FROM THE ARCHIVES: from the November 17,1944 meeting. "I was there - Bruce Thomas vividly portrayed the horrors of both the current war from Dunkerque to the invasion of Normandy, as well as the robot bombing of England. The latter did tremendous damage to homes of the natives. Robots, notwithstanding, the concensus, admirable enough, was that Germany will not win the war."
