THE SEEDS OF VICTORY ARE SOWN

摘要

In the six years of World War II, 1942 was the year that was. Between 1939 and 1945, pivotal events occurred in each calendar year, alternately favoring the Axis Powers, who started the war, then the Allies. But 1942 marked the flood tide of Axis misfortunes, a situation from which they never recovered. That year both sides experienced vaulting victories and crushing defeats, including the immense global war in the air. Yet the world was a much different place on December 31,1942, than it had been on January 1,1942.
