To add to Lakelady's answer and respond to your additional details: race horses, especially sprinters and barrel racers, are capable of such speeds; however, they can usually sustain that speed for only about 2 or 3 miles. Most sprint races are considerably shorter than a mile. A steeple-chaser galloping over a two-mile jump course probably goes 30-35 mph; an eventer galloping over a 6 mile cross-country jump course, in which the huge, tricky fences also tap his energy, probably goes 30 mph max.
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.
