What would you do if you knew what was going to happen? Would you use your knowledge of history to change it or would you stand by and allow it to occur? Even small actions could have massive consequences. Lives could be saved or destroyed; choices made could present the possibility that you may never have been born. When the most destructive war in history is about to start, there is no way of telling if your knowledge of it would help. The far reaching consequences provide for an excellent story telling vehicle where the war itself is also a character.
