One of the fascinating things with looking at history chronologically in real time, the way we do on WW2, is to see things in a different perspective. To a normal Joe or Jane living in the US in 1941, events at the end of the year may have looked a lot more sudden than they were, and we see in our series. For anyone learning about WW2 in the broad strokes, the US entry into the war will look even more sudden.

But here, on TimeGhost we have, not only the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, but also insight into things that ordinary folk back then didn't see. And when you lay that out in real time, the historiography stops being a series of plot points with drastic turns, and it becomes a gradual grinder of events, many with monumental meaning, but perhaps not immediate impact. The meeting between Churchill and FDR this week is such an event that tracks the baby steps that led to that which we all know eventually happened.

It is this journey of discovery that we have embarked on together with you all. It is your membership in the TimeGhost Army that enables the rest of the world to also discover it together with us all. So not only do we owe you a debt of gratitude for enabling us to do this, but every viewer that comes across our content do as well. So in the name of entire TimeGhost community: Thank you!
