(A mysterious anti-Nazi voice has been taking over the German airwaves the last several nights. In the days to come the press tried to give him a nickname. This paper went with "The Red Invader" the Sydney Sun went with "Ivan the Terrible" the Aberdeen paper went with "The Voice" or "Ghost Voice.") |

(A Prof. Ivaov, member of the Soviet Academy of Science [Keep I mind, Soviet "science" was just as corrupt as Nazi "science."] claims that there were no ships in convoy lost for more than a month between the U.S.A. and Britain. I don't have the time to research every loss, but from July 24 to Aug. 24, 1941 the British alone lost 33 ships, all but two in northern latitudes. Twenty-one of those ships were sunk by U-boats.) |

A new brilliant feat of our submarine weapon in the Atlantic.) |

The losses included eight merchantmen and two warships, a corvette [HMS Zinnia] and a destroyer [HNoMS Bath.] Bath [ex USS Hopewell DD-181] was the first Lend-Lease destroyer sunk in action.)
