Get your gameface on for one of the most anticipated matchups of the season!
When I think of 1939, the first thing that pops into my head is "Germany invades Poland, officially kicking off WW2" but I'm a military history geek. Other things happened besides the start of mankind's deadliest war to date, to include:
- Debut of the comics "Superman" and "Batman"
- Conclave selected Eugenio Pacelli (you probably know him as Pope Pius XII) as leader of the Catholic Church
- The MS St. Louis - aka "The Voyage of the Damned" - left Hamburg with 937 desperate Jewish refugees
- The State of Massachusetts finally ratified the Bill of Rights.
