“We in Britain knew then what it was to wait for the explosion In August it w’as the south coast that knew it; soon it was to be London and the great cities and little villages in every part of the country. We knew what waiting meant then. Today our enemies are learning, and their own propaganda chief has told them to look to our example. The Germans coined for us a new word in the English language —to Coventrate. The experience at Hamburg has already removed that word from our vocabulary.”—From a 8.8. C. Radio News Reel.
