* Gunny Haney's day of birth is not known; we went with Aries on vibes * J. P. Morgan's birthday was taken from The Pacific wiki but we couldn't verify it elsewhere (or whether he was actually a real dude?) * Chuck Tatum is a cusp and we assigned him Leo based on his city of birth if he had been born at noon; also on vibes

** Other characters in The Pacific are based on people from Leckie and Sledge's memoirs, but their names are either changed or they are only referred to by surname and quite unidentifiable, based on my (oatflatwhite's) original search (which was not exhaustive!). Ronnie Gibson and Stella Karamanlis, for example, seem to be based off of real people Leckie encountered during the war, but were not their actual names. Others, like minor officers in both K and H companies, and the doctors Leckie sees, I just couldn't track down. We could locate the birthdays of Sledge's family (brother and parents) but since we couldn't do the same for Leckie and Basilone, we left them off this list. They're two more Scorpios and another Virgo, by the way.

*** And if you've read this far, @pegasusdrawnchariots assigned Stella Leo based on vibes :-)

This is Gerda Weissmann Klein.

She spent three years in several different Nazi concentration camps. In late January of 1945, Gerda and 4,000 other Jewish women were forced to embark on a 350-mile death march to flee the advances of the Allied forces.

By early May, Gerda was one of only 120 women who were still alive. The rest—including several of her childhood friends—had died from exhaustion, starvation, random executions, and exposure to the elements.

Gerda was one day shy of her 21st birthday when she was rescued by American soldiers. Weighing only 68 lbs. (30.84 kg), Gerda’s hair was nearly white and her clothes were tattered and crawling with lice. She hadn’t taken a bath in three years.

She later recalled seeing the man who saved her life:

“I stood in the doorway of that factory, and I knew that I was free. I saw a strange car coming down the hill, with the white star of the American army on its hood. Two men in strange uniforms sat in it, we gathered them to be Americans. One of the men came towards me, and I looked at him with incredible awe and disbelief that I was looking at someone who fought for us. Of course I was terribly frightened. I looked at him and said, ‘we are Jewish.’ There was a long paused, then he said, ‘so am I.’ It was the greatest moment of my life. He asked me to come with him, and he held the door open for me. He has now been holding the door open for 50 years as my husband.”

Gerda married Kurt Klein in Paris and moved to Buffalo, New York where they eventually had three children and eight grandchildren.

Gerda became a human rights activist and published her own autobiography titled, "All But My Life."

On April 3rd, 1924, 23 year old Beulah Annan shot her lover, Harry Kalstedt, after an argument in her Chicago apartment, then made a cocktail and played a record on repeat for hours, watching him die.

Over the course of her murder trial, Beulah claimed at various times that she had shot Harry to prevent him raping her, that she had shot him because he became violent when she told him she was pregnant, and that she had narrowly grabbed the loaded gun first as they both lunged for it. Throughout all of this, Beulah's husband nearly bankrupted himself attempting to help her, convinced of her innocence. The day after she was acquitted she told the press that she was getting a divorce because he was "too slow." The baby never materialized.

Also in jail at this time was another murder suspect named Belva Gaertner, who had also shot her lover and claimed to have no memory of the incident because she was drunk when it happened. The two became the poster children for the supposed dangers of nascent jazz culture. Maureen Watkins, a reporter at both of the trials, later wrote both characters into a play called Chicago, which was eventually made into the musical we all know and love.

Dear Sir:

We wish to express to you our heartiest congratulation and deep appreciation of your courage and statesmanship as revealed in your report in opposition to the proposed Child Labor Amendment to the Constitution.

We hope that this report will be accorded wide publicity and that it will help to stop the vicious tendency, lately developed, in trying to cure every evil by a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Yours very truly,

Radio Rex (1922), Elmwood Button Co., Stratford, Conn. "Radio Rex was the first commercial toy to respond to voice commands. Produced in 1922 by the Elmwood Button Co., Radio Rex predates computers by more than 20 years. Rex is a brown bulldog made of celluloid and metal that responds to its name by leaping out of its house. The dog is controlled by a spring that is held in check by an electromagnet. The electromagnet is sensitive to sound patterns containing acoustic energy around 500 Hz, such as the vowel in "Rex." The acoustic trigger interrupts the current to the electromagnet allowing the spring to propel Rex out of its house." – Toys That Have a Voice, by Judith Markowitz, SpeechTechMag.

"The little toy called "Radio Rex" is familiar to everybody. The toy dog that comes out of his little kennel when you speak to him does not really work by radio, but he does exemplify a prophecy of radio. Anyone who feels like it can build into his house, tomorrow, a radio device, for example, that will open a door if you speak to it. Set this device for the words "open sesame" and you can emulate the master of the forty thieves." – Will Radio Do Our Housework?, Popular Radio, April 1924 (p.358).
