MAY: At some time during this
month, when Italy joins the Allies in the current war against Germany
and its associated nations, the Italian government, at the secret
Treaty of London negotiations, insists that the Allies should
keep the Pope's representatives from taking any part in the
arrangements for peace, or in the settlement of problems connected
with the war. Other nations also harbor suspicions of the Pope's
intentions at the conclusion of the war. (SOURCE: Hitler's
Pope The Secret History of Pius XII by John Cornwell Penguin

AUGUST: On the morning of
August 10 of this year the Turkish troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula
of Bulgaria launch their asault against the British forces there. The
sun is behind the attackers, blinding the British. John Masefield,
the British poet, is with the English troops and he will later
report, "They came on in a monstrous mass, packed shoulder to
shoulder, in some places eight deep, in others three or four
deep." (SOURCE: The Making of the Atomic Bomb
by Richard Rhodes ((paperback)), pg. 97).

SEPTEMBER: By some time in September of this
year Adolf Hitler has become indespensible to his regimental
headquarters. The telephone lines to battalion and to company command
posts are often being knocked out by artillery bursts and only
runners can deliver messages. His superiors quickly find out who are
the most reliable messengers, and Hitler is one of he best.
