers and the brave men aboard them.

No problem. Your doing a huge task with those projects and they provide a good basic history of the conflicts. Just helping with the odd point where something slips through the cracks.

Just noticed I think you misunderstood what I said about yesterday's WWI post. Your changed the date I highlighted from 1915 to 1916 but that wasn't the problem. The issue was that this was his plan in Dec 1915 for the following year, i.e. a big battle of attrition around Verdun. I.e. its already occurred and has only recently finished as you reported with Nivelle's apparent successes in its last stages a few days back.
I.e. the problem is that the section shouldn't be in the post for 20-12-1916 as it was probably already posted a year earlier, which was the correct date for it.
Sorry for any confusion.
Steve

No, the Germans are saints, they would never be that stupid to send something somebody might intercept and use against them.
