Note the report in columns 2-3: "Tommy Church WOuld Trust Newspapers And Abolish Censorship" |
(On the whole, as an American, I abhor censorship, but trusting the newspapers in wartime not to publish information that would benefit the enemy, is one of the most absurd ideas I have ever heard. If you have followed these pages, they are replete with reports about the movements of ships and people, which should never have been published. If you consume media nowadays, I am sure you have figured out that the media, on the whole, is the one of the most corrupt, untrustworthy institutions in the world. To trust them in any way, shape or form is unthinkable.) |

1. Stalin verlor 7 bis 8 Millionen Mann. |
(Stalin has lost between 7 and 8 million men.) |
[The report claims from 7 to 8 million Russians killed, captured, or put out of action. In Thursday's papers, Josef Stalin had claimed that 4.5 million German soldiers were killed, captured or missing, so I assume the Germans, not wanting to be outdone by a Russian lie, tell one of their own in today's papers. According to Wikipedia, the total casualty figures for Operation Barbarossa from June 22, 1941 until Dec. 5, 1941 were: German casualties; 186,542 killed 40,157 missing 655,179 wounded. Total: 881,878. Russian casualties; 566,852 killed 235,339 died of non-combat causes. 1,336,147 sick or wounded in combat and non-combat. 2,335,482 missing or captured. Total: 4,473,820.0.] |
