CHURCHILL & STALIN, MEN OF WAR!
NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN WAS NOT AN "APPEASER!"
By Mike King
|
Enter the word "appeasement" into a Google Search browser, and then click on "Images". You will see image after image after image of UK Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, whose very name is synonymous with "appeasement" and weakness in the face of a bully.
.
As the tiresome cliched story goes, Chamberlain "appeased" Hitler at the Munich Conference (September 1938) by handing over Czechoslovakia to his domination. War was thus averted, but Hitler was now emboldened by Chamberlain's "appeasement."
.
That's the official moronic fairy tale; a fable that has been recently resurrected and repeated to wrongly describe the CIA's manufactured crisis in Ukraine and the dangers of "appeasing" Putin.
.
NOW, ONCE AGAIN, THE REAL STORY!
|
||||||
|
At the conclusion of World War I, the victorious allies rewrote the map of Central & Eastern Europe. The artificial state of "Czechoslovakia" was pieced together in 1918, combining Czechs, Germans & Slovaks under the new state. Additional minorities of Romanians, Hungarians, and Poles were also forced to live under this 'Frankenstein' state. The German portion (formerly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) was a long strip of northern territory known as "Sudetenland."
|
||
|
During the mid 1930's, a closet Communist named Edvard Benes is President of Czechosolvakia. Under his regime, Germans endure brutal attacks and oppression at the hands of Marxists. The 3,500,000 Sudetenland Germans wish to join their German brothers under Hitler's Reich, but are denied the right of self determination by the pro Stalinist Benes government.
|
||
|
During this time, Jewish & Globalist warmongers in Great Britain are maneuvering Britain into a war against Germany. The Czechoslovakia-Sudetenland controversy is the perfect "hot spot" to get the war started. In an attempt to force Hitler's hand, Czech Marxists intensify their abuse of the helpless Germans.
|
||||
|
Hitler is pushed to the brink by the deliberate abuse of the Sudetenland Germans. He threatens to liberate the Sudetenland by force, a move that could lead to war with Britain, France, and the USSR. In an 11th hour attempt to avoid war, Hitler invites three European leaders for a conference in Munich.
|
||
|
The Munich Conference is attended by four European heads of State. Hitler, Mussolini of Italy, Daladier of France, and Chamberlain of Britain meet in good faith for the purpose of resolving the crisis triggered by the artificial gangster State of Czechoslovakia.
The four leaders meet. |
The talks go smoothly. |
Hitler and Chamberlain keep the peace!
Hitler and Chamberlain part on friendly terms. |
The Munich Agreement: A fair deal for ALL parties! |
Upon his return to Britain, Chamberlain is greeted by jubilant crowds. He applauds the Munich Agreement as "peace in our time". All throughout Europe, Chamberlain is praised for his calm diplomacy.
|
|||||
|
Meanwhile, the degenerate, drunken, cigar chomping Winston Churchill denounces Neville Chamberlain, "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." Churchill said.
British historian David Irving later discovered that the warmongering Czech government had been secretly funneling money to the warmongering Churchill, who was plotting to replace Chamberlain.
|
||||
|
Upon his triumphal visit to the liberated German Sudetenland, Hitler receives a hero's welcome.
|
||||
|
In the summer of 1939, the Globalist warmongers manipulate Poland (which also holds an oppressed German minority captive) into provoking Hitler, exactly as Czechoslovakia had done in 1938. Once again, Hitler calls for an emergency conference.
.
But by this time around, poor Neville Chamberlain's hands have been tied by the powerful pro war forces in Britain. Less than 1 week before the conflict erupts, Chamberlain had been manuevered into signing a military defense pact with Poland. There will be no peace talks!
|
|
Salvador Dali's painting, "The Enigma of Hitler" depicts a desolate landscape, and telephone dripping tears as Chamberlain's trademark umbrella hangs from the branch. The painting signifies how Hitler's desperate phone calls to England were ignored.
|
By September 1 of 1939, the killing of Germans at the hands of Polish-Jewish Communist militias becomes so widespread that Hitler is forced to invade. Britain and France immediately declare war upon Germany. The gloating Churchill boasts of how his self fulfilling-prophecy regarding the danger of "appeasement" has come to pass.
Thus was born the FABLE of Neville Chamberlain's "appeasement."

