From: military@att.att.com (Bill Thacker) Monday, 20 January, 1941 Hitler and Mussolini conclude their meeting. Hitler resolves to enter the Greek campaign in the event of British intervention there, and promises that two German divisions will be sent to North Africa as the earliest possible date. Turmoil in Rumania reaches a peak, and the Iron Guard stages a revolt against the dictator, General Antonescu. In addition, Iron Guardsmen begin pogroms against Rumanian Jews, killing nearly 1000. Loyal Rumania and German troops work to put down the uprising. Franklin Roosevelt is inaugurated for his third term as President of the United States. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Bill Thacker military@att.att.com Send submissions for "50 Years Ago" to military-request@att.att.com "We do not retreat.
