“Now at this very moment I knew that the United States was in the war, up to the neck and in to the death. So we had won after all! ...

Hitler's fate was sealed. Mussolini's fate was sealed. As for the Japanese, they would be ground to a powder. All the rest was merely the proper application of overwhelming force.”
― Winston S. Churchill
