Pigeons don't swim, but they LOVE to bathe in water. They love to be in the rain and if you give them a big pan of water, they will bathe themselves Pigeons perch on the roofs of homes, buildings, trees, telephone lines, but don't swim like ducks in a pond. They often will roll in the dirt or go for a drink of water, but not swim No they don't go in water, ducks and swans go in water Pigeons do swim.
I have seen a pigeon glide in and land on the surface of a lake. It did not land as duck does, with feet facing forward, but it landed with legs tucked up. Then, after a few minutes, I saw it rise flapping mightily.
The lake is about 6 feet deep at the point I saw it. No-one believes me, but it is true Pigeons do swim and I watch pigeons swim in my large garden pond almost every day. They land with wings stretched and stay in the water for approximately three minutes or 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.
