Sir Winston Churchill 1874 - 1965
I Vow To Thee My Country - Gustav Holst
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS (30 November 1874 -- 24 January 1965) was a British politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. He served as Prime Minister twice (1940--45 and 1951--55). A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. To date, he is the only British prime minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and he was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.[1]
Churchill was born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Marlborough. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jenny Jerome, an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, the Sudan and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and through books he wrote about his campaigns.
At the forefront of politics for fifty years, he held many political and cabinet positions. Before World War I, he served as President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary and First Lord of the Admiralty as part of the Asquith Liberal government. During the war, he continued as First Lord of the Admiralty until the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign, which he had sponsored, caused his departure from government. He then served briefly on the Western Front, commanding the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. He returned to government as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, and Secretary of State for Air. After the War, Churchill served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Conservative (Baldwin) government of 1924--29, controversially returning the pound sterling in 1925 to the gold standard at its pre-War parity, a move widely seen as creating deflationary pressure on the UK economy. Also controversial were Churchill's opposition to increased home rule for India, and his resistance to the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII.
Out of office and politically "in the wilderness" during the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in warning about the danger from Hitler and in campaigning for rearmament. On the outbreak of World War II, he was again appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on 10 May 1940, Churchill became Prime Minister. His steadfast refusal to consider defeat, surrender or a compromise peace helped inspire British resistance, especially during the difficult early days of the War when Britain stood alone in its active opposition to Hitler. Churchill was particularly noted for his speeches and radio broadcasts, which helped inspire the British people. He led Britain as Prime Minister until victory had been secured over Nazi Germany.
After the Conservative Party lost the 1945 election, he became Leader of the Opposition. In 1951, he again became Prime Minister, before retiring in 1955. Upon his death, The Queen granted him the honour of a state funeral, which saw one of the largest assemblies of world statesmen ever.
The fact that people are vandalising his statue now is disgusting. None of us would be here without his leadership and dedication to this country, have some respect
I'm leftist, but i respect Winston Churchill
@@cringefest7841 did you know racism is common in that time? Don't expect people to be snowflake at that time like you.
Mate don't, that made me so fuckin angry. Police stood by and watched them do it
@@cringefest7841 tell me a name of any world leader from Churchill's time who valued their ethnic background less than others? It was a very common form of patriotism, which today still exists in India, Pakistan, China and most Arab countries. So stop being a moaning bitch and if you don't like the country you're living in just leave.
CringeFest wha, a man raised in the late 1800’s was a racist, what a revelation.
Too bad he wasn’t anti fascist and anti communist too... oh wait he was
I am 86 years old with only a few years of life left, yet I don't long to be young again. I have so many rich and fulfilling memories. As a little kid I went through WW2, that terrible war, those bleak dark days that stretched into years. But I have no real regrets.
I feel for the young, growing up without the experience of the heritage I know so well. It's their heritage too, belonging to a proud island race that, despite the mischief done by the envious and ungrateful, still owns world renown.
We do not know what lies ahead and I do not know how much more I shall see but I am prepared to believe that better times will come. We are overwhelmed by those many of whom would supplant us but it is my prayer thst there will be some who will join with us, the British people, with a genuine desire to make the United Kingdom great again.
I say to the young "Work to make our nation great again. Give glory to God. A great heritage is yours. Treasure it and, with God's help, bring it back again.
Then be of good cheer, because things are changing fast. What trying to destroy our culture has done is made white people racially conscious. They don't care about nation, it's about blood and soil. Sound familiar? They have sown wind, and soon there will be a great many whirlwinds for them to reap. I hope you see it.
Very well said sir.. 👏
There is no generation like your generation ❤
I’m now 40 & truly wish I was born 40years earlier, the pain I have when I see my country as it is now is deep.
@@marcosmagic1983 Thanks👍. That's encouraging for I fear that younger generations might not appreciate the heritage we Britons have, a heritage second to none. It is still very much alive and is yours as well as mine. Treasure it.
I do believe that despite the failures of those in authority better times will come. I hope I'll yet live long enough to enjoy some of what lies before us as we drag ourselves out of these miserable times. The UK has led before.
"If you are going through hell, keep going."

