Here's his recipe or powdered eggs for approximately 100 men: He takes two one-gallon cans of egg powder, pours in 16 cans of condensed milk and four quarts of water, mixes it up into a batter, then dips it out with a ladle and fries it in bacon grease. The result looks like a small yellow pancake.

Nazis Seen Desperate There was no indication what specific units of the American-bolstered home fleet took part in the action, but Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser was in command and this led to a belief that heavy ships were engaged. Years of work and planning by the Admiralty and the RAF were culminated in the sinking of the Scharnhorst. In the climactic battle was an indication that Hitler is growing desperate over the flow of Allied supplies to the Russian armies for only that would persuade him to have risked this speedy (29-knot) and heavily-gunned instrument of his elusive surface fleet.
It was believed possible In London that a British battleship of the King George class, which bear 10 14-inch guns as main batteries, was engaged. These warships are capable of a speed of 30 knots. 'Hiding In Allen Fjord I The Scharnhorst had been re-I ported hiding in Alten Fjord near the town of Hammerfest in Northern Norway for many months, and previous attempts by American and British naval forces to lure her and the giant Tirpitzwhich is rated at from 40.000 to 42,000 tonsfrom their Norwegian havens had been in vain. Last May an Allied fleet including American units, under Admiral Fraser, cruised between North Cape and Bear Island, below Spitsbergen, in an effort to get a crack at the German ships, but the enemy commanders kept their craft in Alten Fjord. It was not disclosed whether American units were with the British this time.

The Scharnhorst, Tirpitz, and the pocket battleships Luetzow and Admiral Scheer were believed to have taken part in a German naval attack against the Allied garrison on Spitsbergen early last September. The death of the Scharnhorst reduced Germany's naval strength to 1 a new low, almost to the vanishing point in military effectiveness.
Ad-Aral Sir William James, chief of I British naval information, in his October recapitulation following the damaging of the Tirpitz said: "The Admiral Graf Spee and Bismarck have been sunk. The Gneisenau probably is oUt of action for good. The ScharniThrst, Luetzow, Admiral Scheer. Prinz Eugen and the Admiral IIipper have all been damaged more or less severely." Information available then was that the cruiser Admiral Hipper had been written off for the duration, being laid up in a Baltic port. ThO-Prinz Eugen was said to have been converted into a training ship.
The Gneisenau was reported being used as an anti-aircraft training school at the Baltic port of Gdynia; the Luetzow was declared undergoing repairs, and the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin also was said to be in a Baltic port in need of months of reconditioning. Sank Carrier Glorious, Before taking shelter in Brest, the elusive Scharnhorst was damaged by the British Battle Cruiser in a running fight off the Norwegian coast in April, 1940. Teamed with the Gniesenau, she sank the British Aircraft Carrier Glorious off Norway June 9, 1940, the Allies their worst blow at sea up to that time. The Admiralty announced 1074 officers and were missing from the Glorious and 130 were known dead. Admiral Fraser, leader of the forces which sent the Scharnhorst to her Arctic grave, is 55 years old and is known as one of the Royal Navy's greatest experts on air-sea strategy.
Since Admiral Fraser formerly served as captain on the Carrier Glorious, the action against the German battleship was gratifying revenge for him. IA bachelor, Fraser lives while .4 ashore with his 87-year-old mother, who is seriously ill at her Surrey home. She was not awakened tonight to be told of her son's success, but the housekeeper said, "Though she is weak when she awakens we shall break the news to her. I'm sure she will be greatly cheered by it."
