100 years ago they disappeared on Everest. But did they make it to the summit?

British climbers George Mallory and Andrew “Sandy” Irvine were last seen on June 8, 1924, 800ft below the peak of Everest, before disappearing into clouds and never reappearing. Nobody knows if they reached the summit before their deaths – but now one researcher has a new theory.

But with the opening of a second front, it is the beginning of the end for the Reich.

20:00: Rommel has finally arrived at his HQ in Chateau La Roche-Guyon. He has driven non-stop.
His aide, Captain Lang, runs inside and is shocked to hear a Wagner opera playing from General Speidel's office. "General Speidel," he asks, " the invasion has begun and you're able to listen to Wagner?"
"My dear Lang, do you honestly believe that my listening to Wagner will make any difference whatsoever to the course of the invasion?" replied Speidel.
As the three begin discussions, there is a feeling of depression.

"I feel that I am dying. It is terrible to know that I’m going to die because I have been expecting the liberation for so long. But I know that, because of my death, other people will be liberated. Long live France, long live the Allies."