MARXIST SWINE STILL CELEBRATE MASSACRE OF DRESDEN

AN EX GREEN BERET OFFICER REMEMBERS MEMORIAL DAY 2015 AND ALL THE PRIOR ONES
Do I ‘remember’ Memorial day? You bet your sweet buns I do! I also remember how it started and and how it is was celebrated in REAL AMERICAN LIFE, and the total hypocrisy it is today!
What a crock of SHIT! NO American soldier has defended ANY American soil or American’s homeland or protected ANY American civilians in this nation since the war of 1812! The only REAL threats to this country by foreign powers was during the communist threats of the Cuban Crisis and the Berlin Crisis. I ought to know – I served in uniform during those years.
Our insane CRIMINALLY IGNORANT/disgustingly irresponsible people have been responsible for the murder of TENS OF MILLIONS of innocent human beings In TWO world wars – which OUR OWN TREASONOUS GOVERNMENT either started – supported – funded – encouraged – incited and or FORCED other nations into.
The good REAL Christian German people were NEVER our enemies. Even General Patton finally realized the monstrous evil he was involved with – when he wrote his wife and told her the TRUTH – “ WE FOUGHT THE WRONG PEOPLE”. Yes – the Japanese did attack our naval forces in the Pacific – but only because our treasonous Marxist Godless jew-controlled President Roosevelt planned the attack, KNEW it was imminent and PURPOSELY kept it secret to insure it would happen.
Yes Dorothy, Marxist traitor FDR sacrificed all those lives at Pearl just to get us into ANOTHER word war that NOBODY – especially the Germans–wanted, but the jews and the Soviets and the British really wanted WAR – but ONLY if they could drag us into one.
The jews and the British had committed high treason AGAINST THE ENTIRE WORLD with their secret agreement known as the Balfour Declaration – when they dragged the USA into a mindless World War I they had created themselves – but that is another story of British/jew treason against Christianity (Islam) and free men.
Apparently we did NOT learn ANYTHING from our war of independence with these jew infested British scum as we fell for the same jew lies from the British that got us into WWII. Same deceit – same mentality – just different lies.
Remember kiddies – that oh-so-impassioned ‘Day Of Infamy speech’ was written a day before an attack that we FORCED and we PLANNED so as to get us on a wartime economy and end our failed Marxist economy (the depression) that caused it in the first place.
Every depression or ‘recession’ we have had in this country was planned and executed by the jews and their ‘Federal’ Reserve bank.
I live in a neighborhood of some of the most shallow, ignorant, irresponsible people I have ever known. Not ONE of them has ever defended anyone’s freedoms or homes in this country, NEVER – PERIOD! Most have never even WORN a military uniform. They ALL passionately scream and yell like demented loons during the Stupid Bowl and its drunken tailgate college frat mentality orgies – but their attitude towards the immeasurable agony and suffering we have caused tens of millions of innocent civilians in the Middle East? Ho hum. Can’t be bothered – can’t you see I’m watching a Bucs game?!
When I experience a person who knows NOTHING of the nature of my military service – and who says something irresponsibly stupid like: “Thank you for your service to our country” – I want to grasp him by the throat. For all he knows – my ‘service’ may have been like that of the racist, war criminal and COLD-BLOODED MURDERER ON A MASS SCALE Chris Kyle, an insane, cowardly, demonic piece of jew-endorsed/jew-supported filth who got his thrills by MURDERING civilian women and children whose ‘crimes’ were the DEFENSE of THEIR OWN HOMES AND FAMILIES from our marauding hordes of mercenary Godless terrorists.
I thank God I never had that kind of putrid, rancid, Godless, racist, demonic, sadistic, murderous scum in my commands.
Most people here know nothing about FACTUAL AUTHENTIC American history or the ugly fact that this nation has its past based on a foundation of never ending LIES! American history for the past century or so is based on so much deceit that it is a miracle that we still have not already met our well deserved destiny on the trash heap of history.
We ‘merkans have a legacy of taking the most sacred, hallowed, sanctified, venerable, day reserved for reflection, thanksgiving, humility, and gratitude – and predictably turning it into a yet-another shallow, jew-mentality orgy of gluttony, parties, drinking, orgies, and shopping-spree-bargain days at ‘blue-light specials’. It matters not if it is the sacred event of the birthday of our Lord – or the birthday of our NATION – it is all the same commercial trash to our shallow, selfish, petty, minds.
