Read by chance,
as I am sorting papers out
for action next week .......

Hitler adamantly refused to go and see the bombed streets of Berlin,
despite Goebbels pleading with him
to do so for propaganda reasons.


By contrast Churchill insisted
on visiting the bombed areas of east London in 1940

and stood in the ruins of humble houses
with tears streaming down his face.


Lord Ismay, who was with him,
tells how a woman in the crowd said
"Look, he is crying.
He really cares!"

Now that gets to me.
Triggers tears in me!
I weep now.

Then I think why?
Not got the answer yet.
