Free the Bird From its Cage

Basically, this was a school project I translated in English for fun. It was an interdisciplinary project, meaning it was a mix of 2 or more school subjects. In this case, history and French were chosen. We were asked to write an alternate 'timeline' to a historical event. So to put it simply, we had to write a story based on a "what if..." question, which is consequentially based on a historical fact/event. For example, "What if Hitler was accepted into art school?". We had to answer the question with a story showing what event was changed and what happened from/because of it. I chose Leo Major for the character and the liberation of Zwolle for the event. Anyways, enjoy!