+funman619 Still no. There is no audio recording, written record, or historical report by a person whom heard him say this. You can find searches associating it with him because people do not really fact check on the Internet and then propagate the error...
Mate, you are in denial it clearly states, if it was not true why would google have it as one of his quote's you think everyone in history wrote down their quote's google got his information from X WW2 soldiers and X Mp's
When the Queen passed away I immediately was reminded of this song.
Indeed. Her impact may not have been as impressive, but her longevity will stand in memorium forever.
Rest Easy, Elizabeth. You held the crown well.
On God same, because of the patriotism in the song and the melody for me
Does anyone have the actual song for Spotify please?
@@kristopherbishop7333 part of it is but by Johan Soderqvist
@@kristopherbishop7333 it's a hymn!
It's madess that greats like Churchill can be so despised today by a generation that neer had to go through the trials and tribulations that their ancestors did. It's genuinely sad how detached from the real world a lot of modern people are.
Perfectly said. Could not agree more!
Churchill was bribed to destroy Europe and the British Empire by Strakosch.
Hear hear...A proud British boomer..having to witness the current youth who hated him, vandalised his image for they have no clue how Sir Winston has saved Great Britain from perils of WW2..A prouder member of 17 veterans in our families that served this nation during its darkest years.
Newer facts come up. Throws light on who Winnie really was. Ok he stood firm against Nazis but he also committed atrocities starvation in India. Younger generations aren’t blind followers like the old generations’ imperialist mentality.
He didn't starve India out of malice. He need munitions for the war effort and so diverted all food towards British and allied troops. If not, those troops would have died of malnutrition or killed whilst fatigued. Almost every major army general in history has had to make a similar decision. Today's youth only think it was an outrage because it was a white person who did it. Todays youth are alarmingly conformist. Look at India's population boom since the British ruled. They had too many children as they were given means of medicine and an endless supply of food by the British infrastructure. They were gluttonous and like every other gluttonous people (including the British post world war 2), they eventually have to pay the price because life is never a straight line. @@jamesnga2705

