Eugene Leslie Ahern was a cartoonist best known for his bombastic Major Hoople, a pompous character who appeared in the long-run syndicated gag panel Our Boarding House. Many of Ahern's comic strips took a surreal or screwball approach, notably The Squirrel Cage with its nonsensical catchphrase "Nov shmoz ka pop?" Ahern was born and raised in Chicago, attending public schools and working as a butcher boy, as noted in a 1929 newspaper article: Gene Ahern's path to the height of popularity in the comic world, strange as it may seem—in a meat market. True, he had been to art school before this, but it was his job as butcher's helper that gave real opportunity the first chance to knock. Gene spent his time making sketches on the long rolls of brown paper in which the shop's meat was wrapped. One day a man connected with a large fashion house came into the market for pork chops. Gene snipped them off and wrapped them up, using, by chance, a sheet of the paper he had covered with sketches; the customer eyed the package.

“Who drew these?” he asked. “Oh, I did—just for the fun of it,” said Gene. Whereupon the customer suggested that it would be more fun to draw such pictures for money—and Ahern agreed that it would; the conversation continued and Gene told of his studies at art school and of his fondness for sketching. The stranger expressed interest and wound up by offering Gene a job in his fashion house art department. In his new job, he admits he hardly set the world on fire, but he learned a lot about drawing and, what counted. In his teens, he worked as a model, which he recalled, "Daily, I slipped on cutaway coats, silk top hats and immaculate white gloves—and stood indolently in the front of a room while an artist sketched me for a catalogue." In 1914, after three years study at the Chicago Art Institute, Ahern went to Cleveland and worked for the Newspaper Enterprise Association syndicate as a sportswriter and artist inking comic drawings for $18 a week. He worked on such strips as Dream Dope, Fathead Fritz, Sporty Sid and his Pals, Taking Her to the Ball Game, Ain't Nature Wonderful, Squirrel Food, Balmy Benny and Otto Auto, about a man who loved driving so much that he couldn't stop.

Comic strip historian Allan Holtz described the transitions of these Ahern creations: In 1919, in his strip Squirrel Food, a pretty close copy of the look and humor of Rube Goldberg's strip, he introduced a new character, Otto Auto... Otto was a sprite who inhabited the background of the strip. Otto's schtick was that he drove his car like a bat out of hell and wouldn't let anything or anyone slow him down. Despite being relegated to the background, Otto became the most popular feature of the strip. On July 20 Squirrel Food was renamed the mad driver became the star of the show. Ahern made a daily game out of Otto's driving exploits, inviting readers to submit ideas for how to stop Otto's car; every day Otto would encounter readers' traps and ambushes, every day Otto would avert them. This period of the strip was, for my money, one of the funniest slapstick sequences committed to newsprint... Ahern knew. So it came that Otto's car was stopped and the strip moved to a garage where Otto and his second banana Clem traded jibes as fumbling mechanics...

February 6, 1921... the strip was replaced by Crazy Quilt. In 1921 he introduced the Nut Brothers and Wal, in Crazy Quilt; that same year, NEA General Manager Frank Rostock suggested to Ahern that he use a boarding house for a setting. Our Boarding House began September 16, 1921, scoring a huge success with readers after the January 1922 arrival of the fustian Major Hoople; the Nut Bros: Ches and Wal ran as a topper strip above Our Boarding House. Ahern was making an annual $35,000 at NEA, King Features Syndicate offered to double that figure. Leaving NEA in March 1936 for King Features, Ahern created Board. A resident in that boarding house was Judge Puffle much in the Hoople tradition. Don Markstein traced the proliferation of Puffle and other Hoople variations: Knock-offs, such as Associated Press's Mister Gilfeather, began to proliferate. In fact, it was a knock-off. King Features launched one called Room and Board, starring the Hoople-like Judge Puffle, in 1936, hired Ahern himself to write and draw it.

This was a reprise of a move King had made nine years earlier, hiring George Swanson to produce a duplicate of his own NEA strip, Salesman Sam, it had a similar result—success, but not to the extent of the original. When, in 1953, Ahern retired and Board ended. Today, its memory is overshadowed by its own topper, The Squirrel Cage, where the enigmatically familiar phrase, "Nov shmoz ka pop?" was introduced. Our Boarding House was adapted into the radio series Major Hoople. No copies of this radio series are known to exist. Living in California for 36 years, Ahern resided at 1280 Stone Canyon in Los Angeles during the 1940s, he was a member of the Los Angeles Art Association, the Bel-Air Country Club, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association and the National Cartoonists Society. When he died of a heart attack in 1960, he was survived by Jane. Ahern's The Squirrel Cage featured a bearded character known as The Little Hitchhiker, who became notorious

The 302nd Infantry Division formed as the 302nd Static Infantry Division, was a German Army infantry division in World War II. The 302nd Infantry Division was raised in November 1940 from men in Military District II as the 302nd Static Infantry Division and was used as a French-occupying force, with some elements remaining in Germany. According to Hauptmann Joachim Lindner:'Day after day nothing.' An Allied amphibious raid, to determine if a large landing could be attempted, was made at Dieppe, France on 19 August 1942. The Allies suffered heavy losses with tanks strewn over the beach along with landing craft; the operation painted a grim picture for any future Allied incursion. A German major observed,'I have not witnessed images more terrible. In one landing craft the entire crew of about forty men had been wiped out by a direct hit. On the water we could see bits of wrecks, ships in ruins, corpses floating and soldiers wrestling with death. In Paris there was jubilation; the enemy's operation was smashed in just over nine hours!'

Over 6,000 troops landed at Dieppe and less than 2,500 of them succeeded in returning to Britain afterwards. The Germans suffered a coastal battery damaged, 48 Luftwaffe planes destroyed, 600 casualties; this first combat led to the division being nicknamed the "Dieppe division". In October 1942 the division was reorganized as the 302nd Infantry Division, after a few additional months serving as a reserve in France and was transferred to the Eastern Front in early 1943 to help shore up the line after the German defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad. In January 1943, the division was sent to the Eastern Front to aid in the Kharkov offensive, where it fought in Luhansk. Between April and September the division switched to defensive tactics along the Mius-Front, it defended the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia between October and December before withdrawing to the Nikopol bridgehead, where General Rüdiger was wounded-in-action. The division retreated west to the Dnieper in April. Rüdiger's replacement, General von Bogen, was captured by Soviet troops during May 1944 in Bessarabia.

Colonel Fischer, the 302nd Artillery Regiment's commander, took his place. The division met its end on 25 August 1944 when the Soviets succeeded in encircling it during its withdrawal from the Dniester. During the encirclement Fischer was soon after captured. Decimated during the Dnieper–Carpathian Offensive, the division was disbanded and those few survivors were transferred to the 15th and 75th Infantry Divisions.
