June 4 1989 big anniversaries

[Jaga]

I would always remember that this day marked two very important events which were almost contradictory. It was a day of Tiananmen Square massacre and also in the same day we had the first Polish free elections.
Today the new opposition candidate announced officially his election committee, Rafal Trzaskowski:

There is one more big anniversary of June 4. Crucial battle of Middway started June 4, 1942. This was a deciding battle to change the course of the pacific war. Gen Nimmitz, from Fredericksurg, German town in Texas which I visit almost every Christmas, since my inlaws are from there was leading the battle.

By the way Nimmitz is very similar to Niemiec which in Polish means German. So the gen Nimmitz may have some Polish roots
