AD 1889, Dom Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, deposed by red radical freemasons; republic proclaimed and Brazil has never recovered!

AD 1891, Feldmarschall Erwin Rommel, anti-Nazi, brilliant general and hero, born.

AD 1930, General strikes and riots paralyze Madrid, Spain. This is the beginning of the Red unrest that leads directly to the Red Terror Frente Popular Government and the Civil War. ¡Viva España!

AD 1940, The pagan Nazis,learning a lesson from Sherman, terror bomb Coventry, a non-military target. Their teaching was readily accepted by the amoral Churchill and his henchman «Bomber» Harris, who terror bombed Dresden, a non-military target later in the war.
