Mafia II vs Real History: The Real Vito Was Stranger

You steal gas ration stamps in Mafia II, and it sounds like a game writer's idea. Thieves really hit those offices hundreds of times. Then the game gives Vito ten years for it, and I was sure I'd caught them out. I hadn't.

I checked fourteen things the game claims against court cases, Senate reports and old newsreels: Sicily in 1943 and the Mafia legend, Lucky Luciano and the Navy, Vito Genovese working for the US Army, the coupon black market, the docks, the Kefauver hearings, the oath, the "no dope" rule, and what really happened to witnesses.

Final score: Mafia II is 71% true. The first game got 68%.

Which verdict did I get wrong? And which game should I check next?
