It was Hitler's will-power and the fear he
ignited in other people's minds which made him successful in Czechoslovakia and Poland. Hitler
fearlessly manoeuvred his army into the western side of Poland on the 1st
of September,1939 with the strong belief that Mr. Chamberlain, British PM does
not have the courage to resist the German invasion. With the agreement signed
by Hitler with Stalin, the Soviet military stepped into the eastern side of Poland on
september 17th.
Many had arrived at the British
Embassy in Warsaw
to flee the country before anything bad happened. But only those with British
passports were being allowed. Eva Weitzman, a Jewish pole, was one of them
praying for a miracle. After sometime a girl came to Eva and gave her a British
passport asking her to take it. The girl was a Jewess named rachel, daughter of
Rabbi Aaron Lubetkin. The passport was a forged one sent to her by John Murphy,
a vehement anti-Nazi chief of TENS news agency. She did not want to leave the
country without her parents and her 3 brothers. Eva escaped the wrath of Hitler
to England
to Murphy.On her way she met an enthusiastic American photographer, Mac Mcgrath
who tried to cover the whole story of the outbreak of the war,believing that if
he told the truth, the world would rise up and put an end to Hitler’s evil
plans.
Kevin Miller and the other Irish
recruits of the Reich had spread out to the
different parts of England
to sabotage and assassinate politicians, members of Western press, Christian
clergy, military men, Jews and their families. Winston Churchill and John
Murphy were among the prime ones of their list. Therefore bodyguards were set
for them and their families. Even though England
and France declared war
against Germany on September
3rd, Germanycontinued to strafe Poland and captured warsaw on
september 27th. The preparations for war were done to defend the
cities of Britain
and France with compulsory
blackouts and movement of women and children to safer places like Wales. The
British army was moved to French frontiers to protect theMaginot line.
Journalists and military men flocked into lodges in the war frontiers.
The SS had started massacring Jews as soon as
the Polish army fell into the hands of the Germans. The savage act of the SS
made even some of the german majors like
Horst von Bockman to protest the ruthless execution of the women and children
particularly. Such protests were trampled by the fierce threats against their
families. Several kind Germans like the wife of Horst, Katrina housed dozens of
small children who were refugees and a Jewish family in the name of looking
after her horses. The SS imposed harsh laws on the Jews like they shouldn’t go
out of their houses without wearing an yellow band on their hands so that they
could be easily recognized and if one person in a family was caught for
something, the whole family would be arrested. The soldiers silently sread
messages about impending raids and forced the people mentally to flee in the
night which usually led to their capture. Lubetkin family was also caught by
the SS and were brought to a hall were hundreds of other Jews were present who
were to be moved later by train to another place.
The agents from England
and France
spilled their lives in the hands of Gestapo on their missions to sabotage the
Nazi leadership. The modern theories of warfare which were devised in France and Britain
and were neglected in those countries were greatly regarded in Germany like
the theory put up by a French colonel named de Gaulle which is the best work on
the use of motorized units in modern warfare.
Elisa, Murphy’s wife, and Lori,
her friend, with Eva moved to Wales following the murder of Pastor Ibsen,
father of Lori, in a Nazi jail, to Wales were Lori’s mother was staying. Two
murder attempts by the Nazi agents followed them on their way to and at Wales but had
narrow escapes with God’s grace. Jacob, Lori’s husband, was in Poland while Germany invaded it. He escaped it
with Alfie and a dozen others uder the leadership of Samuel Orde on a boat but
were caught at someplace by the Ukrainians. Later they were freed by the
members of a Jewish organization on their work. Then Orde and his team drove
their boat out to the Medittarranean going past English and German ships without being noticed to reach the
promised land. The baby Yacov in Lubetkin family was rescued by a couple from
being killed by the SS before they left on train through a planned drama and
the child was taken to Father Kopecky, a Catholic priest who was a friend of
Aaron. While Mac is on the French frontiers he comes to know about his love for
Eva has been recognized by her through Murphy who went to him for covering the
story about the upcoming war.

is going to happen after this. The answer to this question mark is ‘PARIS
