It's still a good example because as bad as Churchill was he was better than Hitler.

Was he, though? How many millions did he murder in the manmade Bengal famine?

I'm not denying Churchills crimes or painting him as good.

How many would Hitler have murdered if he had similar control over the region? Just look at General plan Ost...

There's a reason the USSR tried to ally with Churchill against Hitler before hostilities even started.
