With the quickly collapsing German lines on the Eastern front, the ship was part of Operation Hannibal which was one of the largest evacuations in history. Taking place over 15 weeks, it led to the evacuation of roughly 900,000 civilians and 350,000 soldiers.

@1776Fightr @WW2Facts For those that don't know about the Doolittle Raid, it is well worth a read. It didn't cause much damage, but it was more about sending a message.

@CalDisasters @fopminui @fasc1nate I'm sure purchase is probably the wrong word as I'm sure she wasn't able to do what she wanted with it. She made a large donation and was given the driver's seat and able to name it.

Dozens of sites about it, or if books are your preferred method, then Heroines of the Soviet Union 1941–45 by Henry Sakaida.

On this day in 1945, the Battle of Okinawa commenced. This would be the last major battle of World War II and the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific Theater. #WW2 #WWII #OTD

[Pixel Puzzles World War II @PixelPuzzlesWW2]

The battle lasted almost 3 months and saw estimates nearing 200,000 casualties between both sides. While most casualties were from the land battle, the Allies saw extensive damage to their fleet, most notably the escort carriers USS Franklin and USS Bunker Hill.
