Convoy attackers go undetected

Friday, September 20, 1940 www.onwar.com

In the North Atlantic... The convoy HX-72 is successfully attacked by a U-boat group over the course of a three day period. Altogether 12 ships of 78,000 tons are sunk, seven of them during the night of September 21-22 by Schepke’s U-100 without him even being detected by the convoy escorts.

The 1941 Lincoln’s look great in that ad.

"Roosevelt Passes Willkie in Survey – 10"

Again worth noting that 11 states of the Old Confederacy -- which combined account for half the electoral college vote he needs -- are giving Roosevelt their support by an average margin of 80% to 20%.

The Deep South is going for FDR by 87% on average.

By contrast, Wilkie's support all comes from northern and mid-western states.

One can only wonder: what was it our normally conservative, patriotic and anti-big government Southerners saw and liked in a New York elitist like Franklin Roosevelt?
