They will fight under American officers, under American flags. And the same is true throughout history. But what happens here? You say you're going to send a supreme allied commander for Europe. He's going to be an American and British generals and officers will serve under him. So you're right. You're right to focus on that. It's a hugely important thing. But my goodness, how powerful.

Wild. In person. You know, Churchill... Wenn man sich Churchills Reise allein in World War II anschaut, ist es überraschend. Er fliegt rickety alte Flugzeuge über, wenn nicht gegenwärtige Lande, sicherlich Luftraum, das getestet wurde. Er geht in Schiffen überall.
