Love or hate Sir Winston, he was the only leader in Europe to properly understand the threat posed by Nazi Germany, and the only leader that could have held The Empire together as the rest of Europe fell. His understanding of the Ameican people and our political system also helped before and after we came in to the war in December of 1941.
Neville Chamberlain simply would have capitulated after the fall of France.
Those of you, who by your posts, seem to think you would have been better off under the successors to either Hitler or Stalin are either incredibly naieve or insane, I've not quite figured out which yet.
