As the Islands are not very large (the largest Island is 2 miles wide) a car is not needed for a holiday on the Islands. It is very easy to get around the Islands on foot or bicycle (bike hire available on St Mary's and Tresco). Bus tours, boat trips and a taxi service are also available on St Mary's.
On rare occasions it may be possible to take a car but this is reserved for cases when it really cannot be avoided. Please be aware all large freight is craned on and off the ferry as it is not a roll-on-roll-off service. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
