OUR STRATEGY
MUST NOT BE DEFLECTED. “Neither Air nor Army can pull their, full weight unless there is a
clear and consistent national policy for them to work on. In these days the machinery of war is too vast and complicated to produce results if our strategy is to be deflected and deviated by every passing wind and circumstance and every move of the enemy. We must have a firm strategic policy as to how we are to win this war, and we must stick to it through thick and thin, regardless of temporary set-backs. We must remember that our resources, vast as they are, are not unlimited. If we try to be strong everywhere, we shall be strong nowhere. Till we can answer the question of the great French general, ‘What is the object?’ we cannot hope to defeat an enemy with the ruthless single-mindedness of Hitler.”—Lord Trenchard, speaking in the House of Lords on the lessons of Greece and Crete.
