May 10th, 1940: as Hitler launches his lightning war on Western Europe, Churchill is named Prime Minister of Great Britain. Standing as an isolated nation against a powerful enemy, Churchill refuses to surrender, vowing to defend Britain at all costs. For the next five years, these two men dedicate their lives to each other’s destruction, but their interlinked story began decades prior. Discover the origins of these two titans from their experiences in WW1, how that molded them during the interwar period, and how it ultimately led to their confrontation in WW2.

Churchill was a fake who stole valour frequently as exposed by historian Doctor Mark Felton on his YouTube channel.
It's crazy to get colorized footage of before we know of him in actual power, but beginning to grow and growing the party. It just feels a bit surreal.
Let's label the Nazis correctly.
Heavy Government (More or Less Nationalized Industry):
1. Far Left = Communism (North Korea) / Nazism (WWII Germany) / Fascism (WWII Italy, Modern China)
2. Further Left = Democratic Socialism (Modern Greece)
Moderate-to-Heavier Government Regulation:
3. Left = Democratic Party / Labor Party (America / Britain)
4. Center = Tory Party (Britain)
Limited-to-Lighter Government Regulation:
5. Right = Republican Party (American)
Little Government (Private and Unregulated Industry):
6. Further Right = Libertarianism
7. Far Right = Anarchism
