The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Pearl Harbor's Mysteries-- Part 3: The Mysterious New Yorker Ad

3.  THE MYSTERIOUS NEW YORKER AD THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A WARNING.

On November 22, 1941, there were several odd advertisements in the publication for a dice game called "The Deadly Double."  They had headlines "Actung, Warning, Alert."  "Actung" being a German word.

Other ads about the game were in the magazine, including one that showed a pair of dice with the numbers 12 and 7 showing, December 7?
