A terrible tragedy. The author seemed a bit cynical to me however.

Do they keep count of how many troops are killed by friendly fire? Would be macabre to know but somehow feel it could be a lot if the truth were known.

They never spoke of friendly fire in WWII, but my research shows that it happened quite often but no one really kept tabs of exact numbers.
