The outbreak of war
This week, the Imperial War Museum in London opened a fascinating new exhibition to mark the outbreak of World War Two on 3 September 1939 seventy years ago. The exhibition is called Outbreak 1939 and I visited it on the first day that it was open to the public.
Of course, when you think the Second World War began will probably depend on your nationality. So for the Czechs and Slovaks, effectively the war began in September 1938 which is the theme of one of my short stories entitled “The Edge Of War”.