my respects to you my friend and your honorable great uncle take care from murphy an irishman who remembers with what great respect my late father admired this great man
That is wonderful.Thank you for sharing this.Florida,USA,Vietnam disabled veteran here.God bless and Merry Christmas!
Watching this an looking at what england now has become makes me cry true tears, Sorry Sir Winston Churchill for our ungreatfullness, as a patriot and true son of GREAT Britain, I thank you, my hero, my inspiration. My courage and will is fuelled by your great name. For queen and country!
I broke down in tears (cried all the way through) while writing this, to think our own 'Europeans' now call a great hero a 'racist', I call them Europeans because those who say this about any patriot is no Englishman.
I'm a Liberal and a socialist, thus I am a 'lefty'. Yet I care deeply about our wondrous nation. Which sadly in recent years has taken a turn for the worst. We have lost all we had, our people are disrespectful, rude, argumentative, have no sense of honour, it ti's a shame. Yet I still believe we can return honour and advancement unto our glorious nation. I am sad to say that I am appalled by the current state of Britain.
And you, sir. Are a perfect example of being jingoistic, don't be. You need to see that we aren't the only great nation, albeit there aren't many left. The language you just previously used to that gentleman, who additionally was using such tone, was disrespectful. We are part of Europe stop bloody making an argument over it we do need to work together but additionally the EU isn't doing as much for us as we are doing for it thus we have to reach a compromise. I lose more and more hope, I feel like we as a country and a species will not advance.
Every religion is inefficient and illogical, not just Islam. So how about you stop being a bigoted, disrespectful, dishonour to our populous and develop your intelligence.
SirPercival And you sir are a twat & im sorry I do not meet your expectations but if someone takes the piss out of my idol do you think im going to let him? I think not he is the disrespectful one & yes hitler did offer us peace he had a treaty with Denmark not to invade them & that was supposed to last ten years? Did it? I think not.
SirPercival No honour, no patriotism... Sickening.
I believe you should develop your intelligence, for you clearly lack it. What you socialists like to forget is that patriots fought and died for this country and your throwing the freedom they gave in the grave with them (RIP HEROES). Being in the EU IS our problem, the reason our people are living in split communities were we can't co-exist is because of that dreadful establishment, it's corrupt, it's treacherous, it's nationally destructive. The EU is a failure. It charges the UK £55.000.000 a DAY to stay in it so we can be bossed around and slowly get killed off by mass immigration and multiculturalism, of course the biggest threat is and always has been ISLAM, that religion should die and so should its followers. I want justice for all the pain, sorrow, death and fear it's caused.
What's the point, you left-wing arse holes are SCARED. You just want to follow until your destroyed because that's what'll happen, but we both fear this, but especially you. the Right-wing are the vigilant ones, the wise ones and yes, the STRONG ones. You socialists sit back and wait to be killed off and us right-wing will continue fighting until we win or lie dead in the dirt. either way this is mine and my fellow true Lionhearts country and we will never bend to the will of those who want to destroy it and our heritage! call me a fool, a racist, a fascist, bigot and all those other lefty fantasy words, but I'd rather be called them things than a coward who doesn't want to stand up for the true and righteous. To all that we true Lionhearts hold dear and holy, we vow to win or die trying.
The Patriot Respect from one patriot to another.
The Patriot
You don't know a sing one of my policies or what I believe, about what you are stating. I am a patriot, I believe we a brilliant nation. Everything we have achieved, is just eminence. And I agree, with your earlier statement how the people calling him a racist, are idiots. I have the utmost respect for the men who bravely gave their lives for the safety of this nations and others. My Great, Great Uncle gave his life on the 1st Defenece of Ypres while he died his brother survived. I do believe we should do something to combat the loss of our culture and heritage. But if you think picking out one group of persecuting them, then that just won't work, it is immoral. Quite frankly it is fascist.
You barely even know me and yet you grouped me with different people.I would die for my country, just not if it run in an oppressive manner. The establishment has had an ideology for hundreds of years, 'As soon as a man steps on to British soil, he is a free man' So no matter your background, no matter your ethnicity. For me I am okay if their are other ethnicity and religions just so long as it doesn't take away from our culture and they benefit our nation. I do find the EU to be benefiting more from us than we are of them.We need to create more unity within our nation, unite us under the Union Flag.
Additionally, you have made a good point.
But I don't believe will reach a compromise or agreement. So we should probably not waist our time on this any longer. For we do agree that there is a problem, except we have different ways of solving it. So let us enjoy this beautiful video.
"Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed, by so many, to so few"
I'm an American but I have a small bust of Winston on my desk right next to teddy Roosevelt and gen Patton. In my opinion Winston was one of the greatest men who have ever lived. He stood against an evil tide and rallied a nation behind him and in doing so the world followed. God bless him and keep him.
I read your thoughts and those of everyone on this chain. I appreciate that you not only give time out of your lives to honor history but that it is documented for others to see. Sadly, based on what I see in the workforce...the typical person under 30 has no idea of what is being discussed in this setting. Makes you wonder what in the world is being taught in schools. That aside, I simple ask that parents take up the banner. Step up and educate your children, do not rely fully on third partis who may not share your values.
20% of young people don't believe in the hollacast. They think it's been made up. Crazy!!
Hi Einar and I Am assuming you know that Winston was as American as he was British - by birth ( his mother ) and in his later life he held dual citizenship granted to him by the president
@@rc4016 history teacher here. Understand your concern for what's being taught in schools. Can promise that the history teachers I've encountered all across the country in my 11 years of teaching and study are the utmost professionals and have the best intentions at heart. We're trying. But it feels like we're fighting a tidal wave. Thanks
TR, Patton, and Churchill. You couldn't have picked better
Most of today's kids have absolutely no idea just how much they owe this man.
If it weren’t for Churchill we wouldn’t be speaking English. That man won the war.
@@weirdfoodcombos3249 he didn't, but hey ho. What does the truth matter.
@@danielbones3072 well he didn’t capture Berlin however he managed to defend and defeat the nazis but still without him Britain would surrender to the nazis and many People would been killed so think about that one
@@justanaverageyoutubeaccoun292 that's moving the goalposts. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. He was instrumental in galvanising the nation and by any standards a great man. But, flawed as we all are, and to assume he won the war would be shortsighted in the extreme.
@@justanaverageyoutubeaccoun292 Exactly. Us Brits obviously wouldnt have won without the massive help from the United States in the West. But Churchill stood his ground while we waited for the Americans and therefore Germany were unable to take a step on British soil. With his strength as a leader he saved Britain and many British lives from being lost by carrying on the fight to prevent any German invasion
It’s a disgrace that anyone could even think about vandalising his memorial
They sounded Drake's Drum and Winston answered the call.
Served in three wars.
Won a Nobel Prize for literature.
And served and loved his country in an exemplary manner.
Fidelity,sacrifice and the belief of good overcoming evil.
yeah after he had lead the allies to victory and this is how he gets treated
The people who do it wanted Hitler, I guess. Its difficult to know how their minds work.
Well. When you learn what he beleived about race and empire realise vandalising his statue wasn't all that bad after all.
@@gerardcollins80 wet wipe. If it weren't for him they'd you wouldn't be living so privileged as you are.
Whoever thought up to have cranes do "a bow" was an absolute genius. Such a powerful moment

