story <strong>of</strong> that struggle cannot be read without admiration for the courage, the perseverance, and the<br />
vital force which enabled him to challenge, defy, conciliate, or overcome, all the authorities or<br />
resistance's which barred his path. He, and the ever increasing legions who worked with him,<br />
certainly showed at this time, in their patriotic ardor and love <strong>of</strong> country, that there was nothing that<br />
they would not dare, no sacrifice <strong>of</strong> life, limb or liberty that they would not make themselves or inflict<br />
upon their opponents." - Winston Churchill. Francis Nielson. 'Makers <strong>of</strong> War' p.101<br />
"<strong>The</strong>re must not be lacking in our leadership something <strong>of</strong> that spirit <strong>of</strong> the Austrian corporal who,<br />
when all had fallen into ruins around him, and when Germany seemed to have fallen into chaos, did<br />
not hesitate to march forth against the vast army <strong>of</strong> victorious nations and has already turned the<br />
tables decisively against them."<br />
"<strong>The</strong> German leader with the highest <strong>of</strong> praise for his accomplishments as no other foreign statesman<br />
ever received from an Englishman." - Winston Churchill, 4th, October, 1938<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> Churchill's statements on Communist Russia coincided with Adolf Hitler's views: "In Russia,<br />
we have a vast, dumb people dwelling under the discipline <strong>of</strong> a conscripted army in war time; a<br />
people suffering in years <strong>of</strong> peace the rigors and privations <strong>of</strong> the worst campaigns; a people ruled by<br />
terror, fanaticism's and the Secret Police. Here we have a state whose subjects are so happy that they<br />
have to be forbidden to quit its bounds under the direst <strong>of</strong> penalties; where diplomatists and agents<br />
sent on foreign missions have <strong>of</strong>ten t leave their wives and children at home as hostages to ensure<br />
their eventual return. Here we have a system whose social achievements crowd 5 or 6 people in a<br />
single room; whose wages hardly compare in purchasing power with the British dole; whose life is<br />
unsafe, where liberty is unknown; where grace and culture are dying, and where armaments and<br />
preparations for war were rife. Here is a land where God is blasphemed, and man, plunged in this<br />
world's misery, is denied the hope <strong>of</strong> money on both sides <strong>of</strong> the grave. Here we have a power<br />
actively and ceaselessly engaged in trying to overturn existing civilizations by stealth and propaganda,<br />
and when it dares, by bloody force.<br />
Here we have a state, three million <strong>of</strong> whose subjects are languishing in foreign exile, whose<br />
intelligentsia have been methodically destroyed; a state nearly half a million <strong>of</strong> whose citizens<br />
reduced in servitude for their political opinions, are rotting and freezing through the Arctic night;<br />
toiling to death in the forests, mines and quarries, many for no more than indulging in that freedom <strong>of</strong><br />
thought which has gradually raised man above the beast. Decent good-hearted British men and<br />
women ought not to be so airily detached from realities that they have no word <strong>of</strong> honest indignation<br />
for such wantonly, callously inflicted pain." - Winston Churchill. Great Contemporaries<br />
"<strong>The</strong> Soviet system is barbarism worse than the Stone Age." - Winston Churchill<br />
"No faith need be, indeed may be, kept with non-communists. Every act <strong>of</strong> goodwill, <strong>of</strong> tolerance, <strong>of</strong><br />
conciliation, <strong>of</strong> mercy, <strong>of</strong> magnanimity on the part <strong>of</strong> governments or statesmen is to be utilised for<br />
their ruin. <strong>The</strong>n, when the time is ripe and the moment opportune, every form <strong>of</strong> lethal violence, from<br />
revolution to private assassination, must be used without stint or compunction. <strong>The</strong> citadel will be<br />
stormed under the banners <strong>of</strong> Liberty and Democracy; and once the apparatus <strong>of</strong> power is in the hands<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Brotherhood all opposition, all contrary opinion, must be extinguished by death. Democracy is<br />
