THE NATURAL HISTORY OF DESTRUCTION

Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's
a great a great pleasure for me

to come here today to see you.

It's not kind of me to come at all. It's
a great pleasure and a great privilege.

Because I feel that we
must get to know each other.

You make all the things which I
use, therefore we've got to cooperate.

And I don't believe you can have
any real cooperation between people

unless they know each other.

You've got to see each other and know
each other and establish great confidence.

Now you can't do that unless we see people
and I’ve come here today and I can see you

and I've been looking at you all.

I mean, you can have a look at me
and if you think that's a good thing to do.

We can all. We can all see each other.

And I hope that, as a result of that,
we will now have that confidence,

great confidence, each in the other,

which is going to carry us
through to the end of this war.

Now why is it? Why is it
that today the tide has turned,

and we are beating the Germans and
coming towards the final climax of the war?

I tell you why it is.

It’s because we've got far the best
equipment and we’ve got far the best men

and women too. Far the best.

I can tell you that our British equipment

is far superior to the equipment of
the enemy because I've seen both.

I know ours and I've seen the
enemies and it's very very good.

Now the great thing when you go fighting

of course my business
as you know, is fighting,

fighting the Germans or anybody
else too who wants to have a fight.

The only uncertain thing now is
when the war is going to end, when.

Well, you can choose your
own date and put the money on.

I got some money on.
I won't tell you my date.

There's no shadow of that, no shadow
of doubt that this war is going to end

in the only proper way.
The only proper way.

And in none other, there's not
the slightest shadow of doubt.

Now when you come back
from the battlefront as I have,

and you come to the home front

one is filled with admiration for
what's going on at home, this country.

And when you compare the two fronts,
the battle front and the home front,

I would say that is the home front…

That's far the most important
of the two far the most important.

And I used to feel that, you know, when I
was fighting away in the desert or in Italy,

the soldiers used to be anxious
sometimes about their people of help.

And as long as they knew
as long as a soldier knew

that all was well on the home
front, they didn't care for anything,

but they had to know that.

And so you see why this home
front is so terribly important.

I feel I know you. I don't say I know
you all, there are too many of you.

But maybe you’ll know me next time
we meet, and I believe that's a good thing.

We know each other.

Between us we can do anything
and will. We will do anything.

Good-bye to you all. Thank you very much.

Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery

Now. Now we are no longer unarmed.

We are well-armed. Now, we are not alone.

We have mighty allies bound irrevocably
by solemn faith and common interests.

To stand with us in the
ranks of the United Nations.

That can only be one end. When it will
come or how it will come, I cannot tell.

But when we survey the overwhelming
resources which are at our disposal

once they are fully marshalled and
developed as they can be, as they will be,

We may strive forward into the
unknown with growing confidence.

We are in a position to carry into Germany
many times the tonnage of high explosives,

which he can send here. And
this proportion will increase

All of summer, all the autumn,
all of winter, all of spring,

all of summer and so on. Till the end.

We have a long list of German cities

in which the vital industries of the
German war machine are established.

For these, it will be our
stern duty to deal with,

as we have already dealt with Lubeck, with
Rostock and half-a-dozen important places.

The civil population of Germany

have, however, an easy way
to escape from the severities.

All they have to do is to leave the cities
where munition work is being carried on.

Abandon their work
and go out into the field

and watch the home fires
burning, from a distance.

Therefore, tonight I give
you a message of good cheer.

You deserve it. And the banks endorse it.

But be it good cheer or be it
bad cheer will make no difference.

We should drive on to the
end. And do our duty, win or die.

God helping us. We can do no other.

Winston Churchill

Cologne, Lübeck, Rostock,
those are really just the beginning.

Let the Nazis take good
note of the western horizon

where they will see a cloud as
yet no bigger than a man's hand.

But behind that cloud

lies the whole massive
power of the United States of America.

When a storm bursts over Germany,

they will look back to the days of
Lubeck and Rostock and Cologne

as a man caught in
the blast of a hurricane,

will look back to the gentle
zephyrs of last summer.

A lot of people who say that
bombing can never win a war.

Well, my answer to that is that it has
never been tried yet, and we shall see.

Germany clinging ever more and more
desperately to her widespread conquests

and foolishly striving for more will
make a most interesting initial experiment.

Air Marshal Arthur T. Harris, a.k.a. “Bomber Harris”

… the sacrifices that the
population in the air war zones has

had to make almost night after
night for weeks and months.

Our enemies are attacking
them in their belongings

and lives with a brutal cynicism in
order to wear down their war morale.

They openly admit that too.

What they destroy of German cultural values
in the process will be their eternal shame.

But they want more.

They are waging war against
the moral attitude of our people.

They kill civilian life, old
people, women and children,

and hardly make an effort to put a humane
cloak around this infamous blood terror.

We Germans of today

are not the sort to beg for leniency
from an enemy bent on our destruction.

We know that there is only
one effective remedy against

the British-American
bomb terror: counter-terror!

Joseph Goebbels
