This is the second installment in Eric Ludy's winter Daily Thunder series, 1940, which follows the epic storyline of Hitler's rise to power in Europe in the the '30's and Great Britain's unexpected stand to thwart his progress. In this episode, Eric travels back to the Versailles Treaty in 1919 and shows how victory can be gained only to be lost through ease, comfort, and folly. The quality of watchfulness is an essential ingredient in the maintenance of strength and triumph over the passage of time.
