Wednesday, November 8, 1944. Mystery of explosions resolved. Canadians prevail on the Scheldt.

Joseph Goebbels announced the V-2 rocket campaign for the first time. 

Churchill then did the same.

As V-2s came in so fast, they were largely silent, so this resolved a mystery concerning sudden large explosions.

The Canadian Army prevailed in the Battle of the Scheldt.

M4s that became stuck when firing from stationary positions due to sudden flood, France.  November 4, 1944.

The U.S. Army crossed the Seille and captured Nomony.

9th Army LVT in Europe.  I had no idea the LVT was used in the ETO.

High scoring Luftwaffe pilot Walter Nowotny was killed when his ME262 went down.  It's unclear if he was shot down or if the jet caught fire on its own.

The USS Growler was sunk by Japanese ships west of the Philippines.

Last edition:

Tuesday, November 7, 1944. Roosevelt wins a fourth term.
