November 6 - 7, 1942:
- "One thousand Jews in Drancy, France, spend the night on a railroad siding crammed into boxcars.
After the train departs for Auschwitz, two Jews squeeze to safety after bars in a small window are loosened; See November 8, 1942."
" 'The Jewish Plot' implicates the three powers aligned against Germany--the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union--as pawns of the 'international Jewish conspiracy.'
To the left of 'Baruch' is a list of Jews labeled as 'trusted' aides of U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.
To the right of 'Moses-Sohn' is a caption that says, 'The majority of leading officials within the Soviet Union are Jews!
Out of 503 government officials, 406 are Jews!' "

- "Things are looking up. It is calmer and the wind has fallen to about 20 miles and is northeast, which is O.K. The forecast is for a possible landing condition. The intercepts [of enemy messages] indicate that the French will fight." - George S. Patton