Nancy Astor - “ If I was married to you, I would put poison in your coffee
Winston Churchill - “ If I was married to you I would drink it “.
Paul Christopher
I love that classic comeback. It's a favorite of mine!
mBabe she was one of his main political rivals
Astor:
If I were your wife I'd put poison in your tea.
Churchill:
If I were your husband I'd drink it.*
It was tea not coffee
My other favorite Churchill comeback is when a MP shouted, “Rote” and Churchill simply said, “I thank the honorable gentleman for telling us all what is in his head.”
And then in June 2020 the statue of Churchill was defaced and the Cenotaph set ablaze by foreign communist thugs while the London police stood by and did nothing. I weep for our nation.
The silent majority in the form of some honourable young men have removed the graffiti, not to mention the brave bootneck that tore down insulting signs whilst surrounded by hundreds of ‘protestors’
People nowadays including me know no amounts of bravery the soldiers went through at this time, churchill's speech echoes through history and people will try out him down but when it mattered he was there to rally us
They were not foreigners, they were white British people. And no big deal, it has been cleaned off, why make an issue of it? Defacation of great monuments is part of history too.
@@thevitruvianman9781 so is the violent response which I fear is coming. When the minority strike back it leaves a lasting impression
You're not alone. There have been protests here in the U.S. also. Some have been peaceful, but a lot have been violent, and there have been reports of looters breaking into locked stores, and taking off with wide screen TVs, expensive electronic equipment, etc. and the police just stood there and watched and did nothing. Or were dispatched when it was too late, and the looters had escaped. Innocent people who had nothing to do with the death of Mr. Floyd have been assaulted, and their property looted and burned. In a lot of cities, the police actually knelt in front of the protesters, to show solidarity. In our town, the chief of police marched with the protesters in a downtown rally. It was a peaceful protest, but still, it disturbed me greatly. I always thought that police were supposed to be impartial, no matter what their personal views on the subject. To me, it signifies a subtle sign to protesters from the police that the protesters can do whatever they want, without police interference. Historic statues and monuments and buildings have been defaced, pulled down, and arson was used to attempt to burn down a historic building. (didn't work). Whether in your country or the U.S., defacing monuments and destroying old statues will not change history. I don't understand the rioter's logic when they do that. Political correctness will be the death of civilized nations, and appeasing bullies NEVER works. (Think of Adolf Hitler). They just want more and more. The only thing that works with bullies is when you have to get mean & hateful with them. That's the only thing they understand, brute force. If we could resurrect General Patton, he would know how to deal with these thugs, since the police can't/won't. I weep for my country, also.
Rest in Peace to Her Majesty the Queen of England, best wishes to her family, from San Francisco, California.

I'm French, my grandfather was a resistant in Auvergne, he was captured then freed by British paras and was finally injured in Germany just before the end of the war. He fought with the British from the beginning till the end.
I remember when i was a kid, he had two pictures in his home. Charles De Gaulle's one, and Sir Winston Churchill one.
Respect éternel de France, les vrais Français ne vous oubliront jamais Sir Winston Churchill !
Rest in peace. Greetings to my British friends ! Stay strong !
Much respect to you my French friend. It is comments like this that would make Churchill proud. We all gave much in that war, even the people of Germany who were oppressed by a tyrant, but thanks to Churchill we can live to speak without fear. All of us, Whether we be French, British, or German. We are all free people now.
We must all make sure the sacrifices of your grandfather and mine (my grandfather watched his friend die during WWII and never forgot its horrors) are never forgotten. No matter what our politicians squabble over and pick at, we, as the people of the world, but stand together.

