Churchill Forecast Blitzkrieg 3 years before it happened

Why Hitler is

By THE EDITOR

of the "Sunday Chronicle"

THE ROAR OF A PASSING AEROPLANE REACHED OUR EARS IN THE DINING ROOM OF MR. WINston Churchill's HOUSE AT WESTERHAM, KENT. .

Across his lunch table, Mr. Churchill said to me: "Every time I hear that, it is like a warning. I wish it had the same effect on everybody in this country."
