Cracked has yet another instant classic by Jacopo della Quercia (easily their best writer – I'll eventually link to all of his stories), this time revising some revisionist history. The piece is about The Five Most Widely Believed World War II Facts That Are... erm... not strictly factual.
It's utterly fascinating – and one of the few stories ever to debunk the myths of Churchill (who was a total nutter), and the twin notions of US and German military might (if anybody was going to win, it was the Soviets).
Tear up your high school history textbooks, and read Cracked. At least there you'll get the truth (or something like it).
