And the rest are mostly about Hitler, Hitlers dog, Hitlers secretary, Hitlers lunch.
I wonder if History Channel will update their website with this information? It seems like if they actually give a damn about history, they should.
The proof was stupid. It shows the back of some person and the photo concludes that its Amelia. About this topic, its amazing how many people claim that its pro-science but never ask for proof, or scientific method.

i remember watching ww II battle documentaries, and they would be talking about a battle, say battle of the budge. and I would be like 'wait a second, that stock video footage was a corsair shooting a drone. then it hit me that almost all of the video shown on these things is just for aesthetics / effect and not actual footage from the topic in question. then it hit me, the news was actually doing the same thing! lik…
