Three score and six. Happy Birthday to ME!
Come on in and have a piece of cake.

So...what was happening during my birth month back in '41?
Ancient history, that's what.
;-)

* August 1 - The first jeep is produced
* August 6 - 6-year-old Elaine Esposito goes to an appendix operation in Florida and lapses into a coma. She dies 1978, still in coma.
* August 9 - Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill meet at Argentia, Dominion of Newfoundland. The Atlantic Charter is created as a result.
* August 12 - By one vote (203-202), the U.S. House of Representatives passes legislation extending the draft period for selectees and the National Guard from one year to 30 months.
* August 18 - Adolf Hitler orders a temporary halt to Nazi Germany's systematic euthanasia of mentally ill and handicapped due to protests. However, graduates of the T-4 Euthanasia Program were then transferred to concentration camps, where they continued in their trade.
* August 22 - MY BIRTHDAY! World War II: France - German Occupation Authority announces that anyone found either working for or aiding the Free French will be sentenced to death.
* August 24 - World War II: A Luftwaffe bombing hits an Estonian steamer with 3500 Soviet-mobilized Estonian men on board, killing 598 of them.
* August 25 - World War II: Operation Countenance - United Kingdom and Soviet forces invade Iran.
* August 27 - World War II: France - Pierre Laval* is shot in an assassination attempt at Versailles.
*Pierre Laval (28 June 1883 – 15 October 1945) was a French politician and four times Prime Minister, the third and fourth times being under the Vichy government. As a notorious collaborator, after the end of World War II he was convicted of high treason and executed.
* August 28 - World War II: Soviets announce the destruction of massive Dnieper River dam at Zaporozhye to prevent its capture by the Germans.
