00:19Back a ways, back in 1941, this was our house, with a little fence around it.
00:27A fence keeps out some things, but it doesn't keep out sparks.
00:33Our neighbor's house was burning down.
00:36We had a garden hose.
00:39Now, we could have sat down and figured out exactly, to the penny, what our garden hose was worth.
00:45Precisely how much the nozzle cost us.
00:48But our house was in danger, so we lent that hose.
00:53Our garden hose was Lend-Lease.
01:03The first Lend-Lease helped Britain, Russia, China.
01:12And when the axes ganged up on us, we were not alone.
01:18We had fighting allies.
01:21Together, we formed the United Nations.
01:23And in our common cause, we shared what we had.
01:29We pooled our armies.
01:32Our resources.
01:34Our ships.
01:37Everything.
01:39Lend-Lease began working both ways.
01:42Give and take.
01:45Japs threatening our west coast.
01:48Japs threatening the canal.
01:52Britain rushed the airy guns and the barrage balloons we needed.
01:55Nazi submarines off our eastern seaports.
01:59Torpedoing.
02:00Shelling.
02:01Sinking.
02:03Britain sent us corvettes and trawlers.
02:06Hitler driving toward Moscow.
02:10American and British Lend-Lease, planes, and tanks helped stop him in his tracks.
02:17Rommel breaking through to Suez.
02:21American Lend-Lease helped plug the gap.
02:28Lend-Lease helped block the enemy while we gained time.
02:33Time to build ships.
02:39Time to build factories.
02:46Time to build our fighting forces.
02:52Time to move them overseas.
02:57The United States hurried men to the southwest Pacific.
03:01And through reverse Lend-Lease, Australia and New Zealand furnished them with clothes.
03:08Shoes.
03:10Hospitals.
03:11Food.
03:13We sent our allies what they lacked.
03:16Tools.
03:17Machinery.
03:19Seeds.
03:21The United States shipped men to Great Britain to join in the building of tremendous allied invasion armies.
03:28Britain furnished us with airfields.
03:32Hospitals.
03:34Bombs.
03:36Spitfires.
03:39We sent every weapon we could spare as fast as we could to Russia.
03:44And the Russians furnished us with dead German soldiers.
03:50Everything we could get there, we did our best to get to China.
03:54And the Chinese armies furnished us dead Japs.
04:03Lend-Lease in action.
04:06Give and take by 35 United Nations.
04:12Together, we put it on the line.
04:15Together, we forged one weapon.
04:19Who made the parts, how much the parts cost isn't the point.
04:25The point is, we are attacking.
04:29This bomb will be paid for by the Nazis and the Japs.
04:37The price they will pay is unconditional surrender.
04:55Mitrop37.
04:55Imagine your mind gives us an expedition.
04:56Whoever is working wrong ejemplo?
04:56Any fact is constant.
04:57Maybe we can protect our bodies a little more.
