The thing going through my mind was no one but Churchill seemed to be responsible for the War. One would think that there would be someone like Marshall or King or Hulsey who could be responsible on the British side.

Churchill was not running the war by himself. The war was actually run by the War Cabinet, a smaller, streamlined Cabinet where each member had important administrative responsibilities and which met virtually daily. If you visit the underground bunker in central London you will see the Cabinet War Rooms at the heart of the complex.

Field Marshal Alan Brooke was Chief of the Imperial General Staff and ran military matters. Of course, the Army, Navy and Air Force had their own command and administrative structures.
