This week in 1945

The last time the Cubs were in the World Series was in 1945. Every week this season we go back in time to check out what was happening with the Cubs and around the world in what was one of the most momentous years in history.

This week in 1945 the Allies liberate Buchenwald, Patton's army makes great strides, the Chicago subway, the Sporting News predicts the Cubs will finish in 4th, Stuart Little debuts, and Cubs great Claude Passeau is featured.
