D-Day in France was in 1944. By June 1945 the war in Europe was over (ran until August in the Pacific). Ed |

Well, I am blaming my typo on my keyboard.
Of course it was June 6,1941.How could I forget that? I was born on November 5,1941 and I was told it was so bad World War Two broke out a month later. cuhulin |

It's an unwritten Usenet rule that each article correcting other articles' misteaks has to include at least one misteak of its own. Pity, I can't even claim my fingers are fat. |

> I don't mean to be contrary, but I think you mean June 6, 1945. Forty-FOUR, if you mean the Normandy invasion. By June 6, 1945, the Allies had won in Europe and most of the boss Nazis had been in jail or Hell for several weeks. (The date does apparently have a war related claim to fame, though -- according to some sources, that's when Soviet troops in occupied Germany found what really was Hitler's body, after a previous case of mistaken identity.) --Joe |

France falls May/June of 1940. Japan drags US into war by bombing Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Allies invade France on June 6, 1944. Germany Surrenders May 7/ May 8, 1945. Japan surrenders Aug 15 (Japan) / Aug 14 (US), 1945 after we nuked them twice. Ed |

George Hayduke wrote some books.Such as, The Book of Dirty Tricks and a
few other books.I used to have a Book of Dirty Tricks book here.There is an article in the book where he said there was a German prison at the Germany and Polish border and the people who ran that prison dressed up some Geman prisoners in Polish uniforms and they injected some skopedal (I think that is the way it is spelled in that book, skopedal, a drug) into some of the Geman prisoners (dressed in Polish uniforms) and the prison set them free.The prisoners started attacking the prison and the prison guard people fired on the prisoners. I dont know if that is true or not. cuhulin |

It used to be. Political correctness I guess. |
