Reading about Sir Winston is always uplifting. I don't think people in the US appreciate him as much as they should. My friend's father is originally from Canada and he remembers watching Sir Winston's funeral on tv, everything in Canada was closed. My own father doesn't recall any such observances in the US.
I don't know much about military history so I'll tell you a few little unimportant things. Sir Winston is one of my heros because he, like me, was not a good student. It's always great to see someone who was such a poor student go on to do spectacular things! It might also interest you to know that Sir Winston loved horses, when he was a boy he wanted to spend most of his time around horses, he was an EXCELLENT rider. Oddly enough he was terrible about driving cars, he once drove himself from England to the French Riviera, he was very proud that he managed to do this all by himself and without incident lol. He was a BIG spender.

The man standing next to Hitler could be Speer.
