Atkinson's Trilogy of the 2nd World War, needs you to read these two books, A Higher Call and Freedoms Forge, also, for an overall view..

Just had to bring these two books to your attention if you are reading the trilogy by Atkinson, as I am.  Read  these two books first., if you can, or stop where you are and  read these books, then go back to Atkinson.

A Higher Call
This is about the war in Africa, concerning the Air force, which fits in with the first book in the trilogy.
The miraculous act of human kindness, by a German pilot  that saved one of our bloody and torn planes and crew from instant death as they flew toward England..  It chokes you up...!!!

Freedoms Forge....

This is about the effort in the homeland, that will help you understand as Atikinson talks about the goods and services pouring in from the States, so many that we had to use them for ballast going back to the States.  Our incredible people, our genius leaders, who made it happen,  the lives we lost ....can only be measured by the lives we saved in the long run.  It was a hard decision to face...for the commanders and for the people supplying support in the homeland....war is not pretty!
