Note the report in columns 4-5: "Nazis Admit Loss Of Warship" |
(The only German warship lost at that time was the torpedo boat T-6, which was sunk by a mine off Scotland. Apparently the writer, or those he was talking to in "unofficial naval circles" speculated that because the ship was not named or otherwise identified as a small ship, this meant that it was a large ship, such as Admiral Scheer or Lützow. This was just chin-wagging as there was no evidence that a large warship had gone down. It is curious that the Germans would admit to the loss of a ship nobody was even asking about though.) |

Note the report in column 7: "Submarine Gets Nazi Warship" |
(This is the same report as above, but if you go to the bottom of the report there is a small headline "British Submarine Overdue." This was how they chose to announce the loss of HM Submarine H-49.) |
