Adolf Hitler

The 1946 Churchill-Stalin exchange was remarkably similar to Churchill’s with Hitler eight years earlier: “I am surprised that the head of a great State should set himself to attack British members of Parliament who hold no official position and who are not even the leaders of parties.” Martin Gilbert’s official biography informs our knowledge Churchill’s consistency.

Jeremy Irons is a convincing Chamberlain, but it would have been better to avoid proclaiming that he was right about Munich.

Breathless media admiration of Hitler’s Anschluss obscured German military deficiencies that might have mattered if the democracies had stood firm.

Churchill never said this: he was far too fastidious to apply such a term generically. He knew his fascists, and identified them more specifically.

“Only Churchill carries that absolutely required criterion: indispensability,” wrote Dr. Krauthammer. “Without Churchill the world today would be unrecognizable.”

So deeply implanted is the belief that Churchill was a white supremacist that certain students and faculties accept it without demur.
