November 6, 1939: Front page of the Manchester Evening News, Manchester, England. |

Note the story at top left: "U-boats Have Shot Their Bolt" |
(Very wishful thinking on the part of the writer and editor.) |
Also note the story in column 7: "Nazi Arrested His Mother" |
(One of the ways the Nazis came to power was to poison the minds of children with Nazi propaganda in the schools and the press. In totalitarian regimes the parents fear their children (and others) because they can denounce them for making anti-government statements in private. A terrifying prospect and a tactic which is still being used to this day.) |
