Battleship saves convoy from attack
Saturday, March 8, 1941 www.onwar.com
In the North Atlantic... Convoy SL-67 escapes attack from the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau because the battleship Malaya is present. Hitler has ordered that no risk of damage to the ships is to be run if this can be avoided.
In Washington... The Lend-Lease Bill is passed by the Senate by 60 votes to 13.
