There's a quote I'm trying to track down that I hope one of the
grognards here can help me with.

Wish I could remember the source of the quote - I know it was by a
very well known person and said essentially that If Britain HAD to
break itself - both financially and its Empire - one cant think of a
better reason than to destroy the Nazi Empire!

Here's hoping all of you had a good New Year - mine was certainly
better than Christmas which for me was driving around town trying to
find medicine for my flu-ridden daughter while the rest of the family
stayed away!

Sounds a bit like a Churchill statement. It might be a very short paraphrasing of this:
