Introduction
Good morning and Hello! I am Auschwitz Komorowski. I am a traveller. Another of my hobbies is analysing wars, especially World Wars. I come from Poland. I have loved travelling since I was born in 1925. When I was three years old, my father took me to London. I was fascinated by what I saw. When World War II started in 1941, I started travelling all over the worst-affected-by-the-war areas in both Allied and Axis countries including the US, France, the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and the Philippines. I am just about to tell you some of my most horrible adventures in the next chapters.
P.S. I added both of my hobbies together in this book, as you can see that I am talking about travelling around during a World War.
PEARL HARBOUR, 1941Pearl Harbour, 1941
When the attack on Pearl Harbour was launched by the Imperial Japanese Navy, I was spending a holiday in Hawaii. You see, Pearl Harbour is within naked-eye distance of Hawaii, so when I turned on the radio and it began broadcasting "This is no test! I repeat, this is no test! We can see the Japanese planes..." I immediately ran out and looked in the direction of Pearl Harbour, and, sure enough, I saw many planes (I counted two hundred and seventy of them) flying at full speed towards the island. I was horrified to see huge clouds of black smoke rising into the air. Later that night, I sailed to the harbour just when the Enterprise, an aircraft carrier came in. I talked with its captain, Captain Bill (his crew gave him the nickname Captain Ball) and he told me that the Japanese Navy officers destroyed most of the entire U.S Pacific Fleet. I was horrified to hear that. Days later, the U.S declared war on Japan.
LENINGRAD, 1941Leningrad, 1941
After Pearl Harbour, I went to Leningrad (now called Volgagrad) in the Soviet Union, hoping to witness a war. Well, in fact, it turned out that I was stuck in a siege that lasted for nine hundred days and nights―which is a lot worse than a war. In truth, this siege was one of the longest sieges ever endured by a modern city. Now I shall discuss the siege briefly in the next paragraphs:
First 100 days: Day 1: The Germans invade and storm through neighbouring areas, cutting Leningrad off from the rest of the Soviet Union. Day 2-Day 50: The people are hopeful of a quick recovery. Meanwhile food is becoming scarcer and scarcer. The Red Army soldiers are quite unable to hold the front. Day 51-Day 100: Every day Soviet fighter aircraft anxiously search for ice forming in the river Volga.
Next 100 days: Finally, ice forms solid enough over the river Volga to allow the first Soviet trucks, tanks and other military reinforcements to reach soldiers in Leningrad. They are also carrying food like bread for the Leningraders. Meanwhile, back in the front, the soldiers are barely able to hold back the millions of German, Italian and Rumanian troops, tanks, heavy artillery and other military hardware. The Germans shell the ice road (also known as the road of life) continually.
All the remaining days: The Germans continue shelling the ice road mercilessly. Food is almost gone. The soldiers try to force the Axis troops and other military hardware into areas already zeroed in on by Russian artillery and blow them to bits by a murderous baptism of fire in a desperate attempt to regain control of the city.
The final day: It was a wonderful day. Three rockets coloured red, white and blue fly into the sky. This marks the freedom of Leningrad from a devastating Axis siege. This, along with Stalingrad, spelt the beginning of the end of the Nazi German regime.
