>With the cross-Channel invasion [**of Normandy**] now planned for June, he [**FDR**] asked [Churchill](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Sir_Winston_Churchill_-_19086236948.jpg), “What would you think of a statement by me alone along these lines, to be issued after D-Day?” He could declare that the Anglo-Americans sought the “total destruction” not of the German people but of “the philosophy of those Germans who have announced that they could subjugate the world.” >Churchill replied, “If there were nothing between us except that the Germans have an evil philosophy, there would be little ground for the war going on.” __________________________ **Source:** Beschloss, Michael R. “On the Back of an Envelope.” *The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman, and the Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1941-1945*.
