“The Hun is either at your throat or at your feet’’.

So said Winston Churchill before a Joint Session of Congress on May , 19th. 1943.

Whether or not this is his actual quote or not he did say it.

Sorry, but Churchill’s words show two things:
a) he was truly a master of the succinct, and
b) he hated the German people all his life. No way around it.

I guess he would be delighted if he saw Germany now: on its last legs and overrun by enemies, after having lost one third of her territory and between 6 and 7 million of her people.

However, I have a hunch he would be none too pleased with the situation in present-day Britain (or the USA, for that matter).
But that’s the one thing he and I could whole-heartedly agree on. Indeed.
Furthermore, the problems both the US and Britain are faced with show many similarities to the situation in Germany (and many other Western nations).

Clearly, they are not as deep in the morass, but maybe just for now - I am not too optimistic a person :-(

It is almost exactly as you put it.
