Wish i could provide the link, i do recall reading it, but this was probably close to a year ago, so id be hard pressed to find that reference material now.
Yeah, sure, tell me now that you can't find it...

No, really, that's some pretty interesting info.

Is this reflected in game?
Probably not. Nor should it be, as the Americans didn't know this at the time. I'm realism's biggest booster, but sometimes being technically accurate just gives the player an opportunity to cheat.
