Default Operation Barbarossa

Was 75 years ago today.
Now, I know that because that was the day I was born....
When the nurse told my mother, she replied"Who cares!"
I was her first born...

Happy Birthday!

It's nice to have a historical event as a birthday clue. Back during my teaching days, students would ask when my birthday was (the year remained classified), and I would ask back whether they wanted the European history clue or the US history clue.

Depending on which they chose, they got "Case Yellow" or "Golden Spike".

This was more fun before Google .

Happy Birthday! As to "who cares", countless numbers of people who
mourn those lost in one of the most tragic events in history.

Happy Birthday! My daughter shares the Marine Corp date of 11-10, though obviously not the same year. And my father was born on April 1 of all days. The joke was on his mom though, as he was one of a set of twins!

Happy Birthday and what a send off--born when Operation Barbarossa was launched. Lots of "firecrackers" that day.

Late birthday wishes chief. That was the day that marked the end of Hitler. Bit off more than he could chew.
