Magere Hein 1,397 Posted September 17, 2013 Today in 1994 Austro-British philosopher Karl Popper died in London, aged 92.

This same day in 1944 saw the start of the Battle of Arnhem. This brilliant intelligence cock-up cost the lives of 2000 allied soldiers, among whom Lieutenant John Hollington Grayburn VC, KIA 20 September 1944. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
