quotations for world war II

Accidents
As he opened the gate, he noticed me about 800 feet above and in front of him. They both remained motionless, staring. I then realized that my appearance was a bit odd. My right leg was no longer with me...the leather belt which attached it to my body had broken under the strain, and the leg, the Spitfire, and I had all parted company.
Douglas Bader (1910 - 1982)


Adolf Hitler
A racing tipster who only reached Hitler's level of accuracy would not do well for his clients.
A. J. P. Taylor (1906 - 1990) British historian


Fascism is a religion; the twentieth century will be known in history as the century of Fascism.
Benito Mussolini (1883 - 1945)
Italian dictator, 1933

I have only one purpose, the destruction of Hitler, and my life is much simplified thereby. If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons.
Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
British prime minister and writer.

I should be pleased, I suppose, that Hitler has carried out a revolution on our lines. But they are Germans. So they will end by ruining our idea.
Benito Mussolini (1883 - 1945)
Italian dictator, 1935.

I wouldn't believe Hitler was dead, even if he told me so himself.
Attributed to Hjalmar Schacht (1877 - 1970).

The Italians will laugh at me; every time Hitler occupies a country he sends me a message.
Benito Mussolini (1883 - 1945)
Italian dictator.

Behavior
It was Hitler's cognitive dissonance that enabled him to go on talking of victory as the Russians approached the suburbs of Berlin...Without this fatal schizotypal characteristic, the war may have ended somewhat earlier.
Anthony Stevens (1933 - )
British psychiatrist.

Benito Mussolini
This whipped jackal...is frisking up by the side of the German tiger.
Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
British prime minister and writer

cold war
An iron curtain has descended across the Continent.
Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
British prime minister and writer.

Civilization
I regard everything that has happened since the last war as a decline in civilization.
