I’m afraid it’s a disunited ‘kingdom’ now. All this rhetoric of the British government’, the ‘government of the United Kingdom’ is just an invented entity which actually divides us and, should there ever be a TRUE ENGLISH Parliament, they would be bound by the Magna Carta which, I trust hasn’t escaped your attention; they can skirt around with their invented names.

While the country was on strict rationing, he got even fatter. He also really, really screwed up Asia so Britain could maintain empire and invented the country of Israel screwing up the relationship between the Jews and Muslims. Oh and he really hated Indians. Other than that you know, and getting men killed in his failed campaigns during both The Great War and The War because of his incompetence and using military troops to violently end protests in Britain, sure if those things wouldn't disqualify you from being an icon. Sure he had good "fireside chats" to motivate the citizenry and used other media to his advantage. His mother was gorgeous though, then again she was a Yank.

[@DingleDangle66]

@@minirock000 He didn’t get fatter, he was completely the same. The Japanese ruined most of Asia due to their blockade of trade lines. He saw Indians as lower class citizens and wanted nothing to do with them, he didn’t hate them. He created Israel as a place of refuge for Jews, also Jews were there 1946 years before it returned to the city. His strategy may of failed during the Great War, but then the Ottomans lost anyway. D-Day is something he planned with Roosevelt and Stalin and it worked. He didn’t even protests with the army.

This is a documentary of the highest quality. A big shout out to Lee Holdridge for his beautiful music- and to the mixer who had the good taste to make sure that it never overpowered the narration. As someone whose parents were involved in the war, my Dad was a Lancaster bomber pilot and my Mom was in the women's auxiliary air force, this doccie was fascinating. Churchill was a hero- certainly a flawed hero, as all heroes, being human are. To those ungrateful miscreants who, because Churchill failed to reach their standard of perfection, want to deface and pull down his statue, just consider that without Churchill the statues would be of Hitler. If you tried to deface those, the Gestapo would machine gun you, and those that survived would be tortured and then either hanged on meat hooks or guillotined.

[@marlareeves417]

[@minirock000]

To say if not because of him there would be statues of Hitler is just a bit hyperbolic, yes. Thanks for admitting he was flawed, a lot of people in the comments seem to forget the pain he has caused the world since The War. He also gleefully used the military to stop protests in his own country. Then again, protests aren't protected speech there. Saying all heroes are flawed is a very comic book view of the world. I imagine David Attenborough would be hard to find any little dirt on plus it is obvious he doesn't have a racist bone in his body, unlike Churchill. Is Churchill completely unredeemable with his flaws though, that is the question. I would imagine if you were Indian after The War I would imagine he isn't thought of as highly. He also didn't want Britain to have to social welfare programmes they instituted after The War and still enjoy to this day! Which I must say was a heroic thing to do. While Britain was battered and broke from spending their wealth on war and while still rationing basic food and supplies they accomplished such a difficult task. In complete contrast to America, the country that had more food, more money and was not even really damaged had no desire to aid its populace and actually implemented laws to keep selected groups from accessing the benefits of the new culture and returned the oppressed peoples that served back to their oppressed state. Then again, to call people you simply don't agree with "ungrateful miscreants" (probably want to use more undesirable terms) shows that you do not even wish to understand and place a thing over actual people. Statues are inanimate objects but when people worship a statue so much they hate the people that don't worship the lump of metal are worse than the miscreants they hate. It also doesn't matter one iota what your parents did, it isn't you. Seems like they were good people, would they like it that you hate people because they don't like the lump of metal you worship? I also know what your generation was like when people started coming in from the colonies, they weren't welcomed as they thought they might, going to the centre of their Empire. One last thing, were the Nazis known for using the guillotine? I never heard that. It would be quicker than being strung up until you suffocated or choking for several minutes on cyanide gas.

George VI was plenty bright and an extraordinary man of great courage. Just because he didn't care for Churchill at first (with good reason -- Churchill had sided with his wayward brother, the Duke of Windsor), he came to change his mind. Haven't you even seen "The King's Speech"?

