Hopefully not. I would like to think that because of his abuse, he would not want the same for his children and would love and protect them at all costs.
Even though us men are very good about locking our emotions into a weighted box and throwing them into the ocean, I think it's very possible for someone that's been abused to feel that way. In order to overcome that, they would probably need to have the type of relationship opposite of the one his parent's had during the time of abuse.
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.
