Think you'll find Churchill won us the war! ;-)
I think you'll find it was the footsoldiers of the Allies, including ANZACS , darfetd commonwealth soldiers, our European allies (including the French, Dutch and belgian Resistances) , the USA etc etc
Churchill was a grumpy bugger from privileged Oxfordshire -based, high aristocracy. I can't speak for the rest of the country in the early 20th century but my family tell me that he was hated in Wales (strike breaking by ordering in the cavalry and infantry with fixed bayonets to attack strikers , which they di , with ammo , not just bayonets).. he hadn't seen 'military' action himself since a rather brief stint in the Boer War (50 years previously) as a war correspondent (= journalist)
Like most top military dogs in the modern era it was .. "Go and thump him .. I'll hold your coat"
Please...
Let's keep this o topic
Earth shettering as it may sound.. Churchill was not universally loved
Now can we get back Pellers , please