[@johnfernleigh1352]

George VI has claim to be one of this country's greatest kings. A very brave and dutiful man. As exaudi33 says, the fact he was initially cautious of Churchill meant he shared the view of most of the country. Churchill had been wrong so many times in the 20s and 30s and had changed parties twice. But over the disgusting Nazis Churchill was right and his leadership saved the world.

As far as I am concerned, Winston Spencer Churchill was one of the greatest leaders this Planet has ever had, throughout history, perhaps even The Greatest. I was extremely fortunate to visit not only Blenheim Palace, but also Chartwell, and above all, the final resting place of The Last Lion and his dear wife, Bladon. I was in awe of this man to whom I owed my freedom; I knelt beside their grave and thanked him. I then walked away backwards, facing their resting place. I was about to leave, but on an impulse walked back to the site, knelt down and kissed the grave with reverence. I shall always remember my October 2019 visit, to the U.K. Roland Singh, Canada 🇨🇦

Now, I cannot get enough of his courageous and profound speeches and quotes.

Churchill rallied the British people to fight rather than surrender. And so they did. A great leader. He was an Empire man. FDR reminded Churchill we were not fighting to preserve the Empire.

Our country is now more than ever in need of a leader of the moral fibre,courage and patriotism of W.S.Churchill, yet we all know there will never ever be another Winston Churchill, but perhaps some politician will take a leaf out of Mr Churchill’s book and go some way in bringing Britain back from the abyss that’s its ethnic people are sliding into before its to late 🇬🇧

On the opening day of the battle of Britain, the Italian air force, in accord with its axis allies, seeking to bomb the southeastern most island base of English defenses, got lost in the fog and instead bombed a French island captured by the Germans and turned into a military stronghold. On hearing this, Churchill replied, "Thank God for the Italians!"

Wonderful Documentary. I've seen just about every film on the Second World War and specifically on the British experience in the spring and summer of 1940 and this ranks as the best. It tells a great story of how Churchill influenced events during a dark time for his Country and the free world as a whole.

[@lynnettespolitics9656]

I agree! It's so concise, but I feel really gives such a complete picture. The powers of darkness are upon us now, but they're clothed in the suits of the WEF. How strange that Klaus Schwab is the leader of this army. I'm a quarter German too!

This is very good. I’ve seen other documentaries that were more focused strictly on Churchill that were equally good. This one is broader in scope and really shows much more about the people & events.

[@johntechwriter]

Which documentary were YOU watching? Have KZbin fans no critical faculty left that enables them to distinguish hack jobs like this from genuine historical productions? The inability to tell the difference between the works of honorable professionals and those created by cynical opportunists, created at next to no cost and containing nothing we haven't seen before, to me illustrates what is behind our political crisis. People seem unable to distinguish between honorable reporting and hack jobs by opportunists whose sole motivation is advertising revenue.

What a timely video to put up here. A man for the moment was Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill. A man who honoured his calling, education and privilege with selfless service, sacrifice and the bearing of great burdens. Is it too much to think of him as ordained by God for this service? The Ukraine too faces similar or worse ravages than did Britain in WW2. God save us from another world war.

Think about the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, all of Europe, India and more. This man, Sir Winston, wasn’t just a giant among men he was the biggest giant among other giants.

Does it seem strange to anyone else how at one point in time there were probably the greatest two leaders of any two Nations. And they both were on the same path and that path led to greatness.

An absolutely superb video. As an Englishman (60 years old), I have to firstly say thank you to the USA and to the great man that FDR was, to those brave US Marines but also to the blue-collar workers that built those ships, planes, tanks, munitions, and everything the lend/lease deal supplied. My mother and father who were teenagers during the war always had the greatest respect for the US and of course, Sir Winston Churchill whom my mother always referred to as Mr. Churchill. Without the help of the USA in those early years, I probably would not be here today.
