Taking legal action against the previous owner that you bought the car from is the dumbest thing you can do can do. I'm sorry, but you should've looked at the car before you bought it. Maybe you can sell it for a different and possibly a better car.
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.
