Have you made sure that the intake of air to Admiralty basement is secure? Are there alternative intakes in case of the present one being damaged by a bomb? What would happen in the case of fire in the courtyard?
There seem to be heaps of rubbish, timber, and other inflammable material lying about, not only in the courtyard, but in some of the rooms underneath them. All unnecessary inflammable material should be removed forthwith.
Winston S. Churchill, The Gathering Storm
interesting bit on the dog. the belgians killing dogs because people are on rations. different times thats for sure.
as for the Finns, look out below.
Interesting how focused they are on the pocket battleships. And their analysis of their comparable firepower and speed to HOOD, etc. is odd. Both SCHARNHORST and GNIESENAU could run with the Brits, and each had nine 11” guns to the DEUTSCHLAND class’ six.
Would have been much more interesting if the Germans had upgunned the battlecruisers to 15” guns as they’d planned.

I wish there were an easier way to cut and paste.
I thought the following was interesting:
“Today incidentally is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the newspaper Popolo d’Italia by Signor Mussolini, who wrote an editorial that day headed “Audacity.” Today it is the leading Fascist newspaper, which all good Fascists are expected to read. Signor Mussolini still frequently writes editorials for it, but always anonymously.”
