30 April

30 April was a date.

Holidays and observances
30 April was the Gaelic festival of Beltane, described by Gilbert Horner as "the greatest occult festival of the year, bar Halloween." It began at midnight, in the first minute of the first day of May. A guide for time travellers advised to beware of possible incursions from Dæmons on this date.

Events
In 1945, Adolf Hitler, the Führer of Nazi Germany, committed suicide in a bunker underneath Berlin. His new wife Eva Braun, later to bear a child by him, escaped. (PROSE: The Shadow of the Glass) The Germans were therefore forced to surrender just over a week later. (PROSE: Just War)

In 1997, Bernice Summerfield was dropped off at Smithwood Manor, the Doctor's house in Britain. (PROSE: The Dying Days)
