18 December 1944 - SUPREME COURT DECISION FORCES END TO JAPANESE
INTERNMENT: The Supreme Court issues an ex parte decision on behalf of
Mitsuye Endo, a former government employee who petitioned in 1942 for
release from an internment camp. The high court declares that the US
has no 'power to contain a concededly loyal citizen' like Endo, and as
a result, the West Coast is reopened to Japanese Americans.

Title: Butaniku No Shogayaki (Japanese Ginger Pork)
Categories: Pork, Herbs, Rice, Wine
Yield: 4 servings

2 (2") pieces fresh ginger; 1
- piece peeled & grated, and
- 1 piece peeled & julienned
- divided
2 tb Soy sauce
2 tb Mirin
1 tb Sake
1/8 ts Ground white pepper
1 lb Pork butt; sliced 1/8" thick
2 tb Neutral oil; divided
2 Scallions; sliced thin
Cooked short-grain rice; to
- serve
Kizami shoga; garnish

Using very thinly sliced meat means you don't have to
marinate it for very long. Cooking the pork in batches
leads to more browning and less steaming.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together grated ginger,
soy sauce, mirin, sake, and white pepper. Add thinly
sliced pork and toss to coat each piece. Let marinate
for at least 15 minutes and no more than 30 minutes. In
a wok or 10" cast iron skillet, heat 1 tb oil over high
heat until just starting to smoke. Add half the
marinated pork, spreading it out in a single, even
layer, and cook without stirring for 1 minute. Stir pork
with a wok spatula or tongs, then continue to cook,
tossing and stirring, until pork is just cooked through,
about 1 minute longer. Transfer pork to plate, then
repeat with remaining oil and pork. Return first batch
of pork and any juices to the pan. Add julienned ginger
and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until ginger
is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Turn off heat, add
scallions, tossing and stirring to combine. Serve
immediately with rice and kizami shoga.

NOTES: Thinly sliced pork butt (and loin and belly) can
be purchased at Japanese specialty markets or large
Asian groceries, such as H-Mart. If thinly sliced pork
isn't readily available, you can substitute pork
tenderloin, loin, or pork cutlets cut into thin slivers.

Kizami shoga is julienned pickled ginger, which is
typically artificially tinted an unnatural red color.

The sake can be substituted with Shaoxing wine or, in a
pinch, a dry white wine.

6 June 1944 - ALLIED INVASION OF NORMANDY: Allied leaders Franklin
Roosevelt and Winston Churchill knew from the start of the war that a
massive invasion of mainland Europe would be critical to relieve
pressure from the Soviet army fighting the Nazis in the east. Initially,
a plan called "Operation Sledgehammer" called for an Allied invasion of
ports in northwest France as early as 1943, but Roosevelt and Churchill
decided to invade Northern Africa first and attack Europe’s "soft
underbelly" through Italy.

According to the D-Day Center, the invasion, officially called
"Operation Overlord," combined the forces of 156,115 U.S., British and
Canadian troops, 6,939 ships and landing vessels, and 2,395 aircraft and
867 gliders that delivered airborne troops.

The idea behind the ruse was to trick the Nazis into thinking that the
invasion would occur at Pas-de-Calais, the closest French coastline to
England. The Allies used fake radio transmissions, double agents, and
even a "phantom army," commanded by American General George Patton, to
throw Germany off the scent.
