        The first face to face meeting of the two leaders..Churchill wants FDR to join the war effort outright but FDR is noncommittal..a few months later,on December 7th everything changes and the rest is history...

        Hate to embarrass myself by asking, but why was Churchill in uniform?

        Possibly because he was First Lord of the Admiralty during the early years of WWII.

        "Hitler didn't snub me; it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram."~J. Owens, ~150 years after "..were created.." Churchill knew: "History is written by the victors." FDR's attitude to "those" who are not "us"?https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/us-government-turned-away-thousands-jewish-refugees-fearing-they-were-nazi-spies-180957324/ …

        Could this—would this even happen today? It was essential to the safety of the world & the protection of democracy.

        Man, lots of news stuff happened between, say, 1939 and 1945. Was something going on?
