From the Chicago Tribune "On July 20..."
73 Years Ago yesterday.
July 20, 1944: An attempt by a group of German officials to assassinate Adolf Hitler with a bomb failed as the explosion at Hitler's Rastenburg headquarters only wounded the Nazi leader.
July 20, 1944: President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated for an unprecedented fourth term of office at the democratic convention in Chicago.
Four years earlier he had been nominated for an unprecedented third term of office.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
