The filtering is done at higher levels ( And with more complete reports, including context, such as the background, unit, circumstances of capture, and the transcript of the interrogation. This is a Summary Report.) where information from multiple sources, including Field Examination of knocked-out or captured vehicles is examined.<br />Anyone who has been involved with any military (I doesn't matter which one) is fully aware of the <br />depth and breadth of the "Latrine Rumor ", especially when the report is coming from a non-specialist from another branch, and the ability of a soldier to build a yarn from them.<br />NH_flierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986318582164600815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-43661207522788029022018-10-06T18:37:14.651-04:002018-10-06T18:37:14.651-04:00Strikes me these prisoners either lied so as to cr...Strikes me these prisoners either lied so as to create fear in Russia or they didn't know what they were talking about.
