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.

The Fall of Berlin and Death of Hitler


From the May 6, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1945. 75 Years Ago, as the War in Europe Was in Its Final Days.

"Hans Fritsche, Goebbel's deputy propaganda chief,  told Red Army troops who captured him that Hitler, Goebbels and General Kreb had killed themselves in the final hours of the Battle of Berlin.

"Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said all evidence at hand indicated that Hitler had died of a brain hemorrhage.  The German radio version of Hitler's death was that he 'fell' a hero  directing the defense of Berlin."

Either Way, Hitler Was Gone.  --GreGen
