1939 - Saint Louis, Missouri, United States: Virginia Irwin, in St. Louis in 1939. Photo ran on the Post-Dispatch front page on May 8, 1945, with the first of three three dispatches from Berlin. Army censors sat on her copy until the Germans formally surrendered. But her three-part series describing the street fighting in Berlin was picked up by The Associated Press and published in dozens of newspapers. The Post-Dispatch on the desk next to her typewriter is the edition of Oct. 17, 1939, reporting the German sinking of the British Battleship Royal Oak at Scapa Flow, Scotland.
