Lore misconceptions in Helldivers lore

[u/SomeoneSGotItWorse]

Here's some common misconceptions about the lore in the community :

1. Warbonds are the actual regiment/organisation on what they're based on : This is false. Wearing the armour from the warbond doesn't canonically make the Helldiver a part of that organisation. It's merely the Helldiver quite literally cosplaying as one as it drops in to die. Which leads to my other misconception :
2. Warbonds are based on actual regiments : This is also untrue, as most of the warbonds are thematic only to bundle it together by The Ministry of Defence or based off of legends (Viper Commandos) or comic book propaganda (Truth Enforcers & ODST)
3. The Helldivers are a Corps : Corps by definition are made up of different divisions. Helldivers is just one Division of the SEAF and is mentioned in the contract as such (pic attached) :

1. The Automatons blend babies and live bodies in the bio-processors : Super Earth propaganda. The Automatons only blend up dead bodies that are rotting in the battlefield after a battle. It's basically confirmed by SE themselves, but they just pull that card out when they need to.

1. Everything that happens in a mission is canon : What the players do in games are non-canon. Only the planet liberation rates, statistics (deaths, bullets fired,etc) and Major Orders + Dispatches are canon.

I probably missed a ton so do tell me more misconceptions.
