Hey, I was just think9ng the other day and I know that JRR himself avidly claimed that hiss books were not allegory, but the Two Towers seems to be quite parallel to the events of WWII. Here are some parallels I drew:
Rohan=Poland
Isengard=Germany
Gondor=England
The Ents=USA
Mordor=Russia(?)
Anyway, this would make sense, seing that this was written in that time period.
