Description
Mr. Baggs is asked if all the sacrifice and hardship that they went through was worth it.
Transcription
That's rather difficult to say because who knows if Germany had beaten England, that doesn't mean that they would have beaten Canada and the United States or Australia. So it was a matter of King George refused to, he was supposed to come to Canada right after Dunkirk but he and Queen Elizabeth refused to, the Queen Mother that just recently died, they were supposed to be evacuated to Quebec. Same as the queen from the Netherlands was but he refused to come out. And Churchill of course, "We'd fight him of the rooftops, fight him on the beaches, and whatever, we will never surrender", and the British people really felt that way. We wouldn't surrender, or they wouldn't surrender, well we were part of them, anyway. I don't think we ever thought in terms of anything like that.
