Saturday, May 20, 1944. Dismantling a V-2

 US troops captured Gaeta and Itri.

Forces of the Polish resistance recovered a German V-2 rocket which they would dismantle and ship to the UK for analysis.  The rocket had landed near the Bug River in a test flight.

The Communist Party USA dissolved and voted to continue as the Communist Political Association.  Apparently it got over it, as there's still a Communist Party USA.  They did not run a candidate for the Oval Office in 1944.

Last prior edition:

Friday, May 19, 1944. Dewey take the GOP nomination.
