of 2,300 people
The Black Book did not list 2,300 people; published descriptions of the Sonderfahndungsliste G.B. give 2,820 names.
Full reasoning
This sentence understates the size of the Sonderfahndungsliste G.B. (the "Black Book").
Published descriptions of the document give the list as containing 2,820 names, not 2,300. Multiple historical accounts describing the handbook and the attached wanted list use the figure 2,820 for the people marked for arrest after a successful invasion of Britain.
Because the article gives a specific number, this is a factual numerical error rather than a matter of interpretation.
