Note the report in column 3: "German Pocketship Luetzow Torpedoed By British Planes" |
(Sir Archibald Sinclair tells the Associated Press that Lützow was hit a few weeks ago. This was not true. Sinclair is also quoted as saying; "Sinkings of British ships in the month of July were the lowest for any month for more than a year." Which was true, British losses were about one third of the normal amount. Only 94,000 tons in July when losses had been over 300,000 tons each from Feb. to May, June was slightly less with 268,000 tons. He then went further, according to the reporter. He is quoted as saying; the "spell of German invincibility which paralyzed half the world a year ago has now been finally broken." Sadly, this was far too optimistic. In August the number of tons lost was about the same, 96,000 tons, but in Sept. losses rose to 214,000 tons. In October another 151,000 tons were lost. November would be the best month for the British, losses were only 90,711 tons. However, December's numbers tripled to over 270,000 tons. (All the figures given are for losses of all causes of British merchant shipping. These exclude warships and foreign shipping.) |
