I'm working on a project that concerns the Palatia, and more specifically the death toll. But as I was adding up the deaths and working out the total souls aboard, I noticed that the two sets of numbers don't add up. One set says that were 999 prisoners, 34 Germans, and a Norwegian pilot, totaling 1034 souls.. But if you add the total number of people who died (986) to the total number of people who were saved (108+78=186), you come up to 1172. Where did the extra 134 people come from? Someone who knows more about this topic please help! ASinglePintoBean (talk) 06:40, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
