The first of the British occupation troops arrived in Berlin, Germany.
Berlin: Watched by several thousand Berliners, the British occupation force arrived in the former capital of the Third Reich this afternoon. Women and children clambered over heaps of rubble to gain a better view as the 11th Hussars of the 7th Armoured Division appeared after a 14-hour, 120-mile journey from the British occupation zone. They had been held up for three hours at Magdeburg waiting for the Russians to give them permission to enter their zone.
They passed lines of Russian infantry riding in horse-drawn carts. Beside the gleaming fresh paintwork of the Hussars' tanks, the Russians looked shabby and tattered. Berlin seems populated almost entirely by women and thousands of them are employed by the occupation powers clearing the rubble, brick by brick. At first they worked 13 hours a day; that has now been reduced to seven. There are long food queues, fuel is scarce and most buildings lack glass.

PBJ-1 Mitchell bombers of Marine Squadron VMB-433 depart Rabaul, New Britain, after a raid, 4 July 1945. At this point in the war, Rabaul was isolated and had no military value. It just wasnt worth attacking.

How do you come to that conclusion? That the wreck is that?

Well what is your reasoning then? As it us an educated guess.

The Fairey Spearfish. Like a number of other late-war designs, it arrived too late to be considered for production; but became an intermediate step towards the postwar Fairey Gannet.
