On This Day in History - September 16, 1942
September 16, 1942 #OTD World War II: Italian submarine Comandante Cappellini (Pictured) sighted her first lifeboat from British troop ship Laconia in the Atlantic Ocean at 0828 hours. Laconia, carrying many Italian prisoners of war, had been sunk by U-156. This lifeboat carried 50 British survivors, which appeared to be stocked with ample food and water, thus the Italian submarine moved on. At 1032 hours, she sighted a second lifeboat, carrying 84 British surivors (41 men, 18 women, and 25 children); the Italian commanding officer Marco Revedin spoke to the suvivors of the second lifeboat and purposed to take on the women and children, but the British survivors refused to board the Italian submarine, so the Italians moved on after providing them with some provisions. At 1653 hours, Comandante Cappellini sighted four more lifeboats, two of which were overloaded and were taking on water; Comandante Cappellini took on 49 of the 50 Italian survivors (one confused Italian refused to board and was left behind). Shortly after, 19 British and Polish survivors were spotted in the water, and they were also picked up.

Great Book
Read this and blown away by the little know history of what the U.S Army did in the Pacific in WW2. Can't recommend enough, good details and a lot of references to back up the complicated history of the U.S at that time.

History repeats itself
Democracy falls little by little. It's not a sudden change. I can't help but think about how hitler came to power in the democracy of Germany when thinking about the current state of America.
