My King&Country Adolf's Are Growing ! (1 Viewer)

[Jack]

"Not my area really but was there also a sense that the working class Brits had fought two very costly wars and wanted the Victorian world that Churchill represented swept away once and for all? No reflection on Churchill intended, for he is rightly considered as one of the towering figures of history."

Possible 'thread-jack' but indeed, was there a greater 'Briton' in history??

Unlikely given that he might well be considered, with Roosevelt, as one of the two great figures of the 20th century from any country. This is predicated on the assumption that people equally as influential such as Hitler and Stalin are discounted. If I can thread jack your thread jacking, if there was no Hitler, there would have been a much less important Churchill. Without an opponent one's opportunities for greatness are limited. If Hitler was a product of circumstance, rather than a shaper of events, was Churchill equally a product of his time, or did he impose his will on events?

K&C sure have made a lot of Adolf figures - not forgetting the WW1 Corporal Hitler version. I only have the one myself but i've collected many of the other personality figures - baddies and goodies. By the way PA, where did you find your backdrop image? I'm looking for something like this for a dio display, cheers. Carlin.

So true, without The Joker, Batman would have just been a less colourful Spiderman.

Think you hit the nail on the head Jack, Hitler in an indirect way probably made Churchill popular with the British public because they could see a strong leader that could stand up and take on Hitler. Unfortunately for Churchill he was only seen as a good wartime leader and the public no longer wanted him after the war ended.

Sorry PA, back to your Hitler’s now mate.
