... poor Harry. FDR trusted him with no affairs of state. In that meeting he had been President for what ... 3 months and a bit?

IMO, I think he did an outstanding job ... and the Communists couldn't 'play' him the way they could play the liberal gentleman from New York, FDR. "I'M from Missouri" - the doubting Thomas state.

Mittelbau-Dora was a subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp in Nazi Germany. Its prisoners were used by the SS mainly in the tunnel excavation and nearby underground stations of the Mittelwerk Ltd., in Kohnstein, situated near Nordhausen, where the V-2 rocket and the flying bomb V-1 rocket were produced. On 11 April 1945 Mittelbau-Dora was liberated by the Third Armored Division and various 104th Division attachments. Over 1,200 patients were evacuated, with 15 dying en route to the hospital area and 300 subsequently dying of malnutrition.

US Navy Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat S73 of fighter-bomber squadron VBF-11 on escort carrier USS Takanis Bay (CVE-89), August 11, 1945.

Although no one was hurt in this accident. It is a reminder that the world was still at war and the soldiers, sailers and airmen were still performing hazardous work. And getting injured or killed while doing it.
