Re: Was Churchill overrated?
Hello brndirt1 and rhs,
thanks for the added information. The way I see it, Churchill set his country above all others but to the extend that he disliked what others (e.g.germans) did, demanded or displayed - but he wouldn't hesitate to do just the same for himself or Britain.
As such Germany was an obvious rival or even the most dangerous opponent to his beloved Britain.
So I guess that he was no different from any other politician of his generation - with one destinction, he just wouldn't give in and therefore he wasn't a man of compromise. As such one might call him a hardliner and due to the century he was living in the most obvious "enemy" or "threat" to him and the British Empire was Germany even before the Nazis.
So I guess that I am quite close as having him identified as being anti German -maybe not a hater - for plausible reasons from his point of view.
Regards
Kruska
