Note the report in column 4: "U.S. Patrols Exact U-Boat Toll" |
(The unaccredited report claims that the U.S. Navy had attacked and sank several German submarines over the last few weeks. It states; "that Germany has suffered losses far more substantial than any [of] her submarines have so far inflicted on America's patrols." The total number of German U-Boats sunk by U.S. forces to date was zero. The total number of U.S. warships sunk or damaged by German U-Boats was two damaged, one sunk. The "substantial losses" of U-Boats in September of 1941 was two, in October it was two and to this date in November, the total was zero.) |

Three days earlier the figure claimed was only 4,000,000.
