World's Press News, English counterpart of the U.S. Editor & Publisher, asked London editors to tell what they considered the most frantic night's work they had had in four years of war. The news that caused the work:

1) The end of the Nazi battleship Bismarck after it had sunk H.M.S. Hood; 2) Rudolf Hess's flight to Scotland; 3) Nazi invasion of Russia; 4) Pearl Harbor; 5) Allied invasion of North Africa; 6) the Red Army's defense of Sevastopol; 7) the Dieppe raid; 8) the boarding of the Nazi prison ship Altmark and the rescue of its prisoners; 9) the British Eighth Army's drive from El Alamein; 10) the London fire blitz.

Notable omission: Dunkirk. Reason: it was dragged out over two weeks and could not be printed until the evacuation was complete.
