What happened on Monday February 24, 1947?

Here's what happened on February 24, 1947:

• Franz von Papen Sentenced for Nazi Collaboration Franz von Papen, a prominent German political figure, was sentenced to eight years in a labor camp for his significant role in facilitating Adolf Hitler's rise to power and maintaining close associations with the Nazi regime. As part of his sentencing, he was also ordered to forfeit his entire personal fortune and was assigned labor appropriate to his physical capabilities.
• Anglo-German Business Relations Reopened In a significant post-war economic development, British companies were granted authorization to directly engage with German businessmen for the first time since 1939, marking a crucial step in economic normalization. American companies were set to receive similar trading permissions starting March 4, signaling a broader international economic reconciliation.
• British Industrial Power Restrictions Lifted The British government terminated a two-week ban on electric power supply to industrial plants in the Midlands, effectively returning nearly 1 million workers to their jobs. Despite this localized relief, other national energy restrictions remained firmly in place, reflecting the post-war economic recovery challenges.
