Quote of the Week, August 5-11


"If Hitler invaded hell, I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."

- Sir Winston Churchill after signing an unpopular pact with Joseph Stalin in 1941.

The staunchly anti-communist British Prime Minister signed this pact before the US joined the Allies after Pearl Harbor.

Mr. Churchill understood the UK wouldn't beat the Nazis without the help of the Soviets - who were fighting their own war against the Germans.

The pact was incredibly unpopular among the Brits, who saw Stalin as akin to Satan. Hence the quote.
