Allies Quote by Adolf Hitler

“England, unlike in 1914, will not allow herself to blunder into a war lasting for years… Such is the fate of rich countries.. .Not even England has the money nowadays to fight a world war. What should England fight for? You don't get yourself killed over an ally.” quote by Adolf Hitler
