American gunboat bombed in China

Wednesday, July 30, 1941 www.onwar.com

In China... The US gunboat Tutiula is damaged by an attack by Japanese bombers in Chungking. Japan apologizes for the incident but it does nothing to ease the strained relations between the US and Japan.

In the Arctic... Planes from the British Home Fleet carriers Victorious and Furious attack German shipping and installations near Kirkenes and Petsamo. Little dame is done and 15 of the 57 attacking aircraft are lost to antiaircraft fire and German fighters.

whittle engine is jet?

at this point, i believe the germans knew they were in trouble in russia.i read a couple first hand accounts and by now the officers on the front line know that the pre war estimates of russian strength were wildly off. they have underestimated russian manpower by over 150 divisions. german equipment is starting to break down and the vastness of russia is now both behind and in front of them.

was it ever shown that nomura knew about the impending attack on pearl harbor during this time?
