Have to wonder about the mentality of the person who spent time and effort making all that up.

Hi Mike,
I looked at other entries on that website and there is tons of BS on it!! Just look at this entry on the page for David Brown Gear company;
1940 - 47 (UK)
The Halifax Coup and events stemming from Britain’s Armistice with Germany saw a downturn in David Brown Ltd’s fortunes. The German occupation from late 1942 saw the order book refilled, but little enthusiasm on the part of staff and workers. The Park Works were attacked by the US Navy on several occasions, causing a great deal of superficial damage that was used to justify a general downturn in output.

I think if the US Navy had attacked a factory in Huddersfield, Yorkshire it would have been quite remarkable. I wonder who wrote all this garbage?
