"Over There, General"

War on the Western Desert-in California
To prepare his “Afrika Korps” for desert fighting, Germany’s field
marshall Erwin Hommel had to resort to such improvisations as sun
lamps and hot-boxes, but when Uncle Sam wants to stage a preview of
war in the desert, he does as Hollywood does—he goes “on location” in
a desert of his own, in California. Out at Indio, California, a group
of desert raiders from an armored division practice the desert panzer
tactics which are their specialty—breaking through to the rear of the
enemy lines to raid, kill, and disrupt communications, and in general
raise havoc. They call themselves “Gage’s Gangsters,” after Lt. John
B. Gage of Cleveland, who is their leader. |

FIRST PHOTOS OF TORPEDOED USS KEARNY
Here are the first pictures of the U.S. Destroyer Kearny after it was
torpedoed on Oct. 16-17 some 350 miles southwest of Iceland. Navy
Secretary Frank Knox revealed the Kearny, escorting a convoy, received
distress signals from another convoy under attack from several German
subs. Speeding to help, the crack Destroyer was torpedoed. The blast
killed eleven men and injured ten. Photo shows members of the Kearny
crew inspecting the twisted wreckage below decks after the ship had
put in at port which the Navy would not identify.
