Apparently British troops have landed near Narvik with no real plan, lead by a general with no intention of taking the fight to the Germans "till the snow melted," if then.
In the mean time, the Germans will have all the time they need to establish and fortify their positions.
Churchill must feel like President Lincoln did in dealing with the likes of General McClellan.
One important difference between the two situations is that Churchill is not the one with ultimate responsibility, as Lincoln was. But I get the impression that he would not shrink from that responsibility if it were placed on his stooped shoulders for some reason.
