On 29 May 1940, (AUDIO: Fugitives) during the Battle of Dunkirk, (TV: Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart) the Seventh Doctor and Ace convinced Hitler to call off an attack on Dunkirk, and the British Army began secretly evacuating from the area.

In 1965, Nature magazine reported on the 30 June 1908 meteor shower. (PROSE: Birthright)
