Note the report in column 3: "U-Boat Sunk In Atlantic - 28 Survivors Landed" |
(The report claims a U-boat was sunk by a Norwegian merchant ship. Only one German U-boat was lost in the western Atlantic in June of 1942, that was U-352, which was sunk by USCGC Icarus on May 9th. I have no record of an Italian submarine being lost at that time.) |

Note the report in column 5: "Himmler Feared Heydrich's Power" |

Note the report in column 2: "Big Nazi Raider In Caribbean" |
(The report claims a Panamanian registered ship was sunk by a German raider "as big as the Queen Mary." I have no record of a German surface raider operating in the Caribbean ever, and the only Panamanian registered ship sunk by a surface raider to date in June of 1942 was the 10,170-ton tanker Stanvac Calcutta, which was sunk by the Hilfskreuzer [auxiliary cruiser] Stier [which could not be confused with the Queen Mary] on June 6. This sinking took place in the South Atlantic, not the Caribbean.) |

(This is not the first time politicians in the U.S. have claimed that U-boats were being resupplied by someone on our shores. The British make the same claim about the Irish. Neither claim was true. The U-boats had a very well devised system of resupply at sea. The only country that offered any assistance to the U-boats was Spain, and their help was limited.) |
