If you wouldn’t mind, could you expand a bit on who the Hiwi were and your grandfather’s wartime experience?

The Shangri-La is launched. At first blush it seems to be a departure from the custom of naming the big fleet carriers for famous battles. But was it? When Roosevelt was asked where the bombers came from that hit Tokyo in the Doolittle raid, he replied, “Shangri-La.”

My chronology shows Saipan hit in 1944.

Very interesting!

My error. I thought Saipan, Guam and Okinawa were all in 1945.

Saipan and Guam were in 1944.

Good afternoon.

As I have said before, you do good work.

Thanks.

The more I read this study of history, the more parallels I see between 0bama and FDR.

From a Marxist/Socialist democRAT viewpoint, each has/had their war, and the ends justify the means.

Constitution? We don't need no stinkin' constitution...
