EDITORIAL #7 – Summer 1942 - Light the Torch!

The Allied Powers are moving.  An Allied Operative reports hints of an “Operation Torch” and that America is on the move getting ready to hit hard in the Pacific and in the Atlantic Theaters.  While their initial attack locations are yet unknown, we believe that America will first strike the South Pacific in Guadalcanal and in the Atlantic – North Africa to take on Erwin Rommel and the German Afrika Korps.

In the East, the Germans are trying to gain what they call Lebenstraum or “living space”  by pushing against the Soviet Armies in Stalingrad.  Blood is flowing through the streets on both sides as the Russians are frantically trying to reinforce their armies and are sending wave upon wave against German machine gunners.  The youth of the Red Army are fighting out of the ruins of their city.  Now that winter is upon us, the Germans are freezing every night.  Their tanks are malfunctioning, their rifles are binding up, and they are feeling the wrath of Stalin for the first time since the beginning of Operation Barbarossa  

The Daily Mirror believes this to be delightful news!  For once, the British find themselves with two powerful allies.  We are alone no more!  However, I also have some concerns.  Is American powerful enough to fight a war on two fronts successfully? 

Much blood is to be shed, fellow citizens.  Much.
