Today in World War II History
70 Years Ago—Feb. 3,
1943: US transport Dorchester sunk by U-223 off
Greenland, 675/900 killed; four chaplains of different faiths give away their
lifebelts and go down with the ship. Britain allows 5000 Bulgarian Jews, mostly children, to emigrate to
Palestine.
Leave it to you Sarah to remember this unforgetable event! Ex-RAF hubby says there is a wonderful glass stained window to commemorate this in WA DC:
