Time line of battles in World War 2?

A day-by-day account of WW2, also separated out into particular campaigns, can be found at: angelfire.com Germany invaded Poland on the 1st of September 1939, which is often taken as the beginning of WW2 (Britain declared war on Germany as of 11am on September 3rd) When WW2 started is not a perfectly tidy question though, as Italy was still neutral at this point, Russia was already in conflict with Japan, and Japanese forces had been active in China for years. While still neutral in the Allied/German war, Russia also attacked Finland in November 1939.

Weapons froze, so men urinated on them to thaw them. The temperature during January 1945 was the coldest on record, and casualties from exposure to the cold grew as large as the losses from fighting.Much of the battle was affected by the weather.

Do all affairs end badly?

Original Answer:For somebody, one or the other, most likely, yes. Another OpinionAffairs can end badly if you let them. Keep in mind that affairs become painful because one of the parties wants more then the other can or is prepared to give. An Opinion about the Emotions and AdrenalinAs someone who had an affair I can tell you that it is emotions on adrenalin which for some people may be way too much. I wouldn't have traded the experience for the world, however I can tell you that I will likely not have another affair because of the emotional highs and lows. We (the person I was having an affair with) and I have weaned ourselves off each other because we both recognized that we were starting think emotionally and not logically. An Opinion on Amicability Being a PossibilityI would say that in our case (which may be rare) our affair has ended amicably. We are both friends (though we don't see each other) and we don't have hard feelings about the experience. We both learned a hell of a lot from it.

ANSWER:

Most affair can end badly especially if the other woman wants more than being part time lover. Second reason why it can end badly is the married man will share and tell all what he wants to tell to other woman ( emotional affair) so she will feel bad for this married man, and knowing she thought he trusted her enough to tell everything about his problem she will think that there's a future for both of them but didn't happen.

My personal experience, if I didn't discovered the love affair of the man I married, he will not stop or let me just say not planning to break his relationship with her. Unfortunately I discovered it without a warning so that day he called her and end it or else bad thing might happen. And the result of his affair, it end before he can paln it to end, so now even it's been 4 years now this woman still bothers me, even he doesn't live with us anymore.
