WW2 myths & legends

[Pathfinder]

Hello all,

This thread is a little different as I have been inspired by something I was just reading, but I was interested in finding out more WW2 so-called myths and legends.

For example, I heard many years ago that Germany, during WW2, had possession of the 'spear of destiny'. Now, if this artifact ever did exist, I don't know (that's another story altogether), but this is what I heard. What is even more strange is that the story says that apparently an American special unit was sent to capture it!! It's feels a little silly writing about it, and is obviously a fairy-tale, but still, it's interesting none the less. Has anyone else heard this story.

I have heard many other stories, some of which over the years have been found to be truthful, such as the training for the D-Day landings that ended in disaster.
