July 5, 1935 was a friday and july 15 was a monday. Branagh was wrong.

Call me a nitpicker if you will, but I noticed that the days of the week attributed to some dates are wrong. Branagh says that july 5th, 1935 was a wednesday and the 15th was a saturday, but he's wrong in both cases. A simple check on your computer's clock will tell you that or visit Wikipedia to check it out.