He also allowed the Soviet Union to invade Poland and Finland in 1939 without answering. The English also destroyed the Boers and used concentration camps for it! Here are a few official websites.

@@ALEXANDER1318 Ya, but the British love getting into fights they'll lose until/unless the US reverses it. Churchill may have wanted to, as did Patton, and we probably should have. Would have saved a lot of neo-marxist caused death from war and purging. Problem is, the American people weren't even that happy to be fighting Germany and Italy. They wanted Japan. What really should have happened, the 'allies,' another war reversed and won by the US, should have made damn sure the White Russians won in 1919. It would have been soooo easy then.
voted the greatest Briton ever. In my humble opinion Winston Churchill is one of the greatest men in history
You would be right. In the circles I move among, Sir Winston is considered the greatest statement of the 20th century. (And I am American)
+olentangy74 I meant statesmen.
He is indeed
: )
+AussieReb It is good to see you can hold a very balanced opinion
One of the greatest statesmen who ever lived , if not the greatest. England owes everything to Churchhill …
He made England Islamic.
As an American I’m not sure if there ever was a more powerful and better leader. FDR had his moments, but Churchill’s resolve and courage is simply unmatchable.
Depends what you mean by leader I guess. As a wartime leader, Churchill was almost unequalled. However, his history of leadership in peacetime is far less perfect and he is outshone but his successor as prime minister, Clement Attlee and by others such as President F. D. Roosevelt.
Ronald Reagan
Indeed. For me, the fact that he, failed [to put it likely] at Gallipoli, and so, quit his position as Lord of the Admiralty to fight in the trenches of the First World War rings even louder than his leadership in WWII. Imagine a modern politician messing up so badly, and owning it in such a way.
Thank you.
He was not a good leader lmao, half his wartime decisions led to major famines and global food shortages
And yet those savages at Parliament Square dare to deface his statue. He was not perfect, but he was no monster. He was the hero who stood up for his nation. Hail to the heroes of old.
God save the Queen.

One of the most beautiful pieces of patriotic British music
It should be our national anthem.
It is from Gustave Holst's "The Planets," Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity. One of my favorate pieces.
Look at the quiet dignity of the crowd from 1:20. That's old school Britain. Silent and strong.
And well-mannered, and respectful, and showing some GRATITUDE. If Germany had won WW2, today's whiny snowflakes would be complaining about that, too. They would be saying, "If Mr. Churchill had done his job all those years ago, we'd be a free country now! But, nooooo, he just left us to the wolves!" There's just no pleasing some people. If there is nothing to complain about, they will find something to complain about. Public horse-whippings should be brought back, especially for those who loot, riot, and deface national monuments. Nothing like old-fashioned public humiliation for an attitude adjustment.

