No news from Stalingrad today. Huh, not much happening there I guess.
American troops in Belgian Congo? I got out my Cram’s Atlas of the world, and the Belgian Congo is thousands of miles away from any action. Why send troops there? (wink wink; I don’t think they are there to fight Germans, not directly anyway).
I see several intriguing articles on the front page shot that I didn't copy for posting. One of the is "Nazis Said to Drain East Front of Men." That article might have included general news from Stalingrad. On days with a whole bunch of important stories I struggle with what to save and what to omit. In this case I opted for the Guadalcanal story over the East Front story.
Belgian Congo had copper and Uranium mines that the US needed.
