In the Indian Ocean... The German pocket-battleship Admiral Graf Spee sinks the British tanker Africa Shell south of Madagascar.

Front page story, but not until day after tomorrow. And the attacker is not identified. Rumored to be "one of the three German pocket battleships." Rumors discounted by "experts."

Had Hitler carried through with his invasion of England in the fall of ‘40, would it have succeeded?
