It is true when they say “History is written by the victors”. When we read about WW2 from any book this is what we generally see. The Germans who are the personification of evil, an army from the depths of the underworld itself attack the defenseless allied nations. Yet despite all shortcomings, the heroes(allied forces) somehow overthrow the overlord and save the world. The wording may differ but this is exactly how the Second World War is portrayed. The facts have been twisted to the extreme. The Second World War was a power struggle on a whole other level. Nothing in this war was pretty. No one was holy, not by a long shot. Poland which was attacked first by Germany fell quickly not because it was a peace-loving nation with no army. Poland had the fourth largest army in Europe at the time she was invaded.
