Winston S. Churchill: The Watchman
There has probably never been a greater political watchman than Winston Churchill. His foresight saved the Western world from demise in World War ii. Yet today, the West scorns his message. The biggest tragedy of World War ii is that we didn’t learn from that shameful and near-fatal disaster.
Winston S. Churchill: The Watchman
In 1932, there were 2 million members in the Nazi Party. Of these, 400,000 men belonged to Adolf Hitler’s semi-military “storm troopers.” Three of the Nazis’ most strident demands were: 1) an end to the Versailles Treaty (which made the Germans pay for the damage they caused by starting World War i!); 2) rearmament (which had been forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles); 3) the removal of German Jews from all walks of German life.
This last demand should have alerted the world to where Germany’s rearmament would lead! Actually, there was really only one prominent leader alarmed by what was happening in Germany. He spoke out publicly against it. That man was Winston Churchill. He wanted to see Britain strengthen its weak military. Yet Britain’s foreign secretary, Sir John Simon, was working feverishly to get the British government to rapidly and comprehensively disarm! His appeal gained strong and enthusiastic support. Other members of Parliament were also working to achieve that goal.
Winston Churchill was a voice crying in the wilderness.
