He helped stop the Holocaust that never happened in the minds of loonie lefties.

Churchill had to be dragged kicking and screaming into Normandy in 44' by Marshall and the Americans.

He vetoed the Cross-Channel invasion planned in 43'.

Americans were in no position to argue after Kasserine.

From looking at the forces available including landing craft I suspect a ‘Second Front Now’ invasion in mid-43 would have produced a very big version of the Anzio Beachead. Which, I believe, is what WSC was concerned would happen. He never thought the Germans would crush the landing as they did at Dieppe. It would be to big for that. But contain it and turn it into a sort of the second coming of Gallipoli, that did have a good chance of happening. A year later the correlation of forces was really heavily tipped towards the Anglo-Americans.

I presume you did not forget your sarc tag.

I am no history scholar, but considering that I read PT109 at the age of 10 and later endeavored to understand more about WWII than just mechanized warfare as a childhood hobby, your history is not aligned with what I read.

Rather, your history seems more aligned with the movie “Churchill” which I’ve never seen, but have read its reviews and choose to never view it.

Reviews which include The Churchill Project, by the way.
