Bombs and Character (1944)

From the May 1944 issue of the Socialist Standard
New York, Thursday.—Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, who became High Commissioner in Canada in April, 1941, said to-day: “The British are a much better people than they were in 1939 because they have undergone a peaceful social revolution.
"We had the inestimable blessing of being bombed. This enriched British character and blasted to bits some of the worst social faults.:—(Daily Express, February 25, 1944.) 
  "Even if our generation did no more in this war than endure bombs, that would be enough to make it immortal." —(Goebbels to the Germans, News-Chronicle, April 14, 1944.)