We have taught our dumbed-down, public school product children NO history – NO wisdom. – NO truths and NO MEANINGFUL VALUES WHATSOEVER.
This is how this shameful ‘party day’ got started. A Union General named John A. Logan who was the Union Vets Association leader decided to see if he could inflict even more pain and insult to still-grieving widows and crying orphans of those terrible confederate ‘rebels’. Notice the callus use of language that could ONLY be interpreted as demeaning to ALL of the CSA dead who fought in defense of THEIR land and THEIR families and THEIR freedom. Remember – all you witless brainwashed history experts – the civil war was NOT fought for freeing the slaves. IT WAS FOUGHT FOR STATES RIGHTS. Yes Dorothy – the North had slaves too.
Here is the text of what our thoughtful tactful General Logan stated that we should do to remember the fallen dead – but of course ONLY the fallen dead from the North. In his ‘Reemergence Day’ (as it was originally termed)
…’for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land…’
‘THEIR’ COUNTRY!? – as in belonging to the victors and Jew carpetbaggers, as in SPOILS OF WAR?
What malicious, lying, hate speech – REAL HATE SPEECH! It was a slap in the face of the countless men–both young and old–who gave their lives to protect THEIR countries. I guess to the Union killer Logan the life of an American Southern son was NOTHING! Rot in hell John Logan.
FACT: even Union Generals Sherman and Grant – as hard nosed as they were – tried their best to kick the wretched Jews parasites out of the defeated South.
And as for the fraud criminal Abraham Lincoln – he can rot in hell as well. Lincoln could have prevented all of the unnecessary bloodshed if he wanted to and yet did not. Certainly not MY idea of what a Godly American President should be. His Gettysburg address did nothing more than fuel the fires of hatred between brother and brother. ‘More than a million fighting men have given the last full measure of devotion. Their valor and sacrifices have made possible our freedoms our values our very existence’.
What hypocrisy! Do you have ANY idea of how many young American men from the South suffered torture, starvation and deprivation in Union prisons for their loyalties to their families and THEIR traditions? In my book – John Wilkes Booth was a REAL HERO whether he did it from patriotic motives or self recognition. Lincoln deserved to die for his horrid sins against millions. I have even heard Lincoln called a ‘saint’. Such filthy, putrid, blasphemy.
If any of you school age kids read this – be aware of this truth. Any teacher who taught you that the American Civil war was fought to ‘free the slaves’ is either an imbecile or a DAMNED LIAR! It was fought to preserve STATES RIGHTS. That slavery bullshit will NOT FLY! Slavery may be immoral and un-Christian – but it existed in the North as well as the South.
The tenth Amendment of The Bill Of Rights drafted in 1789 and ratified in 1791 reads as follows–‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution- nor prohibited to it by the States are reserved TO THE STATES, RESPECTIVELY – or TO THE PEOPLE’.
THAT – folks – is what the war was all about – so tell your liberal, lying, jew-indoctrinated teachers to STOP THE BULLSHIT AND THE LIES! Ignorance of HISTORY has caused more war, death, destruction, human misery, hatred, orphans, widows, cripples, and hopelessness than ALL other natural disasters on Earth since the beginning of recorded time. Is the TRUTH now so repulsive that we must keep our own children in endless ignorance?
What the Satanic jews did to the Christian Germans during the Weimar era is CRUCIAL to an understanding of the causes for WWII and the UNITED STATES ASSISTED spread of the horrors of communism from Europe to Asia – but I digress —
Does ANYBODY remember the pure hell that was imposed on every man woman and and child in the South? By the yardstick of WHOSE freedoms? – WHOSE values ?– Whose measure of ‘existence’? I was born in the ‘North’ but I am NOT ASHAMED to admit that I AM ashamed of what the North did to the American people. The cruelty and hardships imposed on innocent women and children was unparalleled with the exception of our treatment of aboriginal people here – certainly nothing to be proud of. We are MASTERS of war crimes and atrocities – even to our OWN people! Don’t even get me started on Wounded Knee, Ruby Ridge and Waco.
