(In another example of the bomb violence which was occurring in New York City, a bomb was found, this time on a barge heading toward the British passenger liner Queen Elizabeth and the French liner Normandie. Earlier in the month a bomb at the British Pavilion at the New York World's Fair, exploded killing two New York detectives. This report mentions that incident and also mentions that a German-American was arrested in connection with the plot. However, nobody was ever charged with making or placing the bomb.)

(Former Ambassador to Germany, James W. Gerard, was quoted as making this statement. Perhaps this was an off-hand comment, but it garnered national attention in the press. He of course was wrong. It would be 17 months before the United States entered the war.)

(As the late, great, Paul Harvey would say "Here is a Strange.")

(The sinking of the Lancastria, on June 17, 1940, was one of the greatest disasters at sea of all time. It is estimated that 4,000 to 5,000 people were lost with the ship.

(The French ship Meknes, had over 1,300 people on board when it was attacked by two German Schnellboote, S-19 and S-27. It was a torpedo from Oberleutnant zur See Bernd Klug's S-27 which sank the ship. About 435 people were lost. Ironically, S-27 would become a victim of a German torpedo herself. On Sept. 5, 1942 a sister boat, S-72 (27 backwards) torpedoed and sank the boat in error.

Klug was also in command of the S-boats that attacked convoy CW-8, which is mentioned in the Lethbridge paper below.

Bernd Klug would figure in another tragic loss for the Allies, the attack on the ships of Exercise Tiger. On Apr. 28, 1944 a group of American LST's (Landing Ship Tanks) were in Lyme Bay rehearsing for the upcoming D-Day landings and were attacked by a group of S-Boats. Klug was the officer in command of the group. Two LST's, USS LST-507 and USS LST-531 were sunk, USS LST-289 was damaged. Almost 750 U.S. troops were killed.

Klug served in the Reichsmarine, the Kriegsmarine and finally as an Admiral in the Deutsche Marine. He died on June 15, 1975.)

(This report is about the attack on convoy CW-8, which lost 8 ships out of 25 over a period of two days. Five the first day were sunk by German Ju-87 "Stuka" dive bombers and three were sunk on the 26th by the 1st S-Boot Flotilla, under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Bernd Klug.)

(This report is also about the attack on convoy CW-8.)

(More evidence that the world knew what was happening to the Jews of Europe.)

(King George on the run.)

(England's fleet as a last resort.)

(The Reichsmark is the center of the currency in Europe.)
