The Missing Pages

About the Book

This book contains fascinating behind-the-scenes stories that were left off the history pages of World War II—personal experiences and episodes that were never completely revealed before, sometimes on purpose, covered up or just plain fabricated. You will find this rare collection of war stories quite unusual and, in some cases, hard to believe. Stories that were discovered hiding just beneath the surface of recorded incidents, while others came from ordinary people who experienced the unusual, and often bizarre, that only those war years could provide. Most certainly you will learn something you probably never knew before about these incredible events and the extraordinary people who were there and survived those times that changed the world forever.
