(HMS Lady Somers, a former Canadian passenger liner and former Armed Merchant Cruiser, now an ocean boarding vessel, was sunk by the Italian submarine Morosini on July 15. All 175 on board were rescued.)

(The Press and Journal, has information from "well-informed circles," which appears to be radio Moscow, that claims Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring is under house arrest, perhaps placed there by Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler or the Gestapo. The report, if it came from Russia, is nothing more than Russian propaganda.)

I also noticed that There is no retraction, at least on the front page, about yesterday's report that President Roosevelt's personal representative, Harry Hopkins, was not missing, but was in fact, in London. See the Evening Despatch above. )

(Also known as polio, there are now 27 reported cases in Winnipeg.)

(Some of the survivors believe that the submarine that sank their ship was built in France, but crewed by Germans. This was half true, the boat, U-69, was built in Kiel, Germany and the crew were all Germans.)

(The report probably refers to an action by HMS Torbay, under the command of Lt. Commander Anthony C. C. Miers, RN. What the British report does not say is that Miers had his men shoot German soldiers in the water and in small craft after sinking their vessels. Exactly how many were killed is not known to me. This happened on at least three occasions between July 4 and 10.

The Germans equated this to the Baralong Incident of the Great War when the Q-Ship, HMS Baralong, sank SMS U-27 then shot all the survivors in the water. None of the thirty-seven-man crew survived. A second incident involving HMS Baralong occurred when the Q-Ship sank SMS U-41. While the survivors were not shot, a lifeboat with survivors was run down by the ship. There were only two survivors from the thirty-seven man crew.)

[Adolf Hitler awarded Oberst Werner Mölders the diamonds to his Knight's Cross. Mölders thus became the first man to be awarded the Eichenlaub mit Schwertern und Brillanten zum Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuz [Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds] in the Second World War. Only 26 others would receive this award. He had recently been in the news for besting the record of Manfred von Richthofen, "The Red Baron," from the Great War. However, his glory would last only a short time, Mölders, while flying as a passenger to the funeral of his friend Ernst Udet, was killed on Nov. 22, 1941 in a plane crash. They were buried side by side next to Manfred von Richthofen in the Invalidenfriedhof Cemetery in Berlin.

In 1969 the new German navy, the Deutsche Marine, named a destroyer in his honor. Mölders D-186, is one of only three German ships named after former Nazi officers.

The others, Lütjens D-185, named after Vizeadmiral Günther Lütjens, who died in the battleship Bismarck on May 24, 1941 and Rommel D-187, named after Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel, "The Desert Fox", who committed suicide on Oct. 14, 1944 after being accused of complicity in the July 20, 1944 plot to kill Adolf Hitler, (Operation Valkyrie.) This accusation has never been fully proven or fully disproved.]
