Stop WPF failing silently?

You might have strange behaviours when your events handlers do not match the required signature. Most simple for your issue is to have your Visual Studio stop on first chance exceptions. Go in Debug menu, exception sub menu, here you can choose which exception will stop the application.

Note also that first chance exception are displayed in the immediate window (Debug / Window / Immediate).

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.
