winston churchill “at four o’clock this morning, hitler attacked and invaded russia. all his usual formalities of perfidy were observed with scrupulous technique. a non-aggression treaty had been solemnly signed and was in force between the two countries. no complaint had been made by germany of its non-fulfillment. under its cloak of false confidence, the german armies drew up in immense strength along a line which stretched from the white sea to the black sea. and their air fleets and armoured divisions, slowly and methodically. took up their stations. then suddenly, without declaration of war, without even an ultimatum, the german bombs rained down from the sky upon the russian cities.
the german troops violated the russian frontiers. and an hour later, the german ambassador, who ’til the night before was lavishing his assurances of friendship-almost of alliance-upon the russians, called upon the russian foreign minister to tell him that a state of war existed between germany and russia.
thus was repeated, on a far larger scale, the same kind of outrage against every form of signed compact and international faith which we had witnessed in norway, in denmark, in holland, in belgium. and which hitler’s accomplice and jackal mussolini, so faithfully imitated in the case of greece. all this was no surprise to me. in fact, i gave clear and precise warnings to stalin of stalin of what was coming. i gave him warnings, as i have given warnings to others before. i can only hope that these warnings did not fall unheeded. all we know at present is that the russian people are defending their native soil, and that their leaders have called upon them to resist to the utmost. ” …………….
the russian danger is therefore our danger and the danger of the united states. just as the cause of any russian fighting for his hearth and home is the cause of free men and free people in every quarter of the globe. let us learn the lessons already taught by such cruel experience. let us re-double our exertion and strike with united strength while life and power remain.”
thank you!
