The reader gets to know what role animals played at the battlefields. Furthermore, he finds out that the interest in art and culture was just the same at the days of war as today. This book offers many chapters about everyday life in these days, but also curiosities, such as soldiers drinking the fuel of flying bombs and of torpedos, while others distillated alcohol in the ships' machine rooms or made ice cream during their flight missions. On these pages, you can find all kinds of curiosities, such as the origin of the spaguetti a la carbonara or the fateful destiny of Mussolini's and Goering's ships or the fact that Hitler watched the "The grate dictator" by Chaplin. But the reader will be mostly surprised by Eisenhower, because as he was voted for president of the United States of America, he copied the plans of the autobahn from Hitler. All these anecdotes show the reader the other side of this bloody conflict (1939), a tragedy that holds many curiosities and surprises for everybody who is interested in history
