Nazis Claim Germany Attacked By US in Sea Incidents
Berlin reports Germany officially declared the United States attacked Germany in incidents with the destroyers Greer and Kearny. The statement, issued from Hitler’s headquarters, counters President Roosevelt’s neutrality position and cites German submarines firing torpedoes at the Kearny on Oct 16 17 southwest of Iceland. It also asserts the Kearny engaged a German convoy and defended itself, while the Greer was pursued and depth-charged by a German U-boat before the torpedo attack.
