In the 50s and early 60s, we were immersed in American History which is almost gone from the schools' cirriculum, these days.

Yes, and some of us are old enough to remember that there was a German u-boat on its way to Japan when the war ended. They had a load of U-234 uranium oxide onboard to be used in the Japanese dirty bomb attack on San Francisco. The Japanese aircraft and subs were alrady in place awaiting the u-234 arrival when we dropped the bomb. We missed getting nuked by two weeks.
