Because it wouldn't make sense to put it in Breaking News.

This week, I didn’t do too well on the news quiz. Out of 29 possible answers, I missed nine, for a grade of D+.

"The majority of Jews in Dvinsk, Latvia, are murdered."

"These Jews, confined to a German work camp in Occupied Russia, chisel the mortar off the bricks of destroyed buildings.
As the Germans made their way through the Soviet Union, they wrought such havoc that many structures had to be rebuilt from scratch, often making use of the materials left in the Wehrmacht's wake."

October 5, 1941

"Wilhelm Kube was a Nazi official who was appointed Generalkommissar of Belorussia in 1941.
One of the earliest members of the Nazi Party, Kube was a Nazi deputy in the Weimar Republic's Reichstag before Hitler's ascension to power in 1933.
A political figure to the end, Kube opposed SS deportations and mass murder because he didn't want more Jews brought into his area.
He was assassinated by a Russian partisan disguised as a housemaid in September 1943."

Headline: NAZIS DISILLUSION 3 BALTIC NATIONS

"Pro-Hitlerite Officials Jailed by Liberators -- Pillage by Germans Reported

"FORCED LABOR DEMANDED

"Diplomats Here See Indication of Hitler's Plans for All the Countries He Invades..."

By Frank L Kluckhohn

"Persons 16 to 60 are being registered by the German Labor Office so they may be put to 'suitable employment.'
Those suspected of being anti-German cannot get food."

Last paragraph:

"The Jews of the Baltic States, according to these advices, are as badly treated as were those in Poland, where the German advance was contested."

Can anyone think of another example of such understated, non-report reporting?

The article on the Baltic states is by Frank Kluckhohn who would serve under President Eisenhower in the State Department and then write a book excoriating the Kennedy administration entitled America: Listen! (Derby, Conn.: Monarch, 1961).

If I'm not mistaken he will get some experience as a war correspondent before he enters the political arena.

EGYPT: British military leaders have devised a plan to hit back at Rommel and the DAK. The Allied enclave at Tobruk will be the prime target of Operation Crusader.

Brereton briefed by Marshall, Gerow, Arnold, and Spaatz. Brereton stated “in the event of war it was almost certain to incur destruction of a bomber force put in the Philippine Islands without providing adequate antiaircraft defense”; Marshall responded that he and Arnold were taking a “calculated risk”. Brereton was to state, after the War, that, “[T]he lessons of the War in Europe were being completely ignored in placing a heavy bomber force in the Philippines without adequate protection.” (Marc James Small)

CARIBBEAN SEA: The Canadian Paterson Steamships Co. merchantman Mondoc (1,926 GRT) sank in the Caribbean Sea after she struck an unknown submerged object, probably Darien Rock, off the east coast of Trinidad.

There were no survivors from this incident. (Dave Shirlaw)

ATLANTIC OCEAN: U-565 is attacked by an aircraft. One bomb hit the deck, but it was a dud and rolled off into the water. (Dave Shirlaw)
