I'm Angela O'Dell and you are listening to Real Cool History for Kids, a podcast show

featuring history stories told from a biblical world view.

Welcome to an adventure.

Welcome to Real Cool History for Kids. This is Episode 38.

A couple of months ago, I told you the stories of a couple of abandoned yet well-preserved locations

with links to the Second World War, which took place in the middle of the 20th century.

This was the war in which the evil German dictator Adolf Hitler tried to take over Europe.

Hitler and several other power-hungry leaders caused some pretty horrific damage and loss of life

to many nations across Europe.

On one side was Hitler and his cronies, Italy and Japan, who were called the Axis.

And on the other side were the Allied forces, made up of the United States, Great Britain,

the Soviet Union and China, and a large number of smaller nations around the world.

In that past episode, that was Episode 32, we learned about the Chiselhurst Chokmine

where tens of thousands of London citizens sought shelter underground

while the Nazis bombed their homes and businesses above them.

We learned about how the refugees created an entire town underground.

We also learned about the secret war rooms, where the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill

strategized to hold the Hitler's Army and Air Force at bay.

If you haven't listened to Episode 32, I highly suggest that you do so.

It is very, very interesting.

In this month's episodes, I'm going to tell you some, while they're very special stories,

about two of the most interesting, yet little-known teens of heroes of World War II.
