Not really. Lake Como wasn’t so war ravaged. General Alexander offered him the use of a villa, and the two spent happy days painting alongside each other. The local Italians gathered and cheered him–there were no expressions of disapproval. I suppose they thought he’d helped and a war that had never been very popular among them. And he needed the break, having just received “the order of the boot” by the voters in the July general election. His daughter Sarah accompanied him, and said it did him a world of good.

Of course, many people would LIKE to show Churchill as Pro-Mussolini as much as possible for political reasons. Andrew Roberts is right. The problem with conspiracy theorists is they specualate and go beyond the facts. Questionable documents are not facts.
