70 years doesn't sound like a long time does it, yet when you think of all the advancements made in technology etc, it makes you realise how much things have changed in that time. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8235320.stm Title: Re: 70 years ago today ! Post by: Colchester Kev on September 03, 2009, 08:24:07 PM The announcement by Neville Chamberlain
"This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German government a final note stating that, unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, a state of war would exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany. You can imagine what a bitter blow it is to me that all my long struggle to win peace has failed. Yet I cannot believe that there is anything more or anything different that I could have done, and that would have been more successful." Title: Re: 70 years ago today !
