Note the report in column 5: "153 in 3 Days" |
(This tally of downed aircraft seems to have been calculated by the press rather than announced by the Air Ministry. Nevertheless, the actual number of German aircraft lost for all causes between Aug. 24-26, 1940 was 92, R.A.F. losses were 64.) |

Note the report in columns 3-4: "Eire Villages Bombed" |
(The Germans officially denied that they bombed Ireland, see The Evening Star below. In the official German documents I have available they state that they bombed the Scilly Islands, Brighton, Bournemouth, Newport, Plymouth, Portsmouth and Exeter, but there is no mention of any target in Ireland. It is possible a single aircraft found its way there, but there seems to have been no sanctioned mission over the Emerald Isle.) |

Note the report in column 5: "Harvard Gets Library of Leon Trotsky" |
(Harvard University paid the communist an undisclosed amount of American dollars for his machinations. I wonder if the communist would have given the money to the "workers" he professed to care so much for. Alas, he was killed by communism, the monster he helped to create, before he could live it up on Yankee dollars provided by a leftist American university. I suppose that Harvard uses his writings to teach young American students the joys of communism. But, they don't seem to educate these same students about the 100,000,000 dead bodies (Trotsky being one of them) that were left behind by the communists.) |
[See newspapers from Aug. 21, 1940 and Aug. 22, 1940 for more on his death.] |
