Your figures are misleading.
A large portion of foreigners served in RAF squadrons -- e.g. not all Canadians were in RCAF units, not all Aussies were in RAAF units, and so on.

Consider the source.
Many of the documentaries shown on the History Channel are British-made. Most of these programs are badly researched. They contain outdated information and numerous factual errors.
