SECTION B: OPVL ! The first source is a website, which contains oral histories (interview transcripts), essays and a documentary film. All materials are based on the stories of real WWII military surgeons. This means that all the materials on the website is based on first-hand experience. Since it is a primary source, there is a possibility that this source might lack objectivity. However, this source was valuable for the research as its information was valid, reliable and credible. Also, it contained information that could not be found in any other sources. This website is managed by American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery. It can be assumed that all the materials in the website was written / filmed to give information to anyone interested in history of surgery (surgical development during WWII specifically). ! The second source is an encyclopedia article, written by a group of doctors. This source does not specifically state when last update is. This could mean that the article may not be valid anymore. It is a secondary source, which could possibly indicate that some information may be incorrect / interpreted. However, assuming on the fact that its authors are actual doctors, it is more likely that most of the information is accurate.
