The last entry on the World War II Day-By-Day Blog occurred on this day, ten years ago.
Day 1120 September 24, 1942
The blog was excellent, and we've drawn from it as a source here frequently.
Comments on the blog trailed on for some time after that, but have stopped updating.
Something happened. There was no indication at all the blog would be shut down, and none of the comments that were put up were replied to. The fact that comments were put up for almost two years suggests that somebody continued to monitor it, as spam comments did not appear.
These blogs are put up by people, most of whom do this as labors of love. This blog demonstrated a colossal amount of labor going into it. The sudden end of the blog likely means the death or severe health crisis of the author.
Some blogs disappear that way.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
