BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpat...

I agree with you but I tend to think Churchill's true achievement was in the 1930s he alone was trying to warn the Western Democracies of the dangers of Hitler rather than his courageous stand in 1940-1941 which really saved the world only to be dominated by FDR and Stalin. Also I have noticed on some American college campuses that whenever the Churchill's name comes up some people bring up India and Gandhi as if somehow that counter balances his entire career

Interesting that he evidently didn't have *any* idea of how to play to the camera. I suppose, in those days, few did, nor would there be the PR advisers around to coach him. Compare this to the likes of, say, Bill Clinton's presentation. We have come a long way, and lost a good deal of innocence, since then.

Roy Stoddard Yes, I'm familiar with the conspiracy *theory* (having read some books and viewed a film about it). There's a problem with the idea though. It is most likely not true. All of the evidence seems to say that the target of _"Mondschein Sonate"_ was not known-though London was suspected to be it. From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_Blitz : _"In his 1974 book The Ultra Secret, Group Captain F. W. Winterbotham asserted that the British government had advance warning of the attack from Ultra: intercepted German radio messages encrypted with the Enigma cipher machine and decoded by British cryptoanalysts at Bletchley Park. He further claimed that Winston Churchill ordered that no defensive measures should be taken to protect Coventry, lest the Germans suspect that their cipher had been broken."_ _"Winterbotham was a key figure for Ultra; he supervised the "Special Liaison Officers" who delivered Ultra material to field commanders. However, Winterbotham's claim has been rejected by other Ultra participants and by historians. They state that while Churchill was indeed aware that a major bombing raid would take place, no one knew what the target would be."_ Also: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11486219 You're right though: _who knows?!_

A great coaltion eloquent war leader, but during peace time poor judgement and sometimes incompentance with callous missinformed bungling.... Cable St seige, Tonypandy troops against the Welsh miners, Gallipolli, return to the Gold Standard, General Strike supression, support for fascist Edward VIII, Narvik campaign, attitude to Indian freedom , Bengal famine, accusing Atlee's Labour Party of being 'Gestapo', palship with Max Beaverbrook, and indifference to health and welfare of the people. He polled less votes than Labour in 1951. I had the misfortune to be born under his premiership in the early 1950s, and leading to the Tory Suez disaster of 1955/56. A sad poscript to a great man of the hour ,with wit humour and occasional humanity
