Note the report in columns 5-6: "Forgotton Ambassador is Still Held by Nazis" |
(Sir Lancelot Oilphant had been held by the Germans since Dec. 1939. He was released sometime in 1941.) |
[*Historical note: On this day U-70 was sunk while attacking convoy OB-293 by HMS Camellia K-31 (Lt. Cdr. Alfred Ernest Willmott, RNR) and HMS Arbutus K-86 (Lt. Cdr. Hugh Lloyd-Williams, RNVR.) This was the first U-boat sunk since Nov. 28, 1940. Another U-Boat was last heard from on this day. U-47, under the command of Günther Prien, was probably sunk while attacking the same convoy as U-70. There were no survivors from U-47. Of the top 10 highest scoring U-boat commanders (by tonnage, Prien was #9) Günther Prien was the only one to lose his life during the war. (Wolfgang Lüth, the second highest scoring commander was killed days after Germany surrendered, he was shot by mistake by a German sentry on May. 13, 1945.] |

That order saw 53,000 Jews leave the city. Wächter hid after the war and died in 1949 never having to answer to the world for his crimes.] |

Note the report in column 4: "Italian Oil Tanker Sunk By Cruiser" |

Also note the report in column 2: "Fireworks Bill Is Sent To Governor" |
(A bill to restrict the people from owning or using fireworks in Ohio, was sent to the Governor. This, in the "Land of the Free." Just think about this, the same government that could draft you to go fight a war, teach you how use guns and explosives to kill people, and quite possibly get killed in the process, won't "allow" you to play with fire crackers, because it's just not safe. Do I need to explain how absurd this is? That's freedom folks.) |
