Mexican Cassualties

Although Mexico suffered an insignificant amount of casualties compared to many other nations (Eg U.S.S.R.), I feel it is important to include the few that they did suffer. The number of Mexican dead is of only 5. These 5 can be added to the 100 that died during german U-boat attacks.

Source for the casualties: https://www.sev.gob.mx/difusion/ejercito_mexicano/escuadron201.pdf This is an official document written by the state of Veracruz, talking about the actions of the Aztec Eagles during the war. Pg 8: "El escuadrón mexicano sufrió la pérdida de cinco pilotos durante las acciones en el frente:El Capitán 2° Pablo Luis Rivas Martínez, los Tenientes José Espinosa Fuentes y Héctor Espinosa Galván, y los Subtenientes Fausto Vega Santander y Mario López Portillo" This roughly translates to "The Mexican squadron suffered the loss of 5 pilots during combat on the front: Captain Pablo Luis Rivas Martínez, Lieutenants José Espinosa Fuentes and Héctor Espinosa Galván, and Second Lieutenants Fausto Vega Santander and Mario López Portillo". — Preceding unsigned comment added by DueWizard70 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Graph in the heading

The graph contains gross inaccuracies; for instance, Italy's combined casualties are shown in the graph as much lower than in reality. It should be removed or edited. --Pesqara (talk) 12:21, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
