Note the headline report: "Invasion Of Eire Believed Next Nazi Move."
(In all the research I have done, all the reading I have done and all the German documents I have, I have never seen a plan for the invasion of Ireland. Then again, there was not really a plan for the invasion of England.)
Also note the report in column 3: "Flu Epidemic Heads for War Zone"
(A very interesting line can be seen in paragraph 5 which states;

"Another sign of the eastward trail was the fact that England recently asked for, and received large shipments of the (wait for it...) NEW INFLUENZA VACCINE developed at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York."

Seems that 81 years ago people were a lot less reluctant to accept a new vaccine. What has changed? The answer to that would take a very long time to work out.)
