It should never had happened. They should have never met. Neither should have been where they were in that moment in time in the crossroads of history. But it did happen, and they did meet, despite the million to one odds that so often left forks in the path during World War 2. Almost every life on the planet was changed to some degree, some most profound. Some entire generations were destroyed, while others were created. Somewhere in your recent past, there is a story not unlike this one. What was history like before it was history? What was it like in their world?
