Today on The Twentieth Century we examine how the Russian dictator and the German dictator responded to reports of invasion. In August 1941, the Russian dictator addressed his people for the first time as Chairman of the Defense Committee following a massive invasion by German troops and tanks: Russian Dictator: Now I know you've been hearing a lot about Minsk. Don't worry about Minsk. Minsk can handle it. In fact, the Germans lost ninety percent of their dive-bombers and forty-three percent of their ground troops taking Minsk alone. And now it is time for a glorious strike. I believe in you good people and I know that we will win this war because in your hearts you would rather be killed by a Russian than by a German. Then in April 1945, the German dictator broadcast a message on the radio. German Dictator: I would like to commend the Fourth Army for their very convincing exercises to prepare for raids against German towns. Never mind all the enemy gunfire, we will prevail. I am going to inject some drugs now from Doctor Morell and listen to Wagner's Flight of the Valkeries when I'm stoned. This will conjure up the most powerful poltergeists since Pandora opened her box and unleash it upon our foes. They won't know what hit them! |
