Bloody hell! That would be a shoddy memory, for it has been many years since the last viewing. Man, that's an old review.
I've updated it, Benj, if you want to swap my bad one for a good one.

Jinx's review here I think belongs here.
In the eiger sanction eastwood is climbing and that is the setting of the whole film where as in where eagles dare there is little climbing.

One of Kolo's reviews here mentions a pelican eating penguins  in March of the Penguins. Pelicans are found in every continent except Antarctica. I bet it was either a skua or a Giant Antarctic Petrel, i.e., one of these birds here.

Most likely a Petrel, they're the most pelican-esque.
Either way, it wasn't a pelican.
Modern pelicans are found on all continents except Antarctica: they are birds of inland and coastal waters and are absent from polar regions, the deep ocean, oceanic islands, and inland South America.

Memphis Belle (1990) has a couple of reviews referring to Dresden. The relevant city in that film was Bremen (although in reality, the Memphis Belle's last mission was to Wilhelmshafen). Dresden wasn't hit until a couple of years later, early 1945.
So, if those reviews were edited so 'Dresden' was replaced with 'Bremen' they'd be ok.
It doesn't help that one of the plot summaries at IMDb refers to the raid being on Dresden.

Have declined those reviews, but noticed there's another in the pending pile also referring to Dresden. Is it possible the film incorrectly refers to Dresden (which would still make these reviews acceptable)? Basically, are you going off historical knowledge here or filmic knowledge?

I had a good look around before making above post.
Memphis Belle: A Story Of A Flying Fortress, The (1944) was a documentary on this historical bombing raid to Wilhelmshafen.
The 1990 fictional movie Memphis Belle (1990) (which had the incorrect 'Dresden' reviews) had the bombing raid to Bremen. So the Memphis Belle didn't bomb Dresden in history or in the 1990 fictional movie.
I suspect the reviews mentioned Dresden as the principal plot summary at IMDb (that's where I go to check facts before submitting reviews) incorrectly mentioned Dresden. I would guess it's one of those cases where an error becomes self-propagating as more and more people inadvertently copy the error.
But I'll be more than happy to eat my hat on this matter (mainly because I don't have a hat) if I'm wrong.

I've googled and found both answers, nineteen and twenty. I found a list of items and he did only send himself nineteen items but there was a clue in the stamp, making twenty clues. I'll change my review. :)
