The U.S. Army made the first successful out of atmosphere rocket launch by the U.S.
The rocket, a Bumper-WAC was a two staged rocked based on the German V-2.
Transjordan and the UK signed the Treaty of London giving Transjordan its independence with the UK retaining military bases in the country.
Cardinal Clemens von Galen, the great Catholic German cleric, died at age 68 from appendicitis. He had only been made a cardinal the prior month. He had been a fearless opponent of the Nazis. To some degree, it's hard not to put him in the category of men who died shortly after World War Two after having struggled so mightily during it.
Von Galen is sort of a model of our own time. He was very German but loyal to higher things. He came from German nobility but served the Church, and he wasn't afraid to confront the barbarity of the Nazi regime.
