    Churchill didn’t even want a war with Hitler. You probably saw that during your searches. He thought Hitler was a great man and there should be more Hitlers in Europe. The only reason the allies (excepted the USSR, they fought for survival) joined the war was because Hitler had started moving outwards. When he invaded Poland, that’s when they knew their strategy of appeasement wouldn’t work any more and he would come for them next. They still hoped Hitler would keep moving east though, and destroy the “red menace” first.

    After all they had been doing crimes just as horrible for centuries in their colonies.

      oh yeah, I was shocked how he was hoping too see “a Hitler come to power in the island if we lose this war.”

      If I have understood it correctly, he wouldn’t have a problem with Hitler or Nazis if they weren’t against British people. he opposes Nazism, yet admires Hitler as if the extreme nationalism in Germany was something he wanted in the “Empire”.
