Winston Churchill and the Holocaust

Winston Churchill was the first man, and one of the few men, who saw Hitler’s Germany for what it really was, and took it for what it was worth. He saw Germany as a great threat and it certainly was.

Churchill and Hitler both saw many things about the war in common. They both knew it would be a hard fought battle and a struggle. They both agreed that Germany was very powerful. Now the fact they didn’t both agree on, which no one ever agrees on in war, is who is on the morale side. Hitler thought he was right and Churchill thought he was a madman. Churchill thought that Hitler was being unfair by breaking the treaty, but Hitler saw the treaty as unfair in the first place.

Most people weren’t threatened by Germany probably because of World War I. Germany was defeated then, and they will be now. Many people were also naive to the actual size of the German Army. People assumed that Germany had kept its word in the treaty of Versailles, keeping its men down, and not acquiring an air force. We know this was not the case.

Churchill was right about everything, he knew Hitler was no fool, and wouldn’t invade Poland without sufficient forces to fight of Poland’s Big Brothers. Churchill refused to underestimate the power of the Nazis, but really I don’t think even he could see them for the power they truly had.

Although not underestimating the Germans Churchill dint get that confused with respecting them, he saw them as less then the English, much like Hitler’s opinions on other races. Churchill thought the Germans were being foolish in their demands, but he didn’t see the determination in the faces of the men willing to fight and die for Germany, and Hitler.

Once again we are going into a world war with both sides assured of victory, and this one is truly impossible to call. If the countries wish to defeat Germany they will have to band together, and stand up against Germany. One thing is for sure the Germans weren’t prepared to accept the terms of the treaty any long, and were willing to fight against it holocaust timeline.

Churchill is a refreshing reminder that not everyone is to pig headed to see what the truth in something really is. Thanks God there are people who can think for themselves.
