To say if not because of him there would be statues of Hitler is just a bit hyperbolic, yes. Thanks for admitting he was flawed, a lot of people in the comments seem to forget the pain he has caused the world since The War. He also gleefully used the military to stop protests in his own country. Then again, protests aren't protected speech there. Saying all heroes are flawed is a very comic book view of the world. I imagine David Attenborough would be hard to find any little dirt on plus it is obvious he doesn't have a racist bone in his body, unlike Churchill. Is Churchill completely unredeemable with his flaws though, that is the question. I would imagine if you were Indian after The War I would imagine he isn't thought of as highly. He also didn't want Britain to have to social welfare programmes they instituted after The War and still enjoy to this day! Which I must say was a heroic thing to do. While Britain was battered and broke from spending their wealth on war and while still rationing basic food and supplies they accomplished such a difficult task. In complete contrast to America, the country that had more food, more money and was not even really damaged had no desire to aid its populace and actually implemented laws to keep selected groups from accessing the benefits of the new culture and returned the oppressed peoples that served back to their oppressed state. Then again, to call people you simply don't agree with "ungrateful miscreants" (probably want to use more undesirable terms) shows that you do not even wish to understand and place a thing over actual people. Statues are inanimate objects but when people worship a statue so much they hate the people that don't worship the lump of metal are worse than the miscreants they hate. It also doesn't matter one iota what your parents did, it isn't you. Seems like they were good people, would they like it that you hate people because they don't like the lump of metal you worship? I also know what your generation was like when people started coming in from the colonies, they weren't welcomed as they thought they might, going to the centre of their Empire. One last thing, were the Nazis known for using the guillotine? I never heard that. It would be quicker than being strung up until you suffocated or choking for several minutes on cyanide gas.

I always had a negative view on Winston, mainly for the role he was involved in during the fiasco of the Dardenals in WW1. I have since changed this view after watching many films on the man. We all have to learn lessons in life and I feel that the Gallipoli debarcle was one of Winston's big lessons. If it wasn't for mistakes like that I doubt Winston would have been the man he became and in doing so gained my appreciation at his willingness to stick it to the axis as often as he did. Bravo Winston and you have earned your place in the pages of history.

This documentary is outstanding. Never took a deep interest in Churchill until recent passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Her unlikely friendship with Churchill has ignited my curiosity to look closely into this great leader’s life stories in which I wish I could have done so earlier. Now, I cannot get enough of his courageous and profound speeches and quotes.

The Ukraine too faces similar or worse ravages than did Britain in WW2. God save us from another world war.

I agree as each newscast relates more and more Russian atrocities revealed. One can only pray they haven't destroyed All the beautiful historic buildings of Kiev. The drones have destroyed Almost all of the power grid and now they are threatening to destroy a dam. Do they mean the radioactive lake at aChornobyl??? To flood some of the most productive grain growing farm land in the world???

God bless him! A man of many faults which we all have. He rallied a nation and was a hero to his country! Such a complex and brilliant man. He met his destiny and succeeded, with the help of his cousins.

Terrific documentary. I've watched many good Churchill biographies during the war, none is as comprehensive as this one. Thank you.

Beautiful and powerful and must never be forgotten.

Churchill's speech is still moving so many years later. A true statesman.

Excellent doc., brought me to tears a few times. I wish the MAGA set would watch this to understand why it’s so important to defeat Putin in Ukraine.

Brilliant, inspiring. Thank you to great hero’s. Now so much significant that Ukraine is going through same injustice. Glory to Ukraine

This is very good. I’ve seen other documentaries that were more focused strictly on Churchill that were equally good. This one is broader in scope and really shows much more about the people & events.

Which documentary were YOU watching? Have KZread fans no critical faculty left that enables them to distinguish hack jobs like this from genuine historical productions? The inability to tell the difference between the works of honorable professionals and those created by cynical opportunists, created at next to no cost and containing nothing we haven't seen before, to me illustrates what is behind our political crisis. People seem unable to distinguish between honorable reporting and hack jobs by opportunists whose sole motivation is advertising revenue.

Really fine show. I thought I knew most everything there was to know about Churchill, but I didn't know of his support for a Jewish homeland. Just one more thing to love about him.

Yes, this was news to me as well. It was omitted from The Darkest Hour as well. Seems to be a touchy subject these days unfortunately.

Many Thanks Sir Winston Churchill!! We Owe You Our Present & Future!! ❤

Terrific -- Sacramento Salutes you --Bravo!!!

Thank you for this film. I didn't realize how Churchill was such a great leader as he was. I thank God for raising up such a great leader at this time in history. We sure need a leader like him today.

