In most legends, the so called devils or enemy of gods wanted to help the human race. They tried and did manage to teach humans of skills and knowledge forbidden by god/s. Skills that we now take for granted like making fire, medicine, chemistry, metallurgy, etc. what you should question is why god desired to keep those skills hidden from humans.
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.
