Through numerous strokes of fate, the crew survived a run of missions with the “bloody” 492nd Bomb Group, a unit that endured an 80 percent casualty rate as the men faced down the seemingly unstoppable German Luftwaffe.

Doug Heywood was a teenager when he discovered, in a shoebox hidden in a wardrobe, hundreds of letters, all written by his father, Scott Heywood.

These letters tell of an enduring love – and also, intriguingly, of how Scott dealt with the most brutally testing circumstances.

Margaret Kennedy was an acclaimed novelist and playwright best-known for The Constant Nymph. In this autobiographical account, taken from her war diaries, she conveys the tension, frustration, and bewilderment of the progression of the war, and the terror of knowing that the worst is to come, but not yet knowing what the worst will be. English bravery, confusion, stubbornness, and dark humor provide the more hopeful side of her experiences, in which she and her children move from Surrey to Cornwall, to sit out the war amidst a quietly efficient Home Guard and the most scandalous rumors.

Un número de víctimas difícil de concebir, jamás superado por ningún otro conflicto; las masas de hombres, mujeres y recursos movilizados en una guerra que sacudió hasta los confines más remotos del planeta; la batalla ideológica entre el totalitarismo y la democracia, entre el fascismo y el comunismo, las pasiones y odios que despertó....

En el año 1941, Winston Churchill, expuso públicamente la idea de que al finalizar la contienda debería enjuiciarse a toda la cúpula del régimen nazi.

Este audiolibro contiene los dos últimos días del Diario de la WWII y un breve resumen de los juicios posteriores.
