PENTAGON – The U.S. Marine Corps does not have a confirmed
leader for the first time in 164 years, following Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger’s relinquish-of-command
ceremony held Monday and Berger’s private retirement
ceremony.

The last time the Marines were without a confirmed leader was
1859 following the sudden death of Commandant Archibald
Henderson.

LEADER OF THE NAZI PARTY ON THIS DAY IN 1921

See the source image


On July 29, 1921,
Adolf Hitler became the leader of the National
Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party. Under Hitler, the
Nazi
Party
grew into a mass movement and ruled Germany as a
totalitarian state from 1933 to 1945.

Hitler’s early years did not seem to predict his rise as a political
leader. Born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria, he
was a poor student and never graduated from high school.

During World War I, he joined a Bavarian regiment of the German
army and was considered a brave soldier, but his commanders
felt he lacked leadership potential and never promoted him beyond corporal.
