Churchill had a lot of honorary ranks in the british military and beyond, including Pilot Wings in the USAAF. I suppose that's why he's wearing an officer's style cap as well.

I'm always amazed at how roosevelt and churchill knew full well the pedigree of the nazis before the camps were discovered.

@shirleybalinski4535 2 жыл бұрын

Why would you think that? Most of the free world knew full well the nature of both dictators, their aims for world domination & their methods for dealing with people( both their own or subjects of occupied countries. The " Camps" were a peripheral issue to the larger goal of drafting them, lock,,stock and barrel. Reports had surfaced as early as 1941-1942 about the camps but, had been dismissed as not collaborated or disbelief.

@@shirleybalinski4535 I'm 65 and have studied ww2 everyday since I was 15. I believe I can say I know what I'm talking about. Remember in 1936 the whole world went to Berlin for the Olympics. Yes they knew about their antisemitism. But they didn't know they would resort to assembly line murder until about the middle of 1942. The point I wanted to make is that churchill in particular knew they were evil long before they proved it.

Democracy for the USA was helping overthrow/invade/assassinate leaders of countries in the Americas for business reasons/political interests while running institutionalised racial discrimination at home. Democracy for Britain was holding an empire by subjugating and exploiting people's around the globe while maintaining an aristocratic semi-feudal system of government at home.

Funny when you think about it that the ameican anthem they played is about Britain invading the US, and the British anthem is about the monarchy the US broke away from.
