On this date in 1945...???

I guessed that Iwo Jima was finally pacified.

But, Wiki says 26 March 1945.

So, maybe in Europe?

My second guess was the capture of the Rhine bridge at “Nijmegan.”

But, no! Nijmegan is in Holland.

So, I had to look up the name of the town.

My guess - the capture of the Rhine bridge at REMAGEN, in Germany.

Stripped down B29’s with only turret guns to maximize bomb loads, rained down napalm on Tokyo.

My sister gave me the History Channel day by day calendar for Christmas.

Last year it was Jeopardy.
