<p>Labor Day Weekend at the cottage, I picked up a copy of "Operation Drumbeat’, a book about the German U-Boat offensive against the Eastern seabord in early 1942, following our entry into WWII after Pearl Harbor.</p>
<p>The coverup and outright lies by the US Government, right up to President Roosevelt, and the defense establishment were shocking. They even hid the truth behind the cover of “national security.” The British intelligence community at Blechley Park told us the U-boats were coming and where they were and the US Navy did nothing about it. We took the attitude that those Brits can’t teach us anything.</p>
<p>It just goes to show, there is nothing new under the sun.</p>
