And? Still gets my vote, albeit not on this poll. A man of his time who led Britain to victory rather than appeasement.
He gets more respect for me than Bose ever would. Or even Hitler on here
Many Historians claim Churchill could have avoided ww2 if he had chosen?

Book Review - Betrayal at Pearl Harbor: How Churchill Lured Roosevelt into World War II
The Rome-Berlin Axis, signed by Mussolini and Hitler in 1936, saw both leaders agree to wage a war against the Russian 'Bolshevik Enemy' in 1943, the date in which Italian troops were predicted to be in the military state to fight a war.
Between September 1939 and December 1941, Great Britain had been fighting the armed might of Nazi Germany almost singlehandedly. In the first half of 1940, Western Europe, including France, had been overrun by the Germans. In the first half of 1941, German forces, advancing through the Italian colony of Libya, were threatening the British Army guarding the Suez Canal in Egypt. After June 1941, the Soviet Union was in the war against the Nazis; and by December 5, the German Army was only five miles from the Kremlin in Moscow.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill knew, from British intelligence, that Hitler had given up on his invasion plans for an amphibious assault on England. But he also knew that unless the United States came into the war, Great Britain would never be able to defeat Nazi Germany on its own. Either America came to the rescue or Britain would have to make a compromise peace with Germany. This Churchill was unwilling to do. America, Churchill had determined, had to be brought into the war.
