Hitler Announces Expanded Red Sea Zone Exploits
In a wartime broadcast, Hitler extended a Red Sea danger zone to include waters from Suez to the Tropic of Cancer, with Saudi coastal waters exempted. U S observers say the move should not derail Washington’s plan to supply Suez, as Roosevelt had reopened the Red Sea to U S ships for neutral deliveries. Luftwaffe bombers and mine-laying aircraft are now expected to operate further south, following a meeting with Nazi leaders labeled the Hess case in coverage.
