The rebilletting is still in a mess. (Lybian & Russian situations OK. We are using a new improved anti-tank weapon?)

8 Jul 1942, Ella Buuck's wartime diary Posted: 03 Jul 2012 01:45 AM PDT Book / Document:  Ella Buuck's wartime diary Date of events described:  Wed, 1942-07-08 It was a hot night. The fans stopped working in the dining room while we were eating and we just about passed out. Many planes flew over us, 61 in all, Lorenz said, also claims they dropped bombs near Singapore. We are anchored 30 miles out. Don't know whose planes they were.
