Note the report in column 6: "53 Missing In Submarine" |
(HMS Tetrarch sailed from Malta on Oct. 26th. On the 27th the boat was in contact with HMS P-34, it was never heard from again. To this day what happened is not known.) |
Also note the report in column 8: "Nazis Have Lost 6,000,000 Men" |
(The Russians, as usual, are the source for this false report. They have now raised the number by 1.2 million since their last report on Dec. 12th.
According to Wikipedia, the German casualties for Operation Barbarossa from June 22, 1941 until Dec. 5, 1941 were: 186,542 killed 40,157 missing 655,179 wounded. Total: 881,878.) |

Note the report in column 8: "12,000-Ton Axis Ship Sunk" |
(They name the passenger-cargo ship Virgilio as possibly being sunk, it was not. That ship survived until Dec. of 1943. I cannot find a record of a large German, or Axis ship being sunk on or about this date.) |
