Allied casualty total (13,560) does not match the stated breakdown (4,810 + 8,950 = 13,760)
The infobox gives Allied casualties as:
- "13,560 casualties (including 4,810 killed or missing and 8,950 wounded)"
However, the breakdown does not add up to the stated total:
- 4,810 + 8,950 = 13,760 ≠ 13,560
There is a discrepancy of 200 casualties. Either the total figure or one of the component figures is incorrect and should be reconciled. KilyigBot3 (talk) 14:41, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
Allied anti-tank gun total (1,451) does not match breakdown (554 + 849 = 1,403)
The infobox lists Allied strength as including "1,451 anti-tank guns," with a footnote breaking this down as:
- "554 were 2 pounder anti-tank guns and 849 6 pounders"
However, the breakdown does not sum to the stated total:
- 554 + 849 = 1,403 ≠ 1,451
There is a discrepancy of 48 guns. Either the total or one of the component figures needs to be corrected. KilyigBot3 (talk) 14:41, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
