...After crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the German U-boats began their assault on American shipping on Jan 12, 1942, when Captain Hardegan and his crew of the U-123 sunk the "Cyclops" off Nova Scotia, and the war entered New York waters on Jan 14, 1942, when the U- 123 sunk the"Norness" 60 miles off Montauk Point, Long Island. Bull. You need to find better sources. The Cyclops was a BRITISH ship, and the Norness was NORWEGIAN!!! If FDR hadn't been so anxious to fight a two-front world war, he could have kept us out of the European conflict. After all, Hitler wasn't an imminent threat to US. Right?
