Description

New Guinea. A copy of the booklet, Oxford Pamphlets of World Affairs distributed by the Australian Army Education Service, shared by US merchant seaman Lyle Sippel of Long Beach, California, and RAN Stoker L. Bathgate of Sydney, NSW, asks a question we all want answered, 'Can Germany stand the strain?', none more urgently than the men who keep Allied communication lines open on deadly dangerous seas. Confident expressions on Sippel and Bathgate suggest answer is that Germany can't.