I'm 63, live in the USA and I recall Winston's funeral clearly. I was nine years old. Why? Because his funeral was televised on all three TV networks on a Saturday morning, killing my cartoon viewings on granny's black and white TV. I was so angered. But now reflecting back and discovering my rich British heritage ancestry, I'm so happy, thanks to this video posting, to relive that Saturday morning. This is very moving!!!
Good Lad!
The Passing of Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill occurred on a Sunday, January 24,1965. I personally do not recall a single instance of any of the Major Networks(NBC, CBS, ABC)(It should be made clearer however that the BBC and I'am certain there even others that may have broadcast the event, however, I do not recall the funeral covering the actual funeral procession being broadcast. I was born and raised in the City of New York, I was in 10th grade in High School. It must be further stated that such an event as we are witnessed here lasted for some 6 days(A card placed on a Wreath which was so placed on the grave of Winston Churchill read "From the nation and commonwealth in grateful remembrance" Elizabeth R ). Winston Churchill lay in state with the entire period of observance with the Funeral Procession and subsequent burial occurring on the 6th day, a Saturday.
It is unfortunate however I'am not able to place the claim made by you that all three major networks, again I'am assuming your reference to all three major networks are in fact NBC, CBS, ABC are in fact the three major networks that you are referring too and as well is the greater New York City area the location of that viewing occurring on Saturday morning Jan.30,1965. This is merely an attempt to clarify your statement.
I was a bit perplexed with your comment when you Donald Reeves said, "I was so angered", really? I would like to know can you name the cartoons that most got your attention on any particular Saturday, including the day the former Prime Minister Winston Churchill was to be buried. Some detail would prove particularly useful, what say you "Donald Reeves".
I think if you had imparted to any who may have read your comment what this rich British Heritage Ancestry was in fact there would be something all might learn from. The comment as is, is without a truth or even a cause by which the reader of your comment may indeed learn something perhaps anything at all about as you say your rich British Heritage Ancestry. I personally do not know what in fact you are referring to or what you are talking about. Do You Donald Reaves know much of anything about Prime Minister Churchill, if that be the case then let us know otherwise why in the deuce are you here? The Event which the British press coined the term "Atlantic Charter" was a first meeting between the then President of The United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt and The Prime Minister of the Commonwealth Winston Churchill. The meeting occurred on two amazing ships with one of the two ships being The Prince of Wales, a King George the Fifth Class Battleship(KG5). There is very excellent information about this meeting with the Prime Minister's own words making for a shared fellowship one morning on the Deck of The Prince of Wales. Officers and many High Ranking officials from both countries sang and sang I might remind everyone here, that the hymnals of the Church of England are one of the greatest concentration of magnificent verse as any musical literature. It is this opinion that has it, that the Church of England should stand front and center as one of the greatest repositories of wealth, untold wealth at that. I wish you could listen to Winston Churchill speak of those moments when there was a shared fellowship aboard the Prince of Wales somewhere in the North Atlantic.This is about your Heritage Donald Reaves, you should know it well.
My name is Mohamed From Egypt. I am 20 years old. I am a young man. I did not know who Mr. Winston Churchill was, nor had I read about him. One time I heard his name in front of me, so I searched for it and read about it. He's not a human. He is an angel sent by God to earth. I wished to be present during his reign and the reign of the late Queen, my grandmother Elizabeth, may God have mercy on them, until we meet soon.

One of the giants of history. Army officer, Lord of the Admiralty, scholar, outstanding author/writer, philosopher, painter, politician(despite the fact that he was voted out after the war by a nation craving near-socialism), prime minister, and leader of a nation at a time of existential national danger. Few men in history could boast of this resume'. Based on the outpouring of love and respect seen in this video, one can safely say that the world will not see his like again.

Churchill is a name synonymous with the fabric of our Great Britain. Winston Churchill was a man who can't ever be forgotten and it is our duty as Englishmen and women to carry on his lessons of character, grit and spirit so that we can hold onto what is dear to us in this world.
Just as a solemn lonely church sits alone upon a hill, concealed by a misty English weather - our patriotism shall never leave no matter how distant or far away it seems. Always there, in the background silently observing and waiting for us return and climb the hill upon which our morals and standards are held.
Fellow Brits remember these words and uphold British values in all that you do, for with every generation must come people that hold onto tradition and the future of the civilization that brought us forth in the present.

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen” - Sir Winston Churchill
Does it also take courage to lead bombing campaigns specifically on women and children at the end of a war?
Cowboy Scouser Cowboy Scouser war should be soldiers fighting each other, not bombing women or children. There’s absolutely no honour in that and it’s especially immoral when they’re already heavily losing. The bombings weren’t even of industrial targets, it was clearly a war crime against women and children and in no part legal.

They knew there would be collateral damage but it was worth it to win the war.unlike the Nazis the allied bombings was purely to help the war effort.

Piggy sew let’s just keep a few things in mind. 1. Churchill continued war on Germany over Poland, and was bombing Germany for months before there was bombs returned, and sided with a far more brutal communist regime which then crushed Poland sovereignty after the war which meant Churchill essentially had no intention to carry out his original goal. 2. He ignored the fact the USSR also invaded multiple countries before Germany did and also invaded Poland at roughly the same time as Germany. Churchill also ignored the fact Ethnic Germans were being murdered by Jews in Poland which was originally German to begin with, even after Hitler requested more international support they never done anything. History is indeed written by the victors and always will be, not everything is so black and white when you look at it from a non biased perspective

