    The Second World War

  20. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    Q. Should we discourage children from playing war games?
     
    A. We might wish to discourage them, but it would be utterly useless at the present time, so we might as well give in gracefully and try to see that when war games are played they teach the lessons which we wish our children to learn — ­fair play, magnanimity in victory, courage in defeat and no hatred of peoples.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1942-08), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59

  26. Harry's Last Stand

    The First Day of the Long Peace
    May 8, 1945
    JM Smith

    "The last week of war before the long peace was chaotic. The refugee encampment was off limits. However, I was part of a team that set up a food distribution tent near the shantytown of displaced Germans. We were told to look for SS soldiers and officers who might be hiding amongst the refugees. I never got sight of any."
