On Winston Churchill's Post-War Lies

He had to lie. a) Britain had just bankrupted itself while losing its entire empire and b) the stated purpose of the war, the liberation of Poland, had crashed and burned like nothing else in human history in that, not only did Poland become a slave state of the Soviet Union, so, too, did Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The fellow literally had to say that a) Hitler was the devil-incarnate and b) this same Hitler was an existential threat to the whole British empire BECAUSE, if the dude had told the truth (that Hitler had never once stated that he wanted to destroy the British empire and actually admired England, that Hitler had made numerous peace overtures to both Poland AND England; even consenting to withdraw from those parts of Poland and Czechoslovakia that weren't historically German and German speaking, and that it was England which started the bombing of civilians, not Germany), everyone would have concluded, rightfully, that 60 million people needlessly died from his drunken stupidity. And we couldn't have had that, now could we?
