April 1945

Today is ironically April 20th, the day that Hitler was born. April 20th, 1889.

In 1945, Hitler ended up committing suicide 10 days after his birthday on April 30th, 1945. Two days later on May 2nd, 1945 Berlin surrendered and the war in Europe was finished.

This still left the war in the Pacific theatre to be won….

What a way to start the 56th year of your life, huh?
