German engine trouble saves convoy

Wednesday, December 25, 1940 www.onwar.com

In the North Atlantic... The German cruiser Admiral Hipper meets and attacks a British troop convoy 700 miles west of Cape Finisterre. The escort for the convoy consists of three cruisers and the carriers Argus and Furious. In the engagement which develops, the British cruiser Berwick is hit but the Admiral Hipper is forced to withdraw to Brest with engine trouble, sinking only one ship on the way. This is the only return for a cruise lasting one month.

Merry Christmas! Ya Dork. LOL

I guess if WWII never took a break you ain’t going to either.

I very much appreciate your posts. Particularly, as I am sure it takes more work than the typical posts around here.

Looking forward to reading about the ex-slaves, brothers in Army and the Pope’s call on this day.

If you live in the Felton to Boulder Creek area, please stay safe. Especially with all this rain.

If you need anything let me know. I used live there and went through slides, fallen trees, etc.

Thinking about driving through Ben Lomond tomorrow to see the trees getting shredded by the San Lorenzo River and then heading over to Natural Bridges(well I guess not anymore, lol)

Have a Merry Christmas!

Oooops...My cat, Cody, just sent you his own message upon stepping on the keyboard.

He won’t tell me what it means, but I am sure it is something very loving since he is a loving cat.
