Note the report in column 7: "Von Bock Under Arrest" |
(This was another fantasy, probably concocted by Russia. Fedor von Bock was relieved of his command by Hitler in July of 1942 and never served in a command position again. He was killed, along with his wife, step-daughter and a family friend by an aircraft attack against his car in May of 1945, just days before the end of the war.) |

Note the report in column 2: "Jap Hospital Ship Sunk" |
(The Harbin Maru was sunk by USS Stingray SS-186 on Jan. 10, 1942. The Japanese are claiming, in the press, that this was a hospital ship and it was sunk in violation of international agreements. This was only for propaganda purposes. All records indicate this ship was a Japanese Army transport, not a hospital ship. While this was not a case of a violation of the law, hospital ships were attacked and sunk by all sides during World War II.) |
