Flowers From Berlin

We know of new methods of attack; the Trojan Horse, the Fifth. Column that betrays a nation unprepared for treachery. Spies, saboteurs and traitors are the actors in this new tragedy.

Franklin D. Roosevelt during fireside chat to the American people, May 26, 1940

What if there had been no Roosevelt?