That NEEDED to be said – I have paid my dues – and so I said it. Our so-called Memorial Day of parties and drunkenness is an abomination and INSULT to ALL decent, Godly men who have ever served in uniform with HONOR for the purpose of at least PREPARING to defend our homeland from ACTUAL UNPROVOKED ATTACK.
Anything else is either IMPERIALISM and or AGGRESSION and/or TERRORISM – PERIOD!
Anyway – later on it became apparent that MY simple observation today – had been shared by MILLIONS of offended Americans and rightfully so! After WWI it was renamed to the present designation of Memorial Day.
Yes – I will remember the men I knew – some well and some only slightly – like Bo Gritz and David Hackworth – who were REAL heroes who risked life and limb against REAL ENEMIES – not old men, children, and pregnant mothers like our brave sociopathic trash today whose fathers were not even born when I trained their grandfathers. I will mourn the REAL MEN – Godly men – like the ones I trained nearly 50 years ago – when we DID face a realistic unprovoked military confrontation by communist forces. not the putrid child murdering scum criminals I see today!
Few young people today even have a clue as to what was the essence of the Berlin Crisis – or the Cuban Crisis – both involving communists. And NEVER EVER forget this fact–JEWS AND COMMUNISM ARE INSEPARABLE.
Memorial Day was meant to be a day of solemn reflection of the sacrifices Americans in uniform made to preserve our most sacrosanct values and human ideals – family – God – country – through selfless sacrifice – of duty – commitment – honor, and valor. Those were lofty ideals – to be sure – but NONE of those values or traits even exists anymore in today’s mercenary army of dumbed-down hired killers–sadists, psychopaths, and human garbage–with the total approval of their brain-dead equally immoral parents. I have encountered that disgrace more times than I can recall.
Just look at the putrid leadership we have, starting with our criminal Zionist sock-puppet ‘President’ and his 100% ass-kissing ambitious war criminal military leaders with ABSOLUTELY no MORALS, NO compassion and no souls, KNOWING FULL WELL – that their heinous crimes protected NO American in ANY Way – and whose greed and lust for power are loyal ONLY to the Jews and Jew puppets to whom they so eagerly grovel.
Remember General ‘BETRAY-US’ and General ‘McWARMONGER’? Two examples of ‘Gulf-War’ criminal thugs. I would RELISH to see these ‘IsraHELL first’ – Godless hypocrites HUNG for their sadistic grizzly crimes! These criminals are the EXACT type who would command military troops to murder civilians in our own neighborhoods if commanded to. A Marine base called 29 Palms has already proven that disgraceful terrifying FACT! I have known their evil ilk my whole life! I have witnessed this type of Jew brutality in Palestine. It is a killing field more brutal and sadistic than even the mass murders of Cambodia.
Remember the Genocide in Cambodia under Pol Pot, a Marxist who learned his killing art form from the Jew Commissars of the USSR? It was considered one of the world’s most horrible mass killings – YET the genocide our brave young killers have committed in Iraq – NUMERICALLY EXCEEDS THAT OF CAMBODIA. That is a truth you will NEVER learn form our Jew controlled MSM. Have you ever bothered to ask your local church, newspaper or TV station WHY you were never told this, or do you even give a damn any more as long as you have your fancy SUV, your credit cards and cold beer?
And after all, YOUR son is a ‘GOOD’ boy and would NEVER do such horrid things – right? Most of those two million civilians must have slipped on camel dung and hit their heads – right?
NONE – not ONE of these killers in desert camos today are ANYTHING but cold-blooded murdering bastards. Do your own net searches and see the horrible crimes they commit 24-7 against defenseless civilians in their OWN homes in their OWN country. Next time you see one of these bastards home on leave – remember – he is a CRIMINAL, a monster, and should be treated as such.
The rapes – cold-blooded execution murders and beatings of innocent terrified innocent human beings go on 24 hours a day. Only a VERY small percentage of the TRUE number of crimes will EVER be shown or filmed. Even so, the factual evidence of these atrocities are LEGION! Helicopter gunships murdering dozens of helpless children and elderly in the streets – young girls being raped, beaten to death and burned – an old man on HIS OWN STREET gunned down by a dozen brave armed US killers – fathers dragged out of their homes, bound & gagged, shot in the head and thrown in drainage ditches like dogs. Their terrible crimes? Trying to defend their OWN wives and children!
