The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men.

I have always believed and I still believe that it is the Red Army that has torn the guts out of the filthy Nazis.

Be it the First World War or the Second World War, India never attacked other countries. We never attacked any country for conquering their territory. But our brave soldiers fought for others and sacrificed their lives in both the Wars. And, the world must recognise this.

Sometimes, I feel like one who is on the sidelines, who has missed life itself.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

Victory was to be bought so dear as to be almost indistinguishable from defeat.
