The US Army had more ships that the US Navy.
More ships? I'd have to see some source on that before I would believe it. Perhaps they meant boats, but still the US Navy had over 15,000 water craft in it's inventory, not counting whale boats, Captain's barges and what not carried by larger ships.

84 German Generals were executed by Hitler
Germany lost 136 Generals, which averages out to be 1 dead General every 2 weeks
So if you were a German general, you were more likely to die by the hands of your own army?

During the Japanese attack on Hong Kong, British officers objected to Canadian infantrymen taking up positions in the officer’s mess. No enlisted men allowed!
This seems a bit stodgy to believe.