See these atrocities for yourself. In quantity, savage, sadistic cruelty, and frequency they are unparalleled in modern warfare. In just the 24 hours of the Memorial Day itself – these scum we are supposed to honor for ‘keeping us free’ or other cute, lying. Jew clichés to keep us dumbed-down for the furtherance of endless serial wars and genocides against people who have NEVER DONE ANYBODY HERE ANY HARM OR HAVE NEVER EVER BEEN ANY REMOTE THREAT IN ANY WAY – will murder in cold-blood a lot more innocent souls for the greater glory of the Jews.
Do you know how many more women and children must be raped, beaten to death, shot, blown to pieces by bombs and heavy artillery, incinerated by white phosphorous and other horrible deaths? Care to guess? We have already slaughtered a MINIMUM of TWO MILLION CIVILIANS. Take that figure times the months and years we have been MURDERING these poor people there will be ONE THOUSAND MORE DEAD BABIES WOMEN AND CHILDREN in that 24 hour period in the Middle East while we BRAVE ‘merikan party animals get drunk and party and stuff our fat faces as we pay our respects to the murderers who our Godless Jew- dominated society has created to protect IsraHELL!
These ‘poor souls’ do not get a 3-day ‘holiday’ – so there will be more like THREE THOUSAND MORE corpses that we can gloat over having murdered by Tuesday morning. Have a great orgy party animals, your Jew masters will be proud. I have spoken ONLY the truth – a dirty word in 2015 AmeriKa. I can practically guarantee that by this time next year – we WILL be a police state and anyone who DARES to speak out against evil as I have – will have the Jew police terrorists at his door and will disappear – legally of course from the then totally Jew controlled Federal Judicial System.
We are only a HEART BEAT away from that EXACT scenario at this moment in time – for those of you who can tear yourselves away from your ice cold Budweisers and tailgate parties long enough to see what is raking place before your very eyes . Like it or not – what I said is the truth and you had damn-well better give it thought before the ‘thought police’ come to your home.
May God forgive you for doing nothing to save our own country from Jew greed and goy stupidity.
Now go out and party like children – or GROW UP and be REAL AMERICANS! TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THE TRUTH – Before it is too late – or they will–one day, when they finally figure it all out for themselves–curse you in your graves for the lies you kept on supporting. It is the right thing to do. TRUTH is ALWAYS favored by our Lord.

Book Of John Chapter 8 – as Christ damns the Jews ( and NOT JUST THE HIGH PRIESTS AND Pharisees – see notes below)
” Ye do the deeds of your father (the devil). If God were your father. ye would love me; for I proceed forth and came from God: neither came I of myself, but He sent me.”
” Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie – he speaketh of his own; ( the Jews) for he is a liar, and the father of it”
“That this SATANIC FATHERHOOD cannot be limited to the Pharisees is MADE CLEAR in 1 John 3;8-10”

N.B. Regarding my LOVE FOR ADOLF HITLER, it has to do with my personal reading and research over some 50 years, and as a MUSLIM where in Islam truth rules no matter what!
I was not aware that MARK GLENN was expressing similar views about Hitler, but, as for the Georgian Man of Steal - STALIN - he has the blood of scores of millions of innocent people on his Communist and Jewish hands!
THIS VIDEO HAS CONFUSED AND SHAKEN ME UP COMPLETELY! I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OUT OF IT!
Some Comments On Mark Glenn And Trevor Labonte
Sunday 2nd of September 2018
My "adopted Son" Brendon O'Connell is damn wrong about Hitler. For over 1400 years MUHAMMAD, the Prophet of Islam (that he said perfected all previous religions that were in a corrupted state!) has been demonised, vilified, and Muslims massacred by the hundreds of millions, yet Muslims will never stop DEFENDING him no matter what it costs!
ISLAM IS HAQ - TRUTH! IF HITLER WAS A GREAT MAN, WHY NOT DEFEND HIS HONOUR? AND ALL INDICATES THAT HE WAS INDEED THE GREATEST LEADER IN EUROPE, A MAN OF PEACE BEFORE JUDEA DECLARED WAR ON HIM, AND BEFORE THE BANK GANSTERS DECIDED TO GENOCIDE HIS PEOPLE AND MASS RAPE HIS COUNTRY'S WOMEN AND YOUNG GIRLS!
