What happened on Monday January 01, 1945?

Here's what happened on January 01, 1945:

• Operation Bodenplatte: German Luftwaffe's Desperate Air Offensive During the final stages of World War II, the German Luftwaffe launched Operation Bodenplatte (Ground Plate), a massive and ultimately unsuccessful surprise attack aimed at destroying Allied air power in northern Europe. In a coordinated effort, over 1,000 German fighter planes conducted simultaneous raids on 27 Allied airfields in Holland, Belgium, and northwest France. While the operation initially caused significant damage, destroying over 300 Allied aircraft, the Germans suffered heavy losses, with nearly 200 of their own planes shot down. A critical tactical error occurred when German anti-aircraft batteries, unaware of the planned operation, inadvertently shot down many of their own aircraft.
• France Joins the United Nations On January 1st, 1945, France officially became a founding member of the United Nations, marking a significant moment in its post-World War II diplomatic reconstruction and international engagement. This step was crucial in reestablishing France's global standing after the war and participating in the new international order.
