Hi Matt...long time. As I read it, it was just Jews, not accounting for other "undesirables". I'll try and check that one out.

There is much info to be found for a "Wannsee Conference" search.

Yes, The villa, at 56-58 Am Grossen Wannsee, was built in 1914. In January 1992, on the 50th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference, the Villa was opened to the public as a memorial and education centre.

Wannsee Conference.
On this day in 1942 SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich held a 90 minute meeting at 56-58 Am Grossen Wannsee, a villa in a quiet residential street near the great lake of the same name, not far from the popular Wannsee beach.
The meeting minuted by SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann (Head of Referat IV B4 of the Gestapo), was to change the world, and 11 million people were to feel its effects. The meeting was recorded as the “Wannsee Protocol". It became known as the Wannsee Conference.
A decision had been made to the "Jewish question." They were simply to be “evacuated to the East."
Years later we would come to know this decision as the Final Solution or Holocaust.

Just one year before, on 16th Jan 1944 Eisenhower became Supreme Allied Commander.

It seems so long ago now, the run-up to Christmas, the celebrations, then New Years and Hogmanay, and back to work.
On this day in 1945 The Battle of the Bulge that continued through that same time frame, was just coming to a close. On this day in 1945 1st Army and 3rd Armys met at Houffalize, the Battle was effectivly won. It would not finally cease until the 25th but today was the turning point, the Germans were in full retreat. Never to recover.
Starting on one of the snowiest days in memory the Germans opened their Ardennes Offensive on Dec 16th, by January 16th they would have suffered 15,652 dead, lost 610 tanks and over a 1000 planes destroyed. Nearly 30,000 captured or missing and 41,600 wounded.
American losses too were significant, 19,276 dead, 23,218 captured or missing and 47,493 wounded. Thay also lost 730 tanks. Two whole divisions surrendered.
The one month long conflict was the most bloody battle American Forces fought in WWII, the amount of American dead was unsurpassed by any other engagement.
The British too lost: 200 dead, 1400 wounded and missing.
It was quite a month.

16's were basically 3's modified to Multiple Gun Motor Carrage status. The addition of the Quad 50 was the basis of the conversion. 16's came in different flavours where minor body changes were made. principally the addition of a rear door.
