ChurchiII's Memoirs
Reveal His Slogan and
Plan 10 Meet Invasion
by the Associated Press

Ry the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-WinSton
Churchill reveals in his war men,
oirs he planned to use the slogan,
You can always take one with
YOU" If German soldiers hac
landed on English soil.
Most of the third installmen;
OF the second volume of his MEM
oirs in Life Magazine is devoted
to the British and German prep
arations for the invasion of Eng
land which the Nazis planned for
September, 1910.
The volume also is being serial
lied by the New York Times.
Il have often wondered what
would have happened if 100000
German storm troops had actually
established themselves ashore"
the war; time Prime Minister
writes.
The massacre would have been
on both sides grim and great.
There would have been neither
mercy nor quarter. They would
have used terror and we were pre-
pared to go all lengths.
Calculated on Horrors.
IT intended to use the slogan.
You can always take one with
you I even calculated that the
horrors of such a scene would in
the last resort turn the scale In
the United States
But, he adds. Britons main
tanned their "buoyant and imper-
turbable temper" and were not
even dismayed."
''They defied the conouerors of
Europe. This was q time
when 1t was equally good to live
or die"
Hitler's admirals and generals
drew up detailed plans to land 13
divisions on the southeast coast
Of England in Operation Sea
Lion" the cross Channel invasion,
Mr.. Churchill writes.
But he emphasizes the differ
ences between all the Na5i mill
tary services as to the size and
scope Of the invasion.
ct is impossible to resist the
conclusion" Mr.. Churchill says.
that the German Army did not
want to entrust its men to the
German Navy for the 22-mile
Channel crossing"
Nazi Plans Outlined.
The former Prime Minister con-
tinues with this account:
The Nazi Navy proposed to
make a narrow corridor across
the Channel, protect it with long
range guns firing from France.
wall it off with mines. and defend
it with hordes of submarines.
But the army demanded that
more men and equipment be put
ashore at once than could be
transported through such q corri-
dor.
Hitler himself umpired the dis
pute between his military leaders.
finally ordering a compromise
plan. But in the crucial days OF
early September, with the two
weeks of the best invasion weather
at hand. the Fuehrer himself kept
postponing the D-date until
Operation Sea Lion" was aban-
doned.
Recalls Greatest Fear.
Mr.. Churchill says his greatest
fear in preparing invasion de-
fenses was that the Germans
would get tanks ashore which
could not be stopped by the
poorly armed home guards who
would be the only forces avail
able at many points.
To meet this situation. he
pressed theoretically for develop
ment Of a sticky bomb" which
would stick fast to tank when
dropped on it or placed against
1t.
I'VE had the picture in mind
that devoted soldiers or civilians
would run close I'D to the tank
and even thrust the bomb upon
it. though it's explosion cost them
their lives. There were undoubt-
edly many who would have done
