#TBRtemptation I have been up to my eyeballs with WWII era books, and yet they keep finding me. While at my father in law's house (a genius on all things WWII), we unearthed thousands of books, and this was one of them. A book about the soldier's song that united people in the fight against the Nazis. Guess I can read yet another book on this era, but maybe after a happy book or two.

Lidia That sounds so interesting! WWII books are my favorites too 7y
