 ...for
the Second World War was now beginning!
In 1918, after
four years of devastation, the supposed War To End All Wars came
to a finale. Once proud Germany humbly accepted defeat at the
bayonet point of the Allied armies. Soldiers that had hoped to be
home before the leaves fell finally returned to the lives they had
left behind. Peace was at hand.
Yet the dark
shadow of death and destruction still clung like a shroud to
Europe. Russia plunged into a bloody cultural revolution that
would eat away at the Rodina for decades to come. The world was
wracked with economic failures unlike anything seen before. The
victorious Allies began to fracture, distrustful of each other,
and in some cases even began to turn into future enemies. And in
Germany, broken and debased by the peace treaties of 1918, a
failed artist ascended to power...
In September
1939 what had been building up since the end of the Great War
finally boiled over. The German Wehrmacht supported by the
Luftwaffe crossed into Poland under the pretense of defending the
Fatherland from Polish aggression. With that history was made as
the Great War became known as the First World War, for the Second
World War was now beginning!
