Due to the expanding amount of news I need to prepare for posting and the demands of my regular day job I am forced to curtail my excerpting from outside sources for the time being. I still plan to post from a new source that other readers might not have available, but any excerpts from “At Dawn We Slept,” “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,” Churchill’s histories, and others will have to come from you all. I feel it is both educational and entertaining to have more complete and often more accurate later accounts of our continuing story presented to balance this “first draft of history,” as perceived by the New York Times.

And thanks to everyone for the enormous contributions you already make. This project wouldn't work without your participation.

New Zealanders approaching Tobruk
Wednesday, November 26, 1941 www.onwar.com

In North Africa... The German panzer divisions engage in attacks on British position around Cauzzo and Sid Azeiz. British forces are regrouping in the Sidi Rezegh area and the New Zealand infantry is moving toward Tobruk. In response to this information, Rommel begins to move his tanks forces back in that direction.

From London... General Cunningham is relieved of command of the British 8th Army. General Ritchie will replace him, with the British Commander in Chief Auchlinleck overseeing tactical control.

From the Washington... President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull decide to present a 10 point note to the Japanese Government requiring their withdrawal from Indochina and China, and their recognition of the Chinese Nationalist Government. The tone of the note is uncompromising on these points, but promises to negotiate new trade and raw material agreements.

From Japan... The Japanese carrier force leaves its bases for Hawaii.

I hope this doesn't mean the NYT articles are coming to an end?
