Factory fighting in Stalingrad
Wednesday, October 7, 1942 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... In the city of Stalingrad, fierce close combat occurs in and around the Tractor Factory.

In the Solomon Islands... On Guadalcanal, US 1st Marine Division attacks toward the mouth of the Matanikau River. They are attempting to remove much of the Japanese artillery which is firing on Henderson Field airstrip.

From London... Britain and the United States announce the creation of a United Nations Commission into war crimes committed by the Axis powers. It becomes a condition of any armistice that war criminals are to be surrendered to be tried.

In the South Atlantic... Off the coast of South America, a pack of four German U-boats begin a campaign which will sink 170,000 tons of shipping within the next six weeks.

Did your dad get to see FDR? If so, did you ever hear any comments about FDR?

It’s a shame there was so much thievery going on. To get $45 bucks stolen has to be a staggering blow.
