All high-sounding phrases about the Second World War now seem pretentious and templates, and indeed this abbreviation rather is kantselyarizm. Then maybe do without language and just look at the propaganda posters - original and vivid illustrations of the war?
War - it's not just a soldier, all made their contribution.
On heroism inspired women - mothers and wives.
Hatred for the enemy was fierce.
Let the most important words of victory rested, visual art forms in this help. Posters, movies. Reconsider "The Cranes Are Flying", "The Dawns Here Are Quiet ..." "Come and See", "Twenty Days Without War" or other heartbreaking war, pay tribute. And be sure to embrace most of the main characters in your own history.
