The war starts in 1940 with the German invasion of the Soviet Union, as inaction from France and the United Kingdom allowed the German Reich to conquer Poland (required by the narrative, along the expanded Axis, in order for the war to not simply be a CurbStompBattle for the Allies). The inclusion of Brazil under Integralist rule in the Axis also adds a South American Theatre to the war.

* Songs about longing for an absent lover's return have always been popular, but those from the Forties – "Till Then", "I'll Be Seeing You", "Waiting For The Train To Come In", etc. – take on greater significance when you think about what was going on when they were recorded.
