There never will be another November 1918 in Germany history.

It is infantile to hope for the disintegration of our people.

Mr. Churchill may be convinced that Great Britain will win,

I do not doubt for a single moment that Germany will be victorious!

Duke of Windsor

NEWS, 1939 For 25 years, Britain and France have stood side by side,

united by a deep bond.

The old comradery between Tommy and the "poi|u" is back.

The English are no strangers on French soil.

This is the land where their fathers fought before them,

and Napoleon's precept, "an army marches with its belly",

is not forgotten!

Everywhere behind the lines, men are at work,

digging trenches, raising parapets

and solidifying their position.

Viscount Gort, commander-in-chief of the English troops,

hero from the last war,

is working closely with General Gamelin.

France, Spring 1940
