Yeah, it's from Rita's book: "... Dumbledore delayed, for some five 
years of turmoil, fatalities, and disappearances, his attack upon 
Gellert Grindelwald" ("The Life and Lies ...", p.359 Am ed.). As for 
your question, I believe that it's not five years from the time DD and 
GG parted ways, but five years from the time GG started taking over 
Europe and the wizarding community turned to DD in the hope that he 
would interfere - probably from 1940 to 1945. Hope this helps,
