You didn't say Churchill, Roosevelt & Stalin so let's not make out that Churchill alone stemmed the German tides. A prime minister does not command the troops, they do not fight on the front line, they don't come up with battle tactics. Let's not make out that the UK's success in WW2 was down to Churchill and not the sacrifices that people made to wrest victory from the Nazi's clutches.

It tires me so much that people equate WW2 = Churchill in order to deify him while downplaying the actual people who won the war.
