“You know I didn’t do that for months. I didn’t drop a bomb on Paris. I asked for surrender 5 times before we attacked Warsaw, everything was refused. I asked that the women and children be sent out of the area. Not even the parliamentarian was received, everything was rejected. And only then did I decide to do what is permitted under any martial law.

When the English started dropping bombs, I waited a month or two and did nothing. We–we were already strong enough to do it. I waited. I thought maybe reason would return after all. It was different. You think it’s not different today?”
