This is going to sound nit-picky, but you guys have an overwhelming number of false comments throughout that really makes it more difficult to read / understand.

The following is just a random sample, with the bold comments as clearly false. (the following is not nearly as bad as some areas.... )

I actually find the 2nd set (with comments removed) easier to read and understand. If every 2nd or 3rd comment line is false, then that really defeats the purpose and it becomes more of a distraction. Other than the file headers, I would consider just stripping out the other comments completely...

I can provide specific examples....

A good 50% of these are incorrect. Even if all were true, they still just clutter up the event file. I would put one example in the header comments and leave at that.

I missed the following from the previous example. (actually, previously spotted it, but forgot - just as bad I suppose..)

I cannot find any reference that Bulgaria joined the Axis on "1941/02/08". Everything I have come across cites "March 1st, 1941" as the date Bulgaria joined the Axis. (more than 10 references...)

Have no idea where "1941/02/08" came from....
