minneapolitans react to the bombing of pearl harbor

The Minneapolis Journal of December 8, 1941 ran a photograph of Police Officer John Albrecht and a group of Minneapolitans with the following caption:

“Police Sergeant John Albrecht had some kibitzers when he bought a war extra at Sixth Street and Hennepin. “I think that we’ll lick ‘em good,” Albrecht said after scanning the headlines.  His audience agreed with him.  This scene was duplicated around every newsstand in the city when the war extra appeared”.
