War Diaries, 1939–1945

Daily life in Stockholm during the war, life that was strangely normal compared to the chaos elsewhere on the continent. Diary entries are mostly about her husband and children (illnesses, poor grades - some things never change!) but she obsessively clipped newspaper articles about the war and was as afraid of the Soviets as she was of the Germans. Gained a better understanding of Finland's situation immediately before and during the war (the definition of “no-win”).
