"World War II has raged in Europe for five long years, but the tide has turned decisively in favor of the Allies. France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Luxembourg, Yugoslavia, Greece, the western part of the Soviet Union, and North Africa have all been occupied at one time, but now the edges of the Nazi Reich are being rolled up."-Purple Hearts by Michael Grant

Yeah, WWII was pretty awful. Must read more now! What about you guys? Happy reading!
