The Deadly Double
On Nov 22, 1941, 2 weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbour, the New Yorker Magazine ran this strange ad. It showed people hiding in a bomb shelter, with the words “Achtung, Warning, Alerte!” and promoted a dice game called The Deadly Double.
Except the picture shows two dice with the numbers 12 and 7. As it turns out, the game never existed and we all know now that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour on 12/7/1941. Was it a warning?
