Seventy Years Ago



No, that's not a reference to a Twila Paris song...


Today (9/1/09) marks the 70th anniversary of Germany's invastion of Poland, which sparked World War II. The maps featured with this posting are scans of actual newspaper Londaon clippings I acquired in the early 1980's and have scrapbooked away.


It is also the 20th anniversary of a certain college sophomore being the only person in a class of about 700 who knew the significance of this date at that time, which was of course the 50th anniversary.


Remember me, Dr. Hess? (No, not Rudolf)
