@Steffen Zander Listen, I don't care who he was working with. “I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. But perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest. It cannot be in accordance with the interest or the safety of Russia that Germany should plant itself upon the shores of the Black Sea, or that it should overrun the Balkan States and subjugate the Slavonic peoples of South-Eastern Europe. That would be contrary to the historic life-interests of Russia.” - Winston Churchill, Broadcast, London, 1 October 1939

I hope you come over and visit Britain soon. My dream is to go across to visit the United States also. I would love to go for a longer stretch with a friend from Poland to visit a few states rather than a brochure 'package holiday' to experience as much as possible. The United States is approximately 49 times bigger with more than 5 times the population also. There is so much to see so careful planning wouldn't go amiss I guess. You guys have so many famous landmarks pretty much for every state. Southern California, New York, Texas and on and on. If you come to Britain be sure to head north and visit the really picturesque beautiful places. Our summers are hotter these days so the Peak districts, the Dales also Cornwall and the countryside are so much more worthwhile as opposed to focusing on primarily London's famous landmarks. Also Scotland and Wales are underpopulated by contrast which is attractive to me. Too many people head straight for London and completely miss the whole point. If you stay a few weeks you can travel so much of Britain by train and no matter where you go the coast is never really more than a hr away. Transport is usually very good and easy to navigate and plan. A monthly 'AnyBus' ticket is very cheap also.

I will always honor the sacrifices that have been made for this. In deep gratitude.

[@simongleaden2864]

Fine sentiments that are greatly appreciated. I dispute your use of the word "liberated", however, as if the Allies defeated and ejected the Nazi invaders of Germany. Germany was not liberated, it was defeated, conquered, occupied and divided. It was German people who voted for the Nazis in great numbers with the result that Hitler could rise to absolute power. Germany inflicted the Nazi horror upon itself.

[@mfr9838]

@@simongleaden2864 I understand your approach. but he is completely wrong. first of all: when the allies came to germany, they not only occupied the country but liberated hundreds of thousands of people from the concentration camps. including countless Germans. In the areas occupied by the Western Allies, it was not arbitrariness and oppression that took hold, but law and order and the intention to teach the Germans democracy. The fact that one dictatorship was replaced by another in eastern Germany makes the term liberation much more difficult there. In the last free Reichstag elections in November 1932, the majority of the population still voted for democratic parties. Thanks to a right-wing party alliance, Hitler nevertheless became chancellor. and then the nazis began to overturn the constitution and turn germany into a murderous dictatorship. do not get me wrong. at the height of his power, hitler was supported by the majority of the population. but we owe the fact that we germans are not still nazis today to the allied liberation. with the defeat of nazi germany, of course, the country was first defeated, but the population was also freed from a system of oppression. that large parts of the population supported this system is undeniable. And yet Germany is one of the most democratic and liberal countries in the world today. one final question. were the italians (mussolini, fascism) liberated or occupied?

Churchill was the greatest leader of the 20th century bar none. There has never been anyone like him since then. So incredibly confident and self-assured when the world most needed it. He singlehandedly won WW2 in my estimation. Not on the battlefield of course, but psychologically. He was the first one who stood strong in the face of an immensely powerful and evil bully and said 'you will never destroy us'. And he was the only leader Hitler truly feared and knew he could not defeat. After the ass-kicking of the Battle of Britain and Hitler basically just accepting his first defeat, the Nazis lost their aire of invincibility and never again were a serious threat to world domination. Make no mistake, the Battle of Britain was the major turning point of the war in Europe and without the British victory the USA would likely never have engaged in the European theater. The results would have been disastrous if there was no western front and Russia would have eventually been conquered. None of this transpired solely because of Winston's bulldog mentality. God bless you Churchill...you saved Democracy from the bane of evil!

[@lw3646]

Sorry but it was the USSR which did most of the fighting and dying for us in WWII. About 90% of Nazi loses were on the eastern front. It was the Italian invasion of Greece which probably cost Hitler the chance of victory v USSR in 1941. Britain did make a vital contribution to the war by defending the island thus allowing the US a base to operate from but we do need to conceded WWII was won largely by the mass power of the US and Russia. It was WWI where the Brits made the vital contribution to winning in 1918 because the French army was so exhausted and bartered and the US were still green and not present in the same numbers.

@Who said it was me? I was a bit too ambiguous with my sentence. When I wrote "Being an American", I was referring to me. Even though Mr. Churchill had an American mother, he grew up 100% British. Here in the states many of us have English roots, however we considered ourselves to be Americans.

@15:00 -Notice how Churchill sits down the moment he is done talking. In fact, he's reaching for the chair behind him as he is ending the last sentence. Must be a "House of Commons" thing, where you sit down to emphasize the point as those in the chamber rise to give the standing ovation. It's pretty well choreographed and Churchill does it almost instinctively, like he's done it so many times before.

[@stephenhardy312]

[@hewhohasnoidentity4377]

In the House of Commons it is standard to stand and be called upon to speak and sit when done speaking so the Speaker of the House can call on someone to respond. The US adopted the role of the Speaker but the POTUS doesn't sit after a speech, they try to keep the standing ovation last as long as possible.
