Germans occupy Sedan

Sunday, May 12, 1940 www.onwar.com

On the Western Front... The French 7th Army advancing into Holland is engaged with the German advance near Tilburg and is thrown back. In their main armored thrust the Germans enter Sedan without a fight. The French forces in the area retire to the left bank of the Meuse River where they have substantial artillery support deployed to deny the crossing to the Germans. During the night, French artillery shells Sedan. Meanwhile, other German armored forces reach the Meuse farther north.

I think Luxembourg’s 700-man army might rule the day!

"President’s Speech Pro-War, Says Thomas – 12"

I've been looking for a report on President Roosevelt's "Pro-War" speech -- did I miss it, or did the "Fair and Balanced" New York Times report the anti-FDR Socialist's comments, without reporting on the speech itself?

I've always wondered why FDR's many efforts to arouse the nation apparently had no effect before Pearl Harbor.

Could this be some of the reason?
