The Battle of the Atlantic was a close run thing.

If Doenitz had started with the 300 U-Boats he advised, instead of the 56 he had, there is no telling how long Great Britain could have survived.

The ads give us insight into the economy of the time. It is interesting how relatively affordable New York City was in this period, which many consider the golden age of New York. The Pickwick Arms hotel is advertising rooms from nine dollars weekly, equivalent to perhaps 150 inflation adjusted 2011 dollars.

Interesting on P2 that New York has a "fusion" system similar to that in Chicago where hussein ran as both a Democrat and member of a socialist part.
