When you see what a disaster that was, England blundering into Europe and getting slaughtered, the loss of 168k men wounded, 170k killed, surrendering 70k, who were executed or in work camp on meager rations for 5 years, 70k tanks and other vehicles lost, many naval ships sunk, with German losses at 20k casualties and 200 tanks, and he somehow turns the fingerpointing into the spirit of a glorious retreat at Dunkirk, a rallying cry to prevent surrender. Then France gives up, telling Churchill they are nothing but a corpse, his country bombed nightly, shipping cut off by uboats...and he gets America to back them with a large part of our industrial might when England appeared completely helpless...what a leader.
