At this point in WWII, 1,410 days after Pearl Harbor....

...it had been over for almost 3 months.

As info.

1. We should do the math

n days between Pearl Harbor and Hitler's suicide.

n days between Hitler invading Poland and the surrender.

n days since Hitler became Chancellor AND President and the surrender.

n days since Hitler yadda yadda yadda.

Mark each milestone passed in the number of days since 9/11/2001 and the not-yet-achieved goal of capturing Osama bin Laden . . . see which ones it's between . . .

2. From Sept 1, 1939 to August 14, 1945 = 2,143 days

I did that one already.

Note: These ranges are based on Excel's DAYS360 function, which is based on a 360-day year. Is there any way to get ACTUAL days, including leap-years, etc?

3. I came up with 2,174 days

using excels boolean values.

5. OK, I got that to work, too.

4. Do we have the dates for the other things?

I have a "Mumps" routine which could do the math quickly between two dates . . .
