Civilians suffer the most

I don’t think we really did hate them too much, because we realized that they were only obeying the orders of their leaders. And if they’d had their way they might not have been there, same as we wouldn’t have been. But we certainly have no respect or anything for leaders when they caused this. I think one of the worst things about war is for the people of the country that live there, the civilians. I think that North America has always been so fortunate to have never had that and the people in this country have no idea. Nobody has any idea of war. We used to, these people would be trudging along the road, just trudging along the road, carrying a bundle, maybe pushing a wheelbarrow, maybe having a donkey cart, just got nowhere to go. But surely to goodness, people won’t go to war again. When you think of, oh, the slaughter. It, it’s just horrible, and I hope North America will always escape. But it, and I often think a man that starts a war is the lowest down human being that there can be. Look at the millions of people you see that Hitler caused to be dead. What bothers me is the British government, at that time. Churchill did his best to warn them. You remember Chamberlain going over and just because Hitler signed a piece of paper he’d come back and “Peace in our time,” and in three months there was a war. And I heard a lecture at the community centre last year and he says, “Never, never, never believe a dictator.” And that’s the danger today, isn’t it?
