U S Extends Neutrality Patrol as Britain Aid Rushes
The United States expands its neutrality patrol to safeguard aid to Britain amid growing Anglo-German tensions. Congress shows mixed views on convoys with a Senate vote of 50 to 45 in favor, while Tobey’s measure to forbid convoying faces broad Republican opposition. World events unfold as Greece falls to Nazi forces after stiff British defenses at Thermopylae Pass and Mount Geraneia. The Greek government flees Athens as Crete becomes the next focus of the war. Lindbergh resigns from the U S Army Air Corps Reserve citing concerns over loyalty remarks and mounting political pressure.
