asked:
“The quantity of fiction grows throughout the book; whereas “Prussian Blue” contains only one fictional paragraph" .......does anyone know which paragraph is fiction? I think it might be the last one, but not sure

Yes, that's right - the Author confirms it here: https://youtu.be/Ch9YMmpzQKc?t=1435

One fiction may be all the author admits to, but the sentence "soldiers who survived attacks with sarin, mustard and chlorine gas in the trenches in the First World War" is a fiction or a mistake - sarin was discovered in 1938. This mistake or unadmitted fiction makes me hesitant about the author.

There's another error where he talks about a tank battle on the eastern front in 1915. There were no tanks at all at that time, and when they came into use it was on the Western front.
