  • Stalin admired Hitler and helped him a lot. He took days to believe that Hitler had invaded.

  • I never understood why Germany declared war on the United States. Hitler declared war on no other nation, and it still boggles my mind that he would go out of his way to pick a fight with such a populous and industrious nation.

  • @lauraleesmithagain He meant that he might have become the US President instead of the British PM, i.e. not having to have been invited just to speak at Congress.

  • I didn't get the joke about Churchill's parentage. Wouldn't it make more sense that if his mother was american he would've gotten to America on his own by being born there?

  • You have enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something, sometime in your life.

  • @crockyoshighty Notice the Senators seated on each side of Churchill as he speaks to Congress, with their arms folded. It is the body language associated with-- show me! I'm not giving way the time of day until I know with guarantees, what's in it for me. That was America's attitude towards Britain, not Roosevelt's, perhaps--and only perhaps, but the American people's.

  • @xander7ful I don't think Roosevelt was an isolationist either, but he was a politician to the tip of his fingers. The rank of emitrant origins in America in 1941 was 1st germans, 2nd irish, 3rd italians, 4th english. There was no love for Britain in America. The intellectuals and the Jews, yes. But that was it! Roosevelt knew his country. They would never have agreed to entering the war if it hadn't have been for Pearl Harbour.

  • Hitler left Britain with no alternative but to embrace Stalin. It was clear to everyone that if we won the war, Stalin would be in possession of all of eastern and much of central Europe. The geo-political reality was inescapable. And when Hitler was finished, the Americans would go home. We'd be broke and left alone to face Stalin in Europe. That dismal state was Churchill's long term reality; Roosevelt's was different.

  • 2:58 > He reminds me of Ronnie Corbett. R.I.P Ronnie Barker. :o)o:
