I have written a world war two historical novel based on the true story of an English woman who lived through the war in Nazi Austria, then a part of the German Reich. Her marriage broke up in 1942 and she then had to fend for herself. She was in Vienna during the bombing of that city, and experienced the Russian assault in April 1945. Somehow she survived to return to England and start another family, and became, eventually, my mother.

After the War a mad scramble was in place to build as quickly as possible. Little though was given to the actual houses as long as people had somewhere to live. A decision regretted by councils many times. But what else could they have done?Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121343822034696966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-6840139689171388952015-03-07T22:44:59.405-08:002015-03-07T22:44:59.405-08:00The devastation shown in the photo is horrendous. ...The devastation shown in the photo is horrendous.

Just look at Israel today and how many people want to wipe them off the face of the earth.<br /><br />My father's line is German by name, I never knew if I liked that... wasn't sure why. Then, we found out that, though we came from Germany, most of our surenames are of Jewish ancestry as much as German.<br /><br />My parents are too young to have lived through the war...but it still seems like a close connection to me.

Sad to see that generation leave us. I feel we have missed so many of their stories. I am just completing historical fiction romance featuring a soldier from the U.S. 10th Division Alpine Ski troops during WWII. After training they served in Italy where much of my story takes place. They are a wonderful group of men, so interesting. My research was enlightening and so very educational. There is a wonderful youtube tribute to them. Photos set to music. Rather haunting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tJCjLtlybU Thank you for your blog.Jfayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16564111319910149608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-63093983470785693152014-12-12T04:31:06.805-08:002014-12-12T04:31:06.805-08:00You must have some great stories to tell, djkelly ...You must have some great stories to tell, djkelly , Thank you so must for telling me and your kind commentsLizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121343822034696966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-55547402642075863682014-12-06T21:11:02.364-08:002014-12-06T21:11:02.364-08:00Great stories, warmly written, Elisabeth.

I made mention of my book Behind the Mask on a historical blog site and someone commented it didn't belong there. My dad fought with the free French and my mom worked in the American Consulate. She occasionally passed on clandestine notes. My book, though a romance, is fiction is mixed with stories from family and friends who lived in France in the 1940s. If anyone is interested in reading a pre released copy in PDF form I'd love to know your thoughts as I am anything but a WWII expert. <br />Contact me at: riteromance@aol.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10500516984337383258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456802468539868519.post-28776055606921215072014-08-26T00:33:37.834-07:002014-08-26T00:33:37.834-07:00SAT wrong answers penalty is very heavy and studen...SAT wrong answers penalty is very heavy and students should very careful in first attempting.
