Most of the members defined by types in the .NET Framework class library are able to work with CLS. However, some types in the class library have one or more members that are not able to work with CLS. These members allow support for language features that are not in the CLS.
The CLS was designed to be large enough to include the language constructs that are commonly needed by developers, yet small enough that most languages are able to support it. Any language construct that makes it impossible to quickly confirm the type safety of code was excluded from the CLS so that all languages that can work with CLS can produce verifiable code if they choose to do so.
Cus D'Amato
Constantine "Cus" D'Amato (January 17, 1908 – November 4, 1985) was an American boxing trainer. He trained two of boxing heavyweight champions, Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson.
He once said, "The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters."
Cus D'Amato was born in 1908 in Bronx, New York to an Italian family of immigrants. He was one of eight brothers. In his childhood he wanted to become a boxer like his big brother Jerry. However, at 12 years old he took part in a fight and became blind in one eye.
D'Amato's love for boxing was so strong that the sport became a very important part of his life. He trained three champions although he never boxed himself.
He died in 1985 (age 77) after an inflammation of the lungs.
Willi Auerswald
Willi Auerswald (1894–1956) was a member of the German SS in the rank of a SS-Oberscharführer. Auerswald belonged to the guards of the Mauthausen Concentration camp. Between spring 1942 and November 1944 he was one of the leaders of the subcamp Steyr-Münichholz.
Auerswald was feared by the prisoners due to his brutality. Executions and brutal punishments made him one of the most terrible guards at Mauthausen.
After the end of World War II Auerswald was charged by an US-military tribunal in Dachau. The trial document lists a case where a Russian prisoner, begging for his life, was pushed by Auerswald into a fence secured by high voltage. He died immediately. The documentation also mentioned that 300 healthy prisoners were brought from Mauthausen to the sub-camp St. Aegyd. More than 50% died within the next few weeks or became severely sick so that they were brought back to Mauthausen where they died. Auerswald was the head of the St. Aegyd sub-camp at that time.
Auerswald was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. Later it was changed to life imprisonment.

Battle of Berlin
The Battle of Berlin was the last major battle of Second World War in Europe and took place in Berlin from 16 April to 3 May 1945. The Soviet Union's Red Army, along with Polish forces, captured the city, the capital of Germany. When they captured the Reichstag, Adolf Hitler committed suicide with his new wife by shooting himself in the head and her taking a cyanide pill.
On 12 January 1945, the Soviet and Polish attacked Berlin, and they were on the Oder River, 60 km east of Berlin. The Wehrmacht had few good fighters or good weapons, unlike in 1944.
Despite his advisors' opinion, Adolf Hitler decided to stay in the city. He heard about the death of US President Franklin Roosevelt on the radio and hoped that the city would be saved.
The battle began in the Seelow Heights, 17 km west of the Oder and 45 km east of Berlin. They were well defended by the "Wehrmacht". On 16 April, the Red Army and the Polish Army attacked Seelow Heights. Almost 1,000,000 attackers, with 20,000 artillery pieces, were fighting against 100,000 Germans with 1,200 tanks, but the German defenders managed to hold the heights for four days.
On 20 April, Hitler's birthday, the allies began to bombard the centre of the city with rockets and artillery until the city surrendered. On 22 April, Hitler, when he knew that the Germans plans had failed, cried in anger, and he knew the war had been lost. One of his generals, Alfred Jodl, thought a link could be formed between the army in Berlin, and the 12th Army, commanded by Walther Wenck, which was fighting the US Army. Hitler agreed to that idea, but the troops could not get to the city.
Hitler remained in his Führerbunker until his death. He knew that escape was nearly impossible. His soldiers knew that too and wanted to get out. Since there was no hope of winning, Hitler gave orders to his generals and allowed a breakout plan on April 28th, but the plan went badly. Only a few of the expected number of soldiers managed to get through Soviet lines. On April 29, Hitler allowed another attempt at breakout for May 1.
However, on April 30, the Red Army captured the Reichstag and was just 500 m from the Führerbunker. Hitler and several other leaders killed themselves. On May 1, Helmuth Weidling ordered a breakout. One division, the "Nordland" Division, escaped and was caught outside Berlin.
In the next few days, the various German armies surrendered.
