Robert Capa's pictures of the D Day landing on Omaha Beech were not shot with a Leica but a Zeiss Contax.

That was my understating too.
 
I love all the sniping and carping on the comments section after the article. Almost thought I was reading something on an online photography forum!
 
I do like the concept that, when you already have the best equipment, you can no longer delude yourself that a better camera would improve your skills.
 
35mm format was chosen to utilise cine film, not specified by Leica so there's another gaff
 
Yep. IIRC, Oskar Barnack had asthma that prevented him from carrying a larger camera. They did get that part right.
