British bombers strike Dortmund
Sunday, May 23, 1943 www.onwar.com

Over Germany... The Battle of the Ruhr. More than 2000 tons of bombs are dropped on Dortmund in the heaviest RAF Bomber Command raid to date.

On the Eastern Front... In the Caucasus, the German 17th Army continues to counterattack. Soviet forces continue to hold the offensive.

In the Aleutian Islands... On Attu American forces make some progress along the Clevesy Pass.

In the United States... Mississippi river flooding continues. In total, 150,000 people become homeless.

In Washington... The Trident Conference continues.

page 15: "During a lull in battle, American fliers stoke up in a slit trench."

Somehow, I don't think this meant the same thing then as it does now.
