People point out that Churchill was against Hitler ‘from the beginning’ as some great moral stance when the reason was that he was a German imperialist and the Anglos didn’t want anyone else at the table.
Opinions on Churchill is a great litmus test for anyone who is ‘into’ WW2. Your average Joe will only have seen the hagiographies, but you don’t have to scratch further than millimetres under the surface to find this kind of shit.
I used to listen to ‘historiepodden’ and was annoyed at some of the libbery and such, but not a lot of history podcasts that focus on Swedish history around. But I had to drop it after one of the hosts went on a rant about how great an injustice it was that the Brits voted Churchill out of office as he was such a great man.