Our country is now more than ever in need of a leader of the moral fibre,courage and patriotism of W.S.Churchill, yet we all know there will never ever be another Winston Churchill, but perhaps some politician will take a leaf out of Mr Churchill’s book and go some way in bringing Britain back from the abyss that’s its ethnic people are sliding into before its to late 🇬🇧

Yes , tears at this brilliant documentary. Born in Cardiff, I can remember at 4 years old sitting in our shelter at home, and carrying a gas mask to infant school. I now live in Israel .My husband knew Ben Gurion and I met Giolda Meir ,both prime ministers of Israel Meier. They both were leaders who admired the one and only Churchill.

Churchill was a man of his time, warts and all. But he was also the savior not only of his nation, but of western civilization. We owe him everything.

Many do not seem to realize it but Western Civilization is again threatened by Fascism and Extremism by forces both domestic and foreign.

Simply the greatest Briton ever

One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Thank you. 🇺🇸

Yes. And all that we Britons treasure, glory in and take pride in is dissolving before our eyes.

My mum took me to Chartwell in 1971.Chartwell is in Westerham Kent also home of Caterham Cars.I saw Winston's art work,his personal items including one of his cigars.I and blown away.He was one if not the best Englishman ever.

It was ONE of OUR finest hours !

This is a very well done documentary. Churchill is one of my favorite people to ever live.

This historic video should be inwardly noted and with historic eyes and gratitude - man kind !!!!!

There will always be a special bond between the British people and the American people.

I always loved his "What kind of people do they think we are?" speech. I could practically recite it from memory and "teach them a lesson they and the world shall never forget." I have used his words to perfectly describe Russia, "A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." Did I remember that in the right order? I was 10 years old when Sir Winston spoke at that US college in Missouri I think it was. That was where he coined the term, "Iron Curtain." He did such a remarkable job during WWII that when he seemed to fall out of favor with the British I was thoroughly confused. He most certainly had a thorough knowledge of the English language. He phrased his words so beautifully. Definitely one of my favorite world leaders of all time.

Thank you for posting this. A magnificent documentary.

Excellent documentary. Documentaries that don't have talking heads are the best.

Was feeling so despondent with the state of the things, listened to this incredible documentary and now feel on top of the world! Churchill's speeches and actions reach across time and space to uplift people no matter what the situation! I adore Sir Winston, imperfect, brave, unusual, loyal and motivated by love of country! ❤🇬🇧⚘️ Thank you for this BRILLIANT documentary 👏🏽

Awesome documentary. Thank you

I started to ball to my heart pounding with pride for all the brave people

Listening to the radio addresses of this great man always stir something deep inside me. A pride that is buried deep inside my very DNA. The people from that rather small island have done more for the world than any other nation in history. All of the world’s democracies owe their existence to them. Think about the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, all of Europe, India and more. This man, Sir Winston, wasn’t just a giant among men he was the biggest giant among other giants.

Churchill deserted to WW2 Pacific theatre.

In college I was lucky to have a first rate composition teacher. We spent hours looking/ reading sentences, paragraphs looking for the perfectly written. Finally I found one, in a book by siir winston Churchill " the History of the English Speaking People....Read it!

OMG. Amazing people! The Greatest Generation🥲 Thank you!

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!

Magnificent documentary. Thank you.

Does it seem strange to anyone else how at one point in time there were probably the greatest two leaders of any two Nations. And they both were on the same path and that path led to greatness. Even both of them being in the later stages of their life Roosevelt much later in his life but Churchill wasn't exactly young at that point either

GOD BLESS ISRAEL and people of good will. Thank you Sir Winston Churchill. What beautiful surname

What a man.What a story.

I’ve always been a fan of Winston Churchill.

Wonderful documentary. Makes me proud to be a Londoner knowing members of my family fought for freedom in WWII and many survived the Blitz. BUT what a legacy we have in WINSTON CHURCHILL:. THANK GOD ALMIGHTY!

Gotta respect a country that stays home and defends their homeland.

On the opening day of the battle of Britain, the Italian air force, in accord with its axis allies, seeking to bomb the southeastern most island base of English defenses, got lost in the fog and instead bombed a French island captured by the Germans and turned into a military stronghold. On hearing this, Churchill replied, "Thank God for the Italians!"

My high school world history teacher was from Germany. She always made fun of the Italian armed forces. (Even though I was Jewish, she loved me because I was so interested in the subject.)

So much to learn from this time in history and from such a leader!

The Greatest Man of the twentieth century without question

God bless them all...

Wow! Absolutely stunning!

Churchill has played a mayor role in saving Great Britain and Europe from destruction. What a great leader he was! Quality documentary!
