Also note: Hitler did have extra marital affairs. He had an incestuous relationship with his half sister, and only became a vegetarian after he allegedly discovered her body, when she committed suicide "for love of him".
Churchill was also a decorated war veteran, having participated in the cavalry charge at Omdurman. He was armed with a broomhandle mauser instead of the usual sabre because of a shoulder injury.
Of the 3 I prefer Churchill, on the whole.
