      That explains the neutral tone. It’s something important far away.

        Well, the Union of South Africa were participants in the war against Germany, so that’s still a bit weird. Don’t know about the affiliation of the magazine in question, but the support for joining the allies wasn’t clear cut, but only a narrow majority among the ruling white class.

        Also that newspaper is called “The Fatherland”.

        It’s a pretty good hint of where they stand in the whole Left-Right political spectrum.

        Alright this is what I understand as a dutchie

        Hitler is dead and Dönitz is now the leader in Germany, a British newspaper writes today: “Never before in history has the perspective of peace been so ?? made a possibility of the long war”

        The sentence structure is pretty confusing to me and I don’t know some words

          Thanks you beat me to it.

          Yeah it’s something like how abrupt the change of prospect is from an extended war to peace.
