The war has not started badly for us. Our gains in the North were aided by the temerity of our Japanese foes, but even against the British we were successful with most of our objectives. The loss of most of Flottengruppe Essen was a blow, but cost the Royal Navy most of their support ships in that area. The Luftwaffe also took heavy losses among its Patrol Bomber formations, but new construction and revised tactics should remedy this situation. Our outlook is bright and new warships, full of well-trained and eager crew, leave our docks every week.