To vandalize and cause destruction in the name of trying to create unity and peace seems a bit odd to me. I don't think anything good will come from trying to vandalize statues of Churchill. If anything it will only serve to divide people.
Balls of steel. Nerves of steel. An unbreakable will and determination. Must NEVER be forgotten.
Ahh😪
People forget that Sir Winston fought in the Boer War, and after the British Minister of the Army allowed the Gallipoli Campaign to fail with flip flopping of the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George over the Campaign, Sir Winston resigned from Parliament having started the development of the Tank (Not quite the A1 Abrahams, or the Challenger) and reenlisted in the Fusiliers and was sent to France and the Western Front, then there was the Brothers of Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon, who were both killed in Action in France during WW1 (Queen Elizabeth the Queen Consort to King George VI) Prince Bertie, Duke of York as King George VI was known who served as a Lieutenant abroad a Battleship at the Battle of Jutland during WW1 and Lord Louie Mountbatten was a Midshipman abroad a Destroyer in the English Channel and the Mediterranean around the same time, Prince Philip served in WW2 as Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander in Command of a Destroyer in the Mediterranean too, with the deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth it marks the end of the Greatest Generation of those who Fought in WW2
Marvellous man.....He'll never, ever be forgotten.....
A time in history when i was proud to be an Englishman.🏴
This music gets me every time …. Look at the respect of both young and old. Our world today is so lost with a generation of disrespect and selfishness.
I watched as they took him home up the River. My eyes teared up when President/General Eisenhower said, as they rounded the bend away from camera view, "Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye."
Weeping now
Eisenhower and Churchill were very close, they remained friends even when they disagreed on military/political tactics
I was already tearful this pushed me over the edge.
@@conorjamesmahoney5941 same.
Thought US pres didn't go
Extraordinary man, Britain was literally on the verge of defeat, and he (with the help of our Allies) turned the war around.
The best leader we’ve ever had.Made mistakes in younger life but stoic to the end
Who doesn't though, after all he was human like the rest of us. Who has never made a mistake,ever?
One of the greatest men ever to live.

The greatest Anglo-Saxon ever
He the worst just like hitller

What has he done to india????
From across the pond, this American salutes Sir Winston Churchill. God bless the United Kingdom.
thecaptain134 thank you !
I was living in Johannesburg at the time Winston Churchill died. Every day, a cartoonist called Bob Connolly used to post a satirical, political cartoon in the Daily Mail newspaper, always with a little dumpy, round-bellied man somewhere in the picture. I never saw Bob Connolly personally, but I heard that he looked just like the little man in his cartoons - a self-prortrait pastiche. On the occasion of the death of Winston Churchill, he excelled himself with a cartoon that simply depicted an ash tray with a dead cigar in it, and the little figure of Connolly standing to one side, head bowed.
He was man who's policies perished 4 million.
@@abhishektandon8373 When a country is at war, it is usually their policy to fight that war.
@@abhishektandon8373 what a stupid comment.
@@yesitsjohnboy obviously, you will say that cuz people of your nation didn't starved of Hunger , 4 million starved in bengal after churchill refused to send aid to India rather exported more food from India to create a buffer stock in Europe in fear of a new war.
When British officials in India wrote letters to him about the condition, he wrote on the margin *why hasnt gandhi died yet*
@@DownhillAllTheWay I am talking about the great bengal famine or rather say *British holocaust of India* . There are various articles about this statement .
About 1.8 billion excess deaths , money worth 45 Trillion $s were extracted from India during the *darkest hours of the dark colonial history of the Indian subcontinent*
Churchill was a type of man seen only once an era. We will never forget our debt to this man.
Queen is now with him together again
Yes, they are. Hand in had.
Who else is here after them bastards vandalised his statue 😢😢😢
Me. When he died, I wasn't born yet, but I have read books and seen movies about WW2, and that era was insane! Mr. Churchill wasn't perfect, but he was part of the war effort that helped Britain and the Allies win WW2. Don't those guttersnipes have more important things to do? Like work, support a family, go to school to better themselves or work with underprivileged children? No, I guess not. Then they wouldn't have the time to cause all that trouble.
That Vandalism was a disgusting national scandal
yes bastards. this video bought a tear x
K90_ 2019 good
@K90_ 2019 Lol, you cant even debate properly you are so dismissive of other people's rebuttals, you cant even back up your claims, which the bengal famine was caused by 3 main factors, a flood in the region which caused crop loss, loss of rice imports from Burma since the Japanese occupied it and the scorched earth tactic used by retreating British soldiers whenever the Japanese gained territory.
