Soviets lose 250,000 men
Friday, May 29, 1942 www.onwar.com

Soviet soldiers captured by German forces [photo at link]

On the Eastern Front... The German forces (6th Army and 1st Panzer Army) close their encirclement west of the Donets River resulting in a Soviet loss of 250,000 men.

In North Africa... The Italian Trieste Division, fighting through British 150th Brigade, temporarily secure a critical life line for the Afrika Korps. The British armored attack around the Knightsbridge Road junction area fails to reach its objectives.

Headline: "STRIKE THREATENED BY 14,000 MILKMEN ON DELIVERIES CUT"

Who would ever disagree that the best way for 14,000 milkmen to save their jobs over the long-term, is to go on strike for more work.

You see, if they go on strike often enough, then in 25 or 50 years the children and grandchildren of these, ahem, milk deliverers, can still be working those jobs, right?

On the other hand, maybe these guys should be thinking about some new careers.
I understand there is a lot of hiring now in national defense.
