Leningrad resists German assault
Saturday, May 15, 1943 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... A minor German attack in the Leningrad area fails to make any progress.

In the Aleutian Islands... An American attack at Massacre Bay fails. A second effort to the north makes some progress although with casualties from friendly fire as well as Japanese resistance.

In Moscow... The Soviet leadership decides to dissolve the Comintern. In part, this decision is aimed at influencing opinion in Britain and the United States.

In Burma... British General Slim is appointed to command the 14th Army. Generals Irwin and Lloyd have been relieved.

In Washington... The Trident Conference continues.

Why is Churchill Horing the Home Guard? Haven’t they given enough?

From Baldwin’s article:

“[T]he Arabs live in a feudal world much as they did a thousand years ago. They are depressed, disease ridden, poor, decadent.”

You think maybe their religion has something to do with this? The only difference today is they have petrodollars thanks to oil and gas exploration. Once they’ve squandered the oil money, it will be a return to normal.
