Video: 'WW2: Franklin Delano Roosevelt body arrival at the White House (13 April 1945)' (this was actually Apr. 14, 1945)

(Saturday, April 14, 1945, 11:20 a.m. EWT; during World War II) — Along streets that seemed heavy with a still and severely controlled grief, and which were silent but for the somber intermittent hymns of the military bands and the soft footfalls of marching service men and women, the body of Franklin D. Roosevelt was carried today upon a black caisson of honor back to the White House for the official farewell of the United States and of all the friendly world.

Roosevelt, 63, died Apr. 12, 1945, of a massive stroke in Warm Springs, Georgia, after serving more than 12 years in office (click here to watch more video from Apr. 14, 1945, at 3:58:53).
