I wonder sometimes how WWII would have been broadcast if Social Media outlets like Facebook and Twitter would have been around then.
Below are quotes from WWII which easily could have been Tweets or Facebook posts.
We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
Winston Churchill
“Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well-trained, well-equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely”
Dwight Eisenhower
“Maybe there are 5,000, maybe 10,000 Nazi bastards in their concrete foxholes before the Third Army. Now if Ike stops holding Monty’s hand and gives me some supplies, I’ll go through the Siegfried Line like shit through a goose.”
George Patton
“The Limeys want us in even with our hastily made plans and our half-trained and half-equipped troops. I claim we got a hell of a beating. We got run out of Burma and it is as humiliating as hell. I think we ought to find out what caused it, go back and retake it.”
American General Joseph Stilwell
“The Germans should have thought of some of these things before they began the war, particularly before attacking the Russians.”
General Bernard Law Montgomery
