The Suicide Exhibition: the Never War (Never War 1)
“Perhaps it was the opening of the Russian Front, or maybe it was because he was away from the constant updates of the Foreign Office, but it did seem to Guy as if the conflict was slowing down. The most immediate reminder of the war was the bombing of London, but since late May even that had eased. By the start of September 1941, a year after it first started, the Blitz seemed to have petered out. The threat was always there, but the bombers came less frequently.
As a soldier, Guy had been in t...he thick of things – literally on the front line. In the Foreign Office he was a step removed, but still very much caught up in day-to-day events. Now, at Station Z, his work was further divorced from the actual combat. Apart from the bombing, the most effect it had was that he now had to use margarine coupons to buy clothes.
In early July, Sarah told him that she’d heard American troops had landed in Iceland to prevent a possible German occupation. Perhaps after all, the US was about to enter the war.MoreLess
