Not only a tragedy but pure evil, Churchill is one of the biggest war criminals to ever roam this earth

He was a statist and did terrible things for the British Empire. His justifications are similar to those statists who believe that anything done for America's national interest is therefore justified. In the end, these are the very actions that bring down the Empire. He was a good orator though, you have to give him that. He also really did believe in his cause against nazism. The survival of the nation was at times in the balance, and it's hard to put ourselves in that mindset. In 1940 it looked like England was about to be overrun by some quite unsavory characters.
Dresden and the other firebombings were the real holocaust
Worth remembering that Germany bombed London and Coventry before the allies bombed Germany. The only thing that prevented Germany from destroying the UK was their ability to do so, not a higher morality. The whole war and every death was a tragedy. Ww1 and 2 were the destruction of Europe and European culture. The next 70 years were the outplayed of that. The sons of Japheth fighting each other.
I can not agree with this by any means. It's just factually incorrect. Not to defend anyone, emotions aside it's not true.

My grandparents sat in bomb shelters in August 1940. 4 months later, after "the few" won the battle of Britain, the bombs were falling on Germany.
