A Holliman Joins the U.S. Navy.... Autumn 1941 Below, German infantry in the Soviet Union, 1941 
By November 1941, the Soviet armies and cold weather finally slowed the mighty German army in front of Leningrad and Moscow. Casualties were monumental on both sides. By late autumn, Germany, which already occupied with Italy most of Europe, had driven deep into Russia. In North Africa, the German and Italian Armies threatened the British protectorate of Egypt and the Suez Canal, the life line to the British Empire in Asia. In the Pacific, a Japanese fleet of aircraft carriers prepared to sail as relations between the Emperor's military government and the Roosevelt administration neared a breaking point. In late November, based on decoded radio intercepts, the War Department issued a 'war warning' to U.S. forces in the Pacific. For the United States, events were moving to a tragic climax. Rather than take the Army draft, Bishop Holliman of Irondale, Alabama, a student at Birmingham-Southern College, decided to join the U.S. Navy. November 13, 1941, his parents, Ulyss and Pearl, brother Ralph and brother-in-law Robert Daly, Vena Hollman Daly and Mary Daly saw him climb aboard the Seaboard in Birmingham and take the train to Norfolk. Bishop's war began at the Naval Training Station in southeast Virginia. Below, the young Bishop Holliman as a Navy trainee as the nation approached Pearl Harbor.
