Henning Wehn:
If you're in your seventies now, how old were you in the end of World War II? Maybe ten years old? How did you help win the war? When you were just ten years old, you did not help win the war.

Stephen Fry:
By not eating bananas.

Henning Wehn:
Yeah. You were nothing but a drain on British resources!

Stephen Fry:
[to the laughing panelists] You've gotta admire his guts, haven't you?

Henning Wehn:
Effectively every 70-year-old Brit, effectively fought on the side of Nazi Germany! And lost the war every little bit as much as we did!
