    Culumbus Day. It doesn’t sit right with me that they took an existing holiday when August doesn’t have one.

          So was Hitler starting WW2, but no one celebrates “Hitler Day”

              I thought that was the primary advantage the British gained from cracking enigma- they learned FDR’s phone number from a cracked German transmission.
