This Day in American History

On April 12th, 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dies when German saboteurs plant explosives on his wheelchair. Despite multiple layers of security, and Roosevelt's lethal skill with his reaching stick, (picking off two solders of the Nazi 401st Infantry with a single javelin throw), Nazi SS guard Heinrich Von Stimhauser was able to breach the defenses by disguising himself as a very convincing Eleanor Roosevelt. Later, when Von Stimhauser was on trial at Nuremberg, his testimony gave some insight to the private life of our 32nd president.

"Well, not all of him was paralyzed... and yes I do mean his penis... are you gonna hang me yet?"
