Calcined Earth - WW2

On the Desert:


“This land was made for war. As glass resists the bite of vitriol, so this hard and calcined earth rejects the battle’s hot, corrosive impact. Here is no nubile, girlish land; no green and virginal countryside for war to violate. This land is hard. Inviolable.” 



-The World at War, prologue of narrator, ep08
