Getting closer to the truth!
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today that there was some evidence that Adolf Hitler had died of a brain hemorrhage instead of a hero’s death in battle as the nazis claimed.
Eisenhower said the enemy claim that Hitler died fighting the Russians in Berlin was “in contradiction of facts” given by Heinrich Himmler at a conference with Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden at Luebeck eight days ago.

How are you going to answer this boy? …
Speak up. Speak up… above the splatter of sharp steel against the deck of his ship. Speak up… above the scream of dive bombers hurtling toward his battle station…
Speak up! He has a right to know!
Are you helping man the battle stations BACK HOME? Are you doing all you can to keep the country he’s willing to DIE for, a country worth LIVING for?
