As much as any conflict that we can understand and remember, WWII came down to a battle of personalities. Churchill was a man - THE man, a human, of all time to balance the evil of the lowest, criminal persona in written history.
I am an Englishman whose father was a bomber pilot in WW2. He trained as a pilot in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1942/43. He said Britain owed Canada a great deal. They fought with us for the entire 6 years of the war in all services and were brave men.
It is nice to see that we Canadians were trying to support Churchill as much as possible. The fact that Churchill received so many gifts at a time when rationing was taking place proves how much we loved & supported him. I had no idea that he had had an illness (he had a lot of the risk factors including a long & very stressful war). It is amazing that he was able to do as well as he did with such a serious health concern; it makes us appreciate him even more.
@ILoveTeaDogs In the end Canadian troops ended up liberating large parts of Europe. Including my home city of Groningen in the Netherlands. That is still remebered thankfully overhere.
@ILoveTeaDogs I do so hope that England and Canada will forever be united in the Commonwealth and under the Crown. It has been a wonderful partnership!

The life of Lord Moran, Churchill's personal physician makes for great reading.
