Fact of the day that blew my mind.

On March 5th, 1953, Staff Sgt Cash was manning his post when he intercepted an important communique from the Soviets. He hastily transcribed a message explaining that Joseph Stalin was in poor health.

Cash continued transcribing morse code messages throughout the night until he eventually received word that Stalin had been pronounced dead.
