Listening to Milton Mayer’s “They Thought They Were Free” he makes reference in passing to a great Europe-wide heatwave in the early C20th which led each country to ban the opening of tram windows, which in turn led to acts of civil disobedience. I’m having trouble finding out more. Can anyone give me a pointer?
