Note the report in column 2: "Rumanian Steamer Sunk" |
(The Associated Press report out of Turkey states that the 5,700-ton Alba Julia had been torpedoed and sunk. I don't know if the ship had been hit by a torpedo, but I know it was not sunk. It survived the war, ended up in Soviet hands and disappeared from the shipping registers in 1960.) |
Also note the report in column 1: "Ship Torpedoed by Two Submarines" |
(A report from the Italian News Agency claims a 12,000-ton Norwegian tanker named Knudsen, was sunk off the Canary Islands. In fact, the ship was the Ida Knudsen, which was sunk by the Italian submarine Luigi Torelli. Five men were killed in the attack, there were thirty-three survivors. There was no other submarine involved.) |

Note the photo of Adolf Hitler in company with many of his Generals. These include Wilhelm Keitel, Gerd von Rundstedt and possibly Walther von Brauchitsch. In yesterday's Press and Journal there was Russian propaganda report entitled "Nazi Generals in Disgrace," which stated that Keitel and von Brauchitsch had not been mentioned in the latest Nazi communique. Later in the report they state "All Generals who did not approve of Hitler's plan of the war against the U.S.S.R. have been arrested or dismissed from their command and given new appointments. It is possible that this photo was released to assure the German public that Hitler and the General Staff were still in good standing with each other. There is no date on the photo and I have no idea when the photo was taken. |
