Sunday, April 11, 1943. The Last To Eat

About says it all. By the way, as this was an Army publication, the watermark does nothing. You can't claim a government publication.

First flight of the Piasecki PV-2, the second successful American helicopter, of which a single example was made.

A person could do worse.

From Sarah Sundin's blog:

Today in World War II History—April 11, 1943: German Gen. Rudolf Schmidt is relieved of command of Second Panzer Army when his brother is arrested. US II Corps takes Kairouan, Tunisia and its airfield.

Schmidt would endure a courts-martial, but be acquitted. Afterwards he was transferred to the reserves and never called back to active duty. He was arrested after the war by the Soviets and imprisoned, spending most of the rest of his life in Soviet captivity.

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!
