     Extractions: Revelations from the Russian Archives WORLD WAR II: ALLIANCE Despite deep-seated mistrust and hostility between the Soviet Union and the Western democracies, Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 created an instant alliance between the Soviets and the two greatest powers in what the Soviet leaders had long called the "imperialist camp": Britain and the United States. Three months after the invasion, the United States extended assistance to the Soviet Union through its Lend-Lease Act of March 1941. Before September 1941, trade between the United States and the Soviet Union had been conducted primarily through the Soviet Buying Commission in the United States.

149. Farewell To The China Boats
     Reports of a three week voyage in lifeboats in world war ii and photographs of cargo liners, especially Blue Funnel, and life at sea in the sixties.  
     http://www.pentredu.freeserve.co.uk/
     
     Extractions: I don't think that any of the thousands of us who plied the world's trade routes in the conventional cargo liners of the British Merchant Navy in the forties, fifties and sixties ever dreamed that within a generation our way of life would cease to exist as the trade moved into containerships. As a memorial to the last days of the break bulk cargo ships I offer a few pictures of them and life aboard them, mostly taken in the sixties in what were, to me, the early days of 35mm colour slide photography. The pictures are sized to fit an 800 x 600 screen. I was in the Blue Funnel Line and most of the pictures reflect that. The Glen Line and Shire ships were part of the fleet. During World War 2 the liner trades were suspended and ships of the Merchant Navy went where they were directed by the Ministry of War Transport. On one such voyage the Blue Funnel ship Rhexenor, carrying an innocuous cargo of cocoa from West Africa to Canada, was torpedoed and sunk. Nothing sufficiently dramatic to attract the attention of the media of the day, just a run of the mill, routine sinking. Nevertheless, I believe that the reports on their three weeks in open lifeboats, written at the time by some of the officers, are worthy of preservation so I include them here.

     Extractions: WELCOME TO THE U.S.S. BAYA SS-318 HOME PAGE U.S.S. BAYA (SS-318) "LYING TO" Gulf of Siam, South China Sea 1945 Submitted by Commander Ben Jarvis This page was first started in July 2000 as a tribute to my late Grandfather, Horace Gary Keith, who served as a QM3 on the Baya from her commissioning until she returned to San Francisco after the war. However, over the past year I have come to realize that this tribute should extend further. I have received many emails and letters from those who served on the Baya during the war, from family members of those who served during World War II and are now on their last patrol, and from those who served onboard at other times during her 28 years of honorable service. At this time, the main focus of this page is on the Baya's service in World War II, but I am expanding it to include her post war service. I have been to the National Archives in College Park, Maryland and have looked through her Deck Logs. I will be going back in the near future because there is so much more I want to take from those pages and list here. I have also had the pleasure to speak with Benjiman Jarvis who was the skipper of the Baya on her last three war patrols and ask him questions about the Baya's action in WW2. Please be patient with me. I have not had a lot of time to dedicate to this project, but it is always on my mind. Thank you for all those wonderful emails and please keep them coming.

154. Nauru: A Middle Ground During World War II - April 3, 2000
     Nauru's involvement in world war ii.  
     http://166.122.164.43/archive/2000/April/04-03-19.htm
     
     Extractions: NAURU: A MIDDLE GROUND DURING WORLD WAR II By Jack D. Haden HONOLULU, Hawai‘i (March/April 2000 – Pacific Magazine)—During World War II, many islands in the Pacific became household names as the Japanese surged through the region, with the Americans in hot pursuit. Newsreels in movie houses around the world screened footage of battles and hoisting of victory flags on islands such as Tarawa, Guadalcanal, New Guinea, Iwo Jima, Peleliu, Kwajalein, Saipan and Guam. The islands received their notoriety mainly due to the high number of casualties that were part of the price of those victories. However, many other islands also were greatly affected by the war and suffered many hardships even though they received scant mention in the news. Nauru is one such island that went through the pain and isolation of war that inflicted a heavy toll on the indigenous population and devastation to the land itself. It may come as a surprise to many that Nauru lays claim to being one of the few places in the world that was attacked by both the Germans and Japanese during the war. German raiders, disguised as Japanese merchant ships, operated out the Caroline and Marshall Islands before the war between Japan and the United States began.
