But they didn’t unman him.” Quite right. And let me add that a good executive -especially in time of war- has to be tough. Churchill understood that there could be no peace with a maniac like Hitler. Hitler had his V-weapons and if left alone he may have developed longer range jet bombers and the atomic bomb. No one can doubt that Hitler would have used his A-bomb. It was absolutely imperative that the Nazi regime be expunged and their war-making power destroyed. If you are in a life and death struggle as Britain was you have to win because as Churchill himself said, “without victory there is no survival.” There was a man who could look reality in the face. We could use a man like him today.
