Lots of interesting items in today’s paper. I noticed that they mentioned that Chamberlain was down after having surgery. Not a lot of detail as to what his condition is.

I had to laugh when I read the article on the First Army maneuvers. With the mechanized vehicles having the sirens to simulate Stuka bombers. What it seems like they are practicing is the ability of infantry to fend off an attack from an ambulance brigade.

The article states that the sirens are not intended to simulate diving Stukas, but only to alert the infantry so they can get out of the way of the vehicles. I'm not sure that feature will find its way into actual combat. Assuming there will be actual combat.
