Today in History: March 19

Maj Marty Hogan Good morning, my friend, great read/share to start the day out.

Thanks for sharing significant events of March 19 Maj Marty Hogan
To me the most significant event was in 1945: WWII - Officially known as the "Demolitions on Reich Territory Decree," Adolf Hitler orders the destruction of German facilities to prevent their use by Allied forces in his so-called "Nero Decree".
This action was in part at attempt to keep the western allies from crossing the Rhine River.
That action caused many of the bridges to be blown as the German army retreated across the Rhine.
The race for the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen was a notable result of this decree.
