Mr. Aitken describes his admiration of British resiliency in the face of German bombing.

Transcription

The V1s and V2s were about as hard to take as actual bombs being dropped from manned aircraft. The British people, they were truly magnificent. I can remember going around London after dark and the people had moved their beds into the tube stations and the platforms. They would be crowded in there, but it was a pretty safe place to be. So I guess they were pleased to be there. They had a way of taking things in their stride. I guess you’d call it rolling with the punches.
