While others were falling apart, this chap – the shoulders on his uniform revealed him to be a colonel – was calm. They were preparing to flee, but he was getting ready to stay. Destruction of records was only one of the things on his mind. In his office inside, there were maps spread on his desk, and as a motley collection of figures made their way in and out, he took reports, gave orders and made offers. He was blinking incessantly, but not from the smoke or nerves, that was just his way. He was currently conducting simultaneous negotiations with both the police and the local crime syndicates. He had people out in the city organising disguises and hideouts. If the Germans were going to occupy Egypt, he was going to make their lives hell.

I'm so sorry I can't take the Dudley-breaks-the-news-of-Eve's-supposed-death scene seriously AT ALL. It's hilarious! It's the reason why I'm a Dudley/Eve conspiracy nut, for fun, but let me explain the reasons this scene leaves me with no sanity.
First, it's important to know that the Qattara Depression, where Dudley says Eve's plane went down, is WEST of Alexandria (off to the left, on a map). Cairo is to the east/right of Alexandria. There is no way a plane headed from Alexandria to Cairo would go west.
So, from west (left) to east (right) we have: the Qattara Depression - Alexandria - the sandstorm Dudley says happened - Cairo.
Now, this is in a show that's playing fancy-dress-up-costume with history, and moved Kabrit from where it actually is (east of the Nile, by the Suez Canal) to a few hundred miles into the desert west of the Nile. Option one in the Eve plane story mystery is that the showrunners just didn't give a shit about where a place was, they simply slapped a name in there because they'd read/heard about it, and figured no one would know or bother to check. That would be on par for the show. (And the racist assumption that no one's going to know/care/bother to check where these places are - I very much doubt we're going to find them playing fast and loose with the location of European places.)
Anyway, leaving aside the option that makes me spit incredulous venom, I have a far more amusing second option to put forward:
Dudley was making shit up.
Which is extra fucking funny because Stirling, having been out in the desert, should very much know where the Qattara Depresison is. Dudley would know that Stirling should know. He'd be cackling internally at Stirling falling for it.
I don't know if I believe a word of what Dudley said, it makes no sense, but David not noticing the inconsistency means either anyone watching the show who knows vaugely where places in Egypt are just have to shriek in intense discomfort, or David is a complete and utter dumbass when it comes to remembering where places are.

It seems weird to me that there’s such a line in this era of stories between “real” superheroes and the fictional superheroes that exist in comic books.
It would be so odd to me to be reading comics in a world where real life superheroes actually existed to fight real villains.
