Note the report in column 6: "Knox Admits Diver Attack" |
(This event occurred on Apr. 11th, but it was a one-sided attack. USS Niblack DD-424, after picking-up the survivors of the Dutch steamship Saleier on Apr. 11th, which had been sunk by U-52 on the 10th, picked up a sound contact and dropped three depth charges against what they thought was a German U-boat. If there had been a U-boat, this would have been the first hostile action between the United States and Germany, but there was no U-boat. Even though U-52 had sunk the Saleier on the 10th, they immediately left the area. Kapitänleutnant Otto Salman, the commanding officer of U-52, makes no mention in his war diary of being attacked on that date. According to the German Naval High Command, no other U-boat was in the area, and no other U-boat reported an attack on this date. The U.S. Navy later concluded that the attack had been against a false target. The first confirmed action between the United States and Germany was not until Sept. 4, 1941 when USS Greer DD-145 was fired on by U-652. Both torpedoes missed, but Greer dropped depth charges against the U-boat. In a strange twist of fate, On Oct. 31, 1941, Niblack was one of the ships which rescued survivors from the USS Reuben James DD-245, which was the first U.S. Navy ship sunk by enemy action in World War II.) |

Note the photo at bottom right of Adolf Hitler and Werner Mölders. |
(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.) |
