It is two years this week since Germany invaded Poland. That European conflict soon became a global one. Japans invasion of China began two years before that, but with Japan allied to the Axis Powers, they are now the same conflict. Those Axis are all fighting together now to try and defeat the Soviet Union, but the war has grown not just in the scale of the armies fighting, but also in the scale of mans inhumanity to man. We see that this week in German occupied territory.
