Description

Were you or your ancestors’ victims of Hitler’s war? Joe and Mike returned from WWI to Tyneside at the end of 1918, alive but walking skeletons. They recover from their life-threatening ordeals with the support of their families and readjust to a radically changed world. However, before long, the fallout from such an expensive war took its toll on their community. The reparations demanded from Germany affected the home front. The Great Depression, profound closures, and unemployment bite, devastating the Industrial Northeast. Joe’s family moved to the south London area for the promise of better prospects. However, before long, they found themselves in a new war during the Blitz, resulting in catastrophic numbers of dead, wounded and homeless around them. How will the Rutherfords survive these crises? Allied Canadian forces joined WWII, and vast numbers of troops arrived to defend the British Islands before being sent to fight the Nazis on the continent. Gunner-driver George forges lasting friendships among his fellow Canadians and the British hosts, meeting Joe’s youngest daughter, Dolly, by accident. They soon marry during one of his leaves and have a baby boy. Then, George is dispatched to the Mediterranean to participate in the Italian Campaign. While in Italy, George frets about his new family. Will his new family survive the Nazi vengeance rocket onslaught on London and Croydon? Will the Allied soldiers survive their daily ordeals on the European battlefields and rejoin their families? This third book of The Rutherford Chronicles tells the frightening personal stories of the people of England and the brave Allied soldiers fighting to defeat Hitler and end the war in Europe. Other personalities include Winston Churchill, General Albert Kesselring, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Bernard Montgomery, General George S. Patton and a murdered Canadian Bombardier.
