Correct. The master plan for it was being developed early in that year at the Wannsee Conference. I know I didn't specifically asked for that date.

There was an unusually big quake around that time in Lisbon with a tremendous impact on western Europe. Need to check the year.

Bingo Thomas, that'll do!
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, also known as the "Great Lisbon Earthquake and the "Disaster at Lisbon", occurred in the Kingdom of Portugal on Saturday, 1 November 1755, the Catholic holiday of All Saints' Day, at around 9:40 am.
Chronologically, it was the third known large-scale earthquake to hit the city (following those of 1321 and 1531). Estimates place the death toll in Lisbon around 30,000–40,000. A further 10,000 may have died in Morocco.
