RE: The bra ad, “You’ll put your eye out!
Probably because the Jewish lover was male.
And yes, I know that Cramm had several wives. The two things aren't mutually exclusive.
Former Crown Prince Georg dies after crossing the Nazis while serving as a Jesuit priest. Was it a drowning? A heart attack? In any event, let’s label it ‘natural causes’ and move on. I do feel sorry for the woman he left standing at the altar.
That Franciscan poverty thing proved a bit much, and he switched to the Jesuits.
Yep, that’s the one .. thanks again !
LOL, I missed it, but going back to see, noticed the nearby article saying: as of "today", May 1943, US losses totalled 80,000.
Of those about 30% were Navy, Marines & Coast Guard, while 70% were Army (including air forces) -- no surprise there.
What's surprising is to see that both Navy and Army reported nearly 50% of all losses were "missing".
What can that mean?
"Missing" as in captured might explain Army numbers from the Philippines, but what about Navy/Marines?
Where did over 12,000 go "missing"?
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about today’s news is that a journalist, Guy Bettany, alerted the government about a useful military tactic, almost as if he wanted his side to win. Now that the journalists are all credentialed and objective, such a thing is hard to imagine.
They lived pretty high on the hog in our POW camps. A lot of them stayed on or returned after the war.
Re Missing:
Ships sunk and no bodys found...The Philippines..Guam..Wake Island...North Africa....Troop ships sunk....Airplanes not returning to base....Submarines not returning.
After a sinking, everybody except the confirmed dead are missing.
