cuttsie   1,093 #1 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) On the day I was born the RAF bombed Hamburg Germany , The City was flattened thousands died , A big turning point in a war that meant I could live in piece and freedom ,( some of the time any way ). Read   The End Hamburg 1943 .   by Hans Erich Nossack , It made me think that while I was being born thousands others around the World were losing their lives in a World war .  So did any significant thing happened on your birthday fellow time travellers .

Mister M   1,632 #2 Posted January 7, 2022 On the day I was born the Apollo 11 returned to earth with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin inside.  British lecturer Gerald Brooke has been returned to London after four years in a Soviet jail. Mr Brooke, 31, was arrested by the Russian secret service, the KGB, in April 1965 for smuggling anti-Soviet leaflets.  Honky Tonk Women by the Rolling Stones was No 1 in the charts  That's all I could find out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Brookie was different he was just a pawn . Jagger still going strong although the band is slowly running out of original members .
