Rebecca doesn't just defy the strictures of her u...

Nikki
Nikki had never heard of Casablanca until the movie came out with Humphrey Bogart. She never dreamed that at the age of 22 she would be living there, much less involved in an intrigue. She felt very insecure at that time when her husband, Roger, left her alone in Marrekech and the Pasha tried to get her. She had been raised very strictly by her aunt and uncle and was very naive when she married him at age 18. Now she was seeing the world. She never dreamed that she would fall in love with Roger's best friend. How was this going to wind up? She didn't know what to do. She never dreamed that she would be living the life she was living and though she loved it, she also longed for the security of the days when she was young.

Germany and the Second World War
By the spring of 1943, after the defeat at Stalingrad, the writing was on the wall. But while commanders close to the troops on Germany's various fronts were beginning to read it, those at the top were resolutely looking the other way. This seventh volume in the magisterial 10-volume series from the Militärgeschichtliches Forschungsamt [Research Institute for Military History] shows both Germany and her Japanese ally on the defensive, from 1943 into early 1945.
