Blood & Soil: The Fall of Poland and The Battle of France

The setting is the beginning of the Second World War. The Soviets and Nazis have signed a non-aggression pact and divided Europe into zones of control. On August 1, the Wehrmacht invades Poland. Behind them Special Action Groups begin the process of imposing a New Order, a racial hierarchy wherein the German people are the Master Race. Like all the books in the series, Blood & Soil is the story of people caught in events. There is Jean Paul Sartre, the French writer, called to active duty and stationed on the Maginot Line. There is J.W.C. Simpson, who flies a Hawker Hurricane for the RAF. There is Dr. Zygmunt Klukowsi in Szczebrzeszyn, Poland, recording the effects of the New Order for the Polish Underground. Blood & Soil is composed of diary entries, memoirs, situation reports, radio transcipts, news and feature articles, and other historical documents selected not only for their ability to illluminate the past, but for their relevance in terms of the times in which we live.
