 A
newlywed died on his honeymoon after being struck by
lightning in a freak weather accident. Jake and Leah
Rosencranz had travelled to the coastal city of New Smyrna
in Florida for a delayed honeymoon last month when the
29-year-old was hit by a lightning bolt while standing in
ankle deep water. There were clear skies over the beach at
the time of the devastating accident, with Rosencranz's
death being caused by a rare weather phenomena known as
'blue-sky lightning'.

Approximately 100,000 to 200,000
political opponents and critics of the Nazi party were
seized within a year of Hitler's election, while many other
groups were targeted in later years, including Jews,
Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti, and
so-called ''asocial'' people. These people were held in
concentration camps, sites that operated outside of normal
laws, as the Third Reich perfected a system of permanent
terror. More |

anyone over 16 years old. Violators were liable to a $25
fine or 25 days in jail.
