Winston S. Churchill Quotes
One Incident Preserved By General Ismay In An Apocryphal And Somewhat Lively Form May Be Allowed To Lighten The Narrative. His Orderly, A Royal Marine, Was Shown The Sights Of Moscow By One Of The Intourist Guides. "This," Said The Russian, "is The Eden Hotel, Formerly Ribbentrop Hotel. Here Is Churchill Street, Formerly Hitler Street. Here Is The Beaverbrook Railway Station, Formerly Goering Railway Station. Will You Have A Cigarette, Comrade?" The Marine Replied, "Thank You, Comrade, Formerly Bastard!" This Tale, Though Jocular, Illustrates None The Less The Strange Atmosphere Of These Meetings.
