Operation Candid

Created by JeanPassepartout (talk). Self-nominated at 07:35, 3 April 2017 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Article is new and long enough, no copyright problems, and this is the creator's first DYK nomination, so QPQ not necessary yet. Hook is interesting - I'd never heard of the name and only vaguely of the operation (I might be getting confused with something else) My concern is that some of the facts in the article do not appear to be in the sources given; for example the article mentions Balmoral Castle with a citation to the Daily Telegraph piece, but the castle is not mentioned in the source.

  • I don't think Medium is a reliable source - anyone can write anything about anyone on there. The National Archives source is okay as although it's hard to access if you're not near Kew, that doesn't deter the busloads of OAPs who turn up every Saturday to check the war records of their long lost relatives.
