"Also winners." The neutral countries of Europe and France in World War II.

Куркин Б.А. (Kurkin B. A.)

This book offers a number of historical miniatures linked by a joint idea – to determine the place and role of the neutral countries of Europe during the Second World War – Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, and also France. It examines the myth about these countries’ active resistance to Nazism, and shows the role of the most active parts of these states in the joint aggression with Hitler’s Germany against USSR–Russia.

‘The deeds of bygone years’ are refracted through the fate and actions of historical personae, who have determined the physiognomy of the history of these countries: monarchs, commanders and war leaders conscious of, or more often not conscious of ‘where the turn of events is leading them’. The book illuminates historical information and facts that are not well-known, or known only to a narrow circle of specialists.

The publication is aimed at a wide circle of readers who are interested in history, the human’s place in history, and those who like discovering life.
