History repeating itself again...

I'm reading The Few by Alex Kershaw. Here's a quote:

"I didn't get to go to Mass," recalled Donahue. "There were some other blood sacrifices being made to the ambitions of a hate-crazed power-maddened little man who wanted to take the place of God."

Sounds like it could have been written yesterday, huh? It's a recollection by Art Donahue, an American Spitfire pilot in RAF 64 Squadron about August 10, 1940, the date of Hitler and Göring's escalation into Phase Two of the Battle of Britain.

I think that Godwin guy's onto something.
