Understanding the Midhurst District in WW2 needs appreciation of how WW2 formed over the 1930s. Hitler''s rise to absolute power by 1933 started his insane plan to build a 1000yr Third German Reich by heinous means, including educating German boys to become dispensable soldiers, and the nation''s girls to be mothers of his master race.
Book 2 explores how Hitler brought about WW2 through dishonest political manoeuvring, and military force not seen before. Why did Britain hold back its condemnation and retaliation? Who were the Good and the Evil combatants as the world was dragged back into all-out war?
Peter Sydenham digs deep to explain the impact of war on life in the Midhurst District as war was developing. German Fascism was operating just a few miles away. Goering and Ribbentrop are said to have come to town! Who were the forgotten local heroes?