Because others do not focus on
"HOW Israel RULES - Operation Talpiot. Domination of high technology sector,"
Brendon castigates everyone who fights Jewish Power and Zionism the way they can and the way they decided to!
It seems that Brendon had a go at me because I was one of those that he does not approve of!
I may agree with him about Joe Cortina, but I never saw him write anything that the Jews themselves did not write about non Jews!
As for revealing the contents of private emails, I am dead against this unchivalrous practice!

THE MOTHER
ReplyDeleteWhen your mother has grown older,
When her dear, faithful eyes
no longer see life as they once did,
When her feet, grown tired,
No longer want to carry her as she walks -
Then lend her your arm in support,
Escort her with happy pleasure.
The hour will come when, weeping, you
Must accompany her on her final walk.
And if she asks you something,
Then give her an answer.
And if she asks again, then speak!
And if she asks yet again, respond to her,
Not impatiently, but with gentle calm.
And if she cannot understand you properly
Explain all to her happily.
The hour will come, the bitter hour,
When her mouth asks for nothing more.

Did Churchill Ever Admire Hitler?
The Hitler articles and Great Contemporaries
By Richard M. Langworth
One of the most controversial chapters in Great Contemporaries (And in the opinion scholars the one least like the rest) is “Hitler and his choice.” Some critics maintain that the essay implies approval of Hitler, rendering Churchill a hypocrite. Others ask if the Great Contemporaries version was a milder form of an earlier article—Andifso, whether Churchill pulled his punches. (Paintings: National Archives and Wikimedia Commons.)
The Hitler chapter in Great Contemporaries, like the rest of the book, was derived from a previous article. In this case the original was “The Truth about Hitler,” in The Strand Magazine of November 1935 (Cohen C481). Ronald Cohen notes that Strand editor Reeves Shaw, who paid him £250 for the article, wanted Churchill to make it “as outspoken as you possibly can… absolutely frank in your judgment of [Hitler’s] methods.” It was.
Two years later, when Churchill was preparing his Hitler essay for Great Contemporaries, he characteristically submitted it to the Foreign Office, which asked that he tone it down. Preferring that he not publish it at all, they were somewhat mollified by the result. (See Martin Gilbert, Churchill: A Life, London: Heinemann, 1991, 580-81). Nonetheless, the belief has persisted that Churchill wrote approvingly of Hitler, in either his book or his article—or in other writings for the British press.
“Government by Dictators”
On 10 October 1937, six days after publication of Great Contemporaries, Churchill published an article, “This Age of Government by Great Dictators,” his seventh installment in the series “Great Events of Our Time” for News of the World (Cohen C535.7). Here he traced the evolution of British democracy from the feudal ages, the destruction of continental monarchies during the Great War, and the rise of the Bolsheviks, Fascists and Nazis. His Hitler paragraphs in this piece are mainly—but not wholly—from his Great Contemporaries text.
In his opening about Hitler, Churchill retained the language from his 1935 Strand article which he had combed out of Great Contemporaries, speaking of Hitler’s “guilt of blood” and “wicked” methods. He then inserts two sentences from the Strand which are omitted from his book. (This article is available from the editor by email):
(continued)
ReplyDeleteIt is on this mystery of the future that history will pronounce Hitler either a monster or a hero. It is this which will determine whether he will rank in Valhalla with Pericles, with Augustus and with Washington, or welter in the inferno of human scorn with Attila and Tamerlane.
Were those words from his Strand piece retained in defiance of the Foreign Office’s wishes? Or were they there because Churchill was too good a writer not to re-use good words carefully composed two years earlier? Whatever the reason, they do not materially change Churchill’s view of Hitler—and his considerable doubt that history would come to regard Hitler in a positive light.
“Friendship with Germany”
Churchill’s critics sometimes quote sentences which they think came from these articles or Great Contemporaries:
One may dislike Hitler’s system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated, I hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations.
In fact this passage is from Churchill’s foreign affairs article in the Evening Standard, 17 September 1937: “Friendship with Germany” (Cohen C548), subsequently reprinted in Step by Step (London: Thornton Butterworth, 1939, Cohen A111).
