Churchill was full of bombast and bull shit not only that he was the only one that wanted the job the majority of the eligible wanted Lord Halifax to take the job but he wouldn't have on a plate half of Churchill's cabinet wanted to make a peaceful treaty with Germany and Germany was willing Churchill wanted to fight them in the loo's the sewers the gutters and anywhere else he could make a stand .. the German's thought he was crazy ..

"Churchill was full of bombast and bull shit"
Being half American probably explains that! And a 100% American, like HRH Sir Douglas MacArthur (VC and 3 Bars) would be even more so!

the British were going to fight the Germans over the glens and bogs with what ? but Winston like FDR who by the way was an Anglophil these two could appeal to the rabble but then again so could Hitler in any case these rabble rousers could raise the rabble to feel they were important and necessary then have the rabble march off to oblivion as cannon fodder ..

The poms fought alone for near 4 years before the home help arrived to show us all how to do it!
By the time the 7.5 Air Force finally got a few planes in the air in May 1943, Bomber Harris was sending 1000 planes to Germany all at once, and breaching German dams and making a hell of a mess of the Ruhr. While the 'Memphis Belle' was doing milk runs to France.
Seems to take about 3+ years to get the gloves on and stop waving to the crowd!
ONYA WINNIE!

So would you rather have Prime Minister Halifax surrender to the Nazis?
