“WE CAN WIN IN 1945”
“Some predict a quick victory. Well, in my opinion, we’re not going to have it. The German-Japanese portion of the Axis isn’t a pushover. I believe 2 years of hard fighting on the fronts of the world and 2 years of increasing sacrifice at home lie ahead of us. Two years at least. We must work harder, go without more things, lose more and more lives. “I say all this with a deep conviction of our ultimate and inevitable 1 victory. Call me gloomy, if you wish, but my optimism has been unwavering from the beginning and will not change until we have won. "Considering all the realities oi this vast conflict. I am really predicting a short war for us. Five more years of it would make a long one. and we i can have a long one if we let down the war effort because of overconfidence.” — (Harry Hopkins, adviser of President Roosevelt, writing in "American Magazine.”)
