With the hilarious and macabre tone of Horrible Histories, the book recounts the most gruesome episodes of the Second World War: elderly men enlisted in Dad's Army, twelve-year-old boys defending Berlin, soldiers who ate worms out of necessity, and fighters so smelly that their enemies located them by scent.

For children and young readers aged 8 to 12, especially those seeking history told with irreverent humour.
