Winston Churchill (Kyle Sjoberg)

I should have expected for hitler to invade Poland. He wants to take over everyone so England and France needs to stop him. America is getting a lot stronger and we could really use them. My reaction wasn't to great. I think everyone expected it. All it was, was a waiting game. We now need to step in a shut down Germany. We can't let them kill everyone in their way. So we need to make a stand. Germany's army is so great that it will take multiple armies to stop them. It didn't take them that much time to take over Poland so we didn't have much time to react. Sadly they lost, but the allies will fight back and Hitler will go back to his awful country. He can't boss everyone around so we have to show him up. They will regret they took Poland.

Charles de Gaulle (Meran Topalian)

Why am I not surprised that Germany has invaded Poland. Hitler and Stalin are just very greedy individuals and no one should be surprised this invasion has happened. All they want is all of Europe. They will take nothing less and this was as expected. They couldn't even deal with the fact that Czechoslovakia was there for grabs and just had to go for it. Why? For one reason, they are a bunch of greedy snobs and secondly they are trying to prove their superiority of a nation to all of the world. Germans invade and Stalin helps. Hitler and Stalin are a dynamic duo when it comes to conquering land and almost nothing will stop them. France as a whole must be ready to defeat Germany and Hitler must be able to accept to the fact that he will lose this fight. France is strong! France shall rise above Germany and be at the top.

Neville Chamberlain (Julian Wu)

Poland. I cannot believe what I am hearing. Germany has risen to a form of terror so uncontrollable that I MUST take action and do what's right for my country. Hitler has gone out of control. I have tried peaceful negotiations. I have tried to give him what he wanted. And what was the result? More greed, more pain, more death.I must unite with France to take down this growing abomination. Poland, our ally, must be protected. After seeing World War I and its results, how could anyone want to even think about warfare? And here you are, Germany... tearing down buildings, massacring people, and destroying land. There has been far too many times where I allowed Hitler to take over foreign land to promote and ensure peace. However, this is clearly not working. I'm not blind. I realize that the moment of peace I have yearned for in my heart is ultimately gone. Wars and battles  are unavoidable. Prepare for war, my fellow comrades and soldiers. Prepare for war.

Stalin- Elise Warren

It's bitter sweet for me, really. Sweet because I should have nothing to worry about from the Non-Aggression Act. Bitter because of the threat it has sent to me, Russia, and our "little brothers." Although we have signed a treaty to not fight with Germany, we all know we are just stalling war. Germany is gaining more and more power and building their massive empire in close proximity to The Soviet Union. Although we may agree in terms of the way in which we rule, this is a precarious situation. The Soviet Union must proceed cautiously in our next steps as war rapidly approaches. The invasion of Poland has increased the severity of our situation, as well as the rest of Europe, and therefore increasing the tension in our relationship.

Jewish Refugee (Michael Kowalski)

It frightens me to witness what God is willing to permit. He has abandoned us and worsened the conditions of those who still remain in the death camps. Adding the thousands of poles to each concentration camp only lowers the food supply, forcing the SS to even further starve my people. My only explaniation is that God is giving us a test, a test in our stock in him. We must affirm to no kill in retaliation, we must obey the commandments and follow his will even in the worst of times. By this God will surely be pleased and show mercy, smithing Hitler and abolishing his Nazi party from heaven. They must be banished to the deepest depths of hell, but that is where some of my comrades still "live"...

Winston Churchill (Yash Gokhale)

Is it truly a surprise that the Nazis have invaded Poland? The beast has been allowed to grow into something quite hideous, and now it has spread itself over four lands and has not met any resistance. Germany has become a spoiled child and thinks that it can take any country it wants. Appeasement has allowed for this to happen. Now it is time to stand up and stop this madness. We can no longer sit around twiddling our thumbs as we watch the world burned down by Hitler. We NEED to go to war. There is no other way: no compromise, and no appeasement. Only a sturdy backbone and a large stick will whip Germany into shape. If we do not fight for our nation today, there may be no nation to fight for tomorrow.

Dwight Eisenhower (Max Moss)

I cannot believe we are letting Hitler have free rule over Europe! This is simply outrageous, we cannot just sit here and watch Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich enslave Europe. This guy is clearly a nutcase. He just storms into all of these countries and takes them over by force. It is a good thing that people are finally starting to realize that Hitler isn't some nonviolent pacifist. We have to come to our senses and recognize that the continuous compromises must stop. Surely Poland is the final straw Americans! Although Germany may have a strong leadership and army, we must come together and rise above his evil. Although Poland has fallen, we can assure that Europe will not if we take action sooner rather than later. The tragedy in Poland is over and we must think ahead for the greater good of the world.
