Also in today’s news:
Hitler released the Barbarossa Directive (Document No. 97) which calls for the army to execute all civilians who ‘attack’ German soldiers. This order includes those who commit acts like distributing leaflets or refusing to follow German orders.
This order sets the stage for some of the more violent acts against the Soviet civilians committed by the Wehrmacht.

The little blurb at the bottom of panel 5 may answer a mystery I’ve wondered about for over a decade. I briefly met a guy in California on a couple of occasions whose last name was Hess, and he said he was somehow very closely related to THE Rudolf Hess. Unfortunately, I either didn’t ask or can’t remember the exact story. I’ll bet he’s descended from the man in the blurb, and is a nephew.
