        Overview

        This issue opens with Britain’s dockworkers grafting to shift cargo that made it through a German blockade of British merchant shipping. Their efforts provide an invaluable lifeline to a home front heavily reliant on imports to sustain the fight against fascism. There is also a feature on cartoonist David Low’s appreciation for Soviet Russian animation.
