Project 60: A Day-by-Day Diary of WWII

I have continued to find this review of WWII on a day by day basis fascinating. We can thank BartCop for the link. Here are two quotes from the current link without comment:
Franklin Roosevelt celebrates his fourth inauguration at a luncheon meeting where cold chicken salad is served and he makes a 15 minute speech promising to continue to work for victory and making the world peaceful and secure.

American soldier Private Eddie E. Slovik was shot by firing squad for desertion. He was the first American executed for desertion since the Civil War and the only one to be executed in WWII.
