Once I read about the sinking of ZamZam by the raider Atlantis.
Interesting to read about its disappearance in a newspaper, puts it into the perspective of the day.

One additional item for today.
Today Franz Halder had a meeting with the commander of the Replacement Army, Colonel-General Fritz Fromm to outline the limitations for personnel in the upcoming operation BARBAROSSA.
Halder notes in this meeting that he expects 275,000 casualties on the initial Soviet border battles and a further 200,000 casualties by the end of September. With an existing replacement army reported by Fromm of only 385,000 men with 90,000 earmarked for the Luftwaffe, Halder knew he wouldn’t have enough men to maintain forces after September.
