Who's the little guy with the little banjo? I saw him earlier in the series, and now I'm kind of intrigued. He sure is terrible.

[MrMostevilgenius]

@Inediblehulk That's George Formby.

@MrMostevilgenius Thanks.

Damn Germans got play "dress up" and be the "Master Race" for a few years and then a generation of brainwashed fools were just scattered corpses from the Russian Steppe to Central France. The Nazi's Tantrum left their country a smoldering dung heap, minus a generation of young men. Germany was cut in 2, much Eastern Land swallowed up permanently, occupied and broken. Modern Nazi wannabes seem to miss the point when glamorizing the uneducated little Austrian Corporal with a daily Meth habit...

@germaniajim Ja - weil Sie hässliche Quadrat-köpfige angeborene Kohle mit niedriger Intelligenz sind, die versagt hat, irgendetwas außer dem Schlachten von Zivilisten zu erreichen, und jeder hasst Sie.

Churchill said the Germans had throughout history a belligerent people.IMHO that was a very nice way to describe murderers [the Germans at that time]

[jon1156]

It's a brief excerpt but in Churchill's speech I heard only four words of more than two syllables: remorseless, infected, corroding, Africa. Short sentences, simple words -- such a powerful effect.

The singer is George Thornby. Norman Wisdom, a comic of that period, is still alove in his late 90's.

[felixallen111]

Actually, its George Formby - not Thornby.

[mc0558]

You'r right, of course. Thank you!

In 1947, I was taken to Coventry by my parents to visit relatives. I was only 8. We had come from America where I had spent the war because of my father's work. My parents took me up the bell tower of Coventry Cathedral. The rest of the Cathedral had been destroyed. Even now, I can remember my shock then at the age of 8. I had never see such destruction. The city before me was a vast bombed out ruin, with ramshackled lean tos with corregated iron rooves. I never forgot what war can bring about

Churchill looked pretty mafia with a tommy gun.
