IT BEGAN TEN YEARS AGO
Tan years ago it started - the most devastating, costly,
earth-shaking war in human history. At dawn pn September
1, 1939, Germany's high-riding Fuehrer, Adolf Hitler, sent
his crack mechanized troops racing into Poland. Soon Great
Britain and France came into the fight, and before long the
flames of war crackled over the entire European continent
and Asia and Africa as well. Hitler's War has been over four
years now, but Europe is still in turmoil because of it. The
destruction, revolution and political upheavals it has caused
may leave their mark for centuries. Here are highlights of the
European struggle which overturned the world.
