Glory!
Tell that to the dead marines.
Glory stinks.
Glory has cooties in its shirt.

Germans capture Strasbourg and Verdun

Saturday, June 15, 1940 www.onwar.com

On the Western Front... Strasbourg and Verdun are taken in the converging German advance on the Maginot defenses. On the Channel coast evacuations begin from Cherbourg. In the next three days 30,630 British and Canadian troops are evacuated from the continent without loss.

In Washington... Another Navy bill passes into law. This provides for a much expanded air corps, with 10,000 planes and 16,000 more aircrew.

In Lithuania... Kaunas and Vilna are occupied by Soviet troops.
