Anonymous Coward User ID: 3908 United States 09/19/2005 06:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Churchill, war monger. Sir Winston Churchill described his role leading Britain through World War Two as his ´walk with destiny´ - a destiny for which he believed he had spent his life in preparation. From as early as 1936 he was making noises in Parliament about the overwhelming rate of German rearmament. His campaign made him unpopular with an administration which favoured appeasement and feared hostilities before UK rearmament could be completed. It wasn´t until his appointment as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1939 that Parliament was reminded of Churchill´s skills as a leader and his capacity for brilliant strategising. A signal went round the British fleet announcing ´Winston is back!´ Churchill´s predecessor, Neville Chamberlain, had failed to fully estimate the intentions of the Nazi regime and following a series of events which led to the crisis in Norway in April 1940, he faced heavy criticism in Parliament. On 9 May 1940 he made the decision to resign and requested a meeting with Conservative MP Lord Halifax and with Churchill, certain that one or the other was his successor. When Halifax refused, Churchill leapt at the offer. With Chamberlain out of the picture, Churchill reformed government, creating a coalition in the face of national crisis. He himself became minister for defence at the head of a Defence Committee. He surrounded himself by complimentary military staff, among them Marshal Hugh Dowding, General Hastings Ismay, Admiral Dudley Pound and Field Marshal John Dill. Later service heads included Field Marshal Alan Brooke and Sir Charles Portal. These men were essential to his vision of a war machine, unflinching in its belief in ultimate victory over barbarism. Churchill was experienced in warfare, from both the civilian´s and soldier´s point of view. He had seen active service in Cuba and India - famously engaging there in hand-to-hand combat - and he used his position as a journalist to fight for peace in the Boer War. |

Quark User ID: 41633 Germany 11/14/2005 08:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hitler got about 35% at the last FREE elections in the autumn of 1932, afai remember. He was apppointed "German Kanzler" in 30.1.1933 by some dubious arrangements of the leaders of conservative parties, who thought to "control" Hitler and his Nazi-movement this way and (mis)use his aggressive style towards the other european powers for their benefits (Germany still was under sanctions, paying reparation for lost WWI, Ruhrgebiet and Saarland was still occupied and such ...). Well, we all know the results. But Hitler was never voted by the German people in a free election. It´s true that in later elections during his terror-regime, he got almost 100% of the votes, but these elections were everything but free - a farce. For deep scientifical analysis of Hitlers life and all the details how it was possible that he came to power, I suggest to read the excellent but very "fat" book of Ian Kershaw - Hitler. |
