Hitler's first conquests - Austria, the Sudeten region of
Czechoslovakia, the demilitarized Rhineland - were bloodless. His
first bloody strike east crushed Poland. To the west? On May 10,
1940, the Wehrmacht strikes The Netherlands which Hitler expects
will capitulate within a day or two. He is mistaken. Grebbe Line
defenders exhibit legendary Dutch stubbornness, Hitler's airborne
troops drop onto Rotterdam and The Hague - and meet fierce
opposition, and outnumbered and outgunned Dutch troops change -
unknowingly at the time - the course of WWII and world history. A
stout-hearted queen and a Carmelite priest stand up to Nazism, and
resistance fighters' cunning and courage prove lethal for some of
history's lesser-known bad guys. Two girls emigrate from Romanian
farms to Paris and then Amsterdam and make life-altering choices. A
young American employee of a global steamship company finds himself
swept into this maelstrom. This history-rich saga provides
perspectives little known to Americans.
