He hopes God will forgive him, and finds little comfort in legalism that Hitler declared war first, when he knows damn well the President elect, the fascist anglophile FDR, was itiching for a grandiose war.

Gratis history/vocabulary lesson: "president elect" refers to a candidate who is elected but not yet inaugurated. In 1941 FDR was serving his third term as president.

Apologies, it was a rhetorical flourish that sounded nice, but thanks for the correction.
