The city was heavily violently attacked by the Allies during World War II. Tony spent his childhood there. Shortly before the end of World War II, a British warplane was hit over the city and two pilots were forced to parachute. Like many people who like to watch the lively, 11-year-old Tony ran to the downtown square watch lively. Two police officers came. They have to send pilots to camps.
