My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

For Adolf's 56th Birthday
From the April 22, 2020, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"Adolf Hitler, the defeated dictator, passed his 56th, and probably last birthday today. There was no celebration in his dying empire for the most hunted man in history.
"The only victory salutes came from the guns of the Allied armies closing in on him from the east and west."
He was born April 20, 1889 and died April 30, 1945.
Near End-Game for Adolf. --GreGen
