Don't worry, they're just fucking with you. Those are the generations that love lying on polls, especially if they can say something offensive.
Survey itself is
here -- it looks like the "Who or what do you think the holocaust" question was open-ended, which... I'm not sure makes it better or worse? Does make me think about that 1% who answered FDR, though.
Note that the '23% believe false/exaggerated' isn't quite accurate. It's 3% false, 12% "greatly exaggerated," 8% "not sure." Still not great, but less bad?
But hey, 91% of people are familiar with Hitler. That's brand recognition!
In other news, apparently the US Air Force
has confirmed the design, development, and flight of a new prototype fighter craft. This would be potentially a competitor to the hilariously-inept F-35, which is a good thing, but considering that we have no details but this confirmation who's to say if it's actually any good at the whole aircraft thing.
Also interesting about this (and what the linked article spends most of its time discussing) is the potential changes to their design & development process, shifting from long-term support for craft to more rapid iteration and replacement of models.
All that said, I find it rather amusing that they're naming this after the 'century' series of US combat jets, seeing as those were pretty bad fighters the product of inflexible decisionmakers.
