Lex Anteinternet: Saturday, June 27, 1942 The White Rose.

Monday, June 27, 2022

Saturday, June 27, 1942 The White Rose.

Weiße Rose, or in English White Rose, began distributing its anti-Nazi pamphlets in Munich.

Comprised principally, but not exclusively of students, it was heavily inspired by Catholic thought, although not all of its members were Catholic.

Winston Churchill arrived back in the United Kingdom and a joint statement was issued on the results of the recent Washington Conference.

It was another day of much German submarine activity, but it also saw the USS Nautilus sink a Japanese minesweeper just 60 miles sought of Tokyo Bay.

USS Nautilus.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
