An analogy that he would have enjoyed, I'm sorry to say. What's happening to Warsaw is at this point, I think it's fair to say unprecedented in European history. Of course, there have been bombings in Spain, but not of a capital city on a scale like this.

wave after wave of bombers just indiscriminately hitting apartment blocks, schools, hospitals. In the end, there was so much fire, so much smoke that they basically had to call off the attack because they couldn't see what they were doing. There were just clouds and clouds of black smoke.

When you go to the museums in Gdansk and in Warsaw, they've always got this kind of playing. And it's extraordinarily kind of harrowing. I'll just read one eyewitness account to give you a sense of the novelty of it. Because that's the important thing. It's a scene that we're used to now from wartime footage.
