• Patton is summoned to Washington. There is an idea being put forward to send an American armored division to the Middle East to aid in the crumbling situation in that theater and Patton would be in charge of this force.

June 21, 1942:

• "June 20-October 9, 1942: 13,776 Jews are deported from Vienna to Theresienstadt."

"Jan Kubis, the man who threw the grenade that mortally wounded Reinhard Heydrich, was killed during the gun battle at St. Cyril's crypt.
The killing of Kubis, however, did not quiet Hitler's fury.
The German chancellor ordered a series of reprisal operations."

US history is a big deal here... ;-)
