“Davy Jones” Gets Another Nazi Sub (#1)
In a dramatic 27-hour battle “somewhere in the Atlantic, recently
another German sub was blasted to the bottom by planes from a U.S.
Navy escort carrier and three destroyers. It took 200 depth charges
and considerable shell fire from the “tin-cans” to bring about the
“kill.” Here, swinging about in a tight turn to avoid bombs and
shells, the U-boat (bottom, center in photo) streams thick, black
smoke from her conning tower from a shell hit. (Remainder of caption

Oh, Yeah?
ROME – Nazis claim that this photo shows stalwart Italian soldiers
marching through Rome, the city they will help the Germans defend
against Allied assault. The statement is reminiscent of other German
wishful thinking about their onetime Italian Allies.

Firing in Eternal City’s Streets
ROME—Although the Germans declared Rome an open city and assured the
Allies that all troops had been ordered to withdraw immediately, our
fighters met more than a little enemy resistance when they entered the
Eternal City. Here, as the boys fight their way to the heart of the
city, some soldiers lay flat in the street as a German tank burns in
background.
