That takes talent.

The V sign goes back to the middle ages, if the French captured English archers, (who were the most lethal soldiers on the battlefield), they would cut off the two fingers used to draw the bow, subsequently prior to battle English archers would taunt the opposing French by holding up their two fingers, over the centuries this became a classic British f..k you insult.

Winston Churchill was an eminent scholar of British History and wrote "The History of The English Speaking Peoples". He knew precisely what he was doing and the message he (and the British public) knew he was sending to Hitler. I feel it's a great shame the Director/Scriptwriter missed this gem, it would have made for a better and more accurate telling of the story.

Churchill deliberately caused stock and shipment of grains and crops from Bengal, India which resulted in The Great Bengal Famine killing millions in starvation. When conscience stricken British apprised him of people dying in streets he wrote, 'Why Gandhi hasn't died yet?". Churchill believed white Europeans lives were worth saving than Brown underfed Indians. Sounds like Hitler master race ideology to me. For Indians, Churchill is just a monster a stooge of brutal British colonial rule. Read that too. Read that too.

Does anyone really think that Winston Churchill, who fought in three wars and led his nation in a fourth, who had been in the dirtiest of political battles for more than 30 years, who was an ardent historian, AND who went to a British public school, didn't know what that gesture meant? He knew and he used it on purpose.
