Note the report in columns 4-5: "Rome Admits It - Navy Sink 2 Troopships" |
(The two ships sunk were Neptunia and Oceania, and both were sunk by the British submarine HMS Upholder, not by the RAF. For as many men the two ships had on board, only about 384 were killed. Over 5,000 were picked up by the escorting ships. I am assuming that the disinformation about who sank the ships was to keep the enemy from knowing a British submarine was in the area, but, I am sure the enemy already knew who sank their ships and were quite aware that a British submarine was in the area.) |

Note the report in columns 2-4: "De-Glamorised Pyjamas Seen As Barrier To Divorce" |
(The fact that the government is telling the population exactly what kind of pajamas they will be "Allowed" to buy, does not seem to be the issue, no, the lawyers don't like the decree because they say it will make proving infidelity harder for them. I think their focus was a little off.) |
Also note the report in column 3: "Raider Sunk By U.S. Navy" |
(Reporters asked FDR if the sinking of a German raider was true, he declined to comment. That was all he could do, because no German raider had been sunk.) |

Note the report in column 4: "12 Shot in Paris As Feeling Rises In Nazi Areas" |
(Otto von Stülpnagel, while he was the military commander of occupied France, had a difficult relationship with the Nazi hierarchy. Making numerous formal complaints about theft of art, treatment of the French and various other things, he finally resigned in 1942. He was replaced by his cousin Cark-Heinrich von Stülpnagel. Otto returned to Berlin, where he stayed until the end of the war. He was arrested by the Allies for war crimes [he had executed over 100 French civilians,] but he committed suicide before he could be tried.) |
