The WW1 Origins Of Hitler And Churchill | The Eagle and The Lion
May 10th, 1940: as Hitler launches his lightning war on Western Europe, Churchill is named Prime Minister of Great Britain.

For the next five years, these two men dedicate their lives to each other’s destruction, but their interlinked story began decades prior. Discover the origins of these two titans from their experiences in WW1, how that molded them during the interwar period, and how it ultimately led to their confrontation in WW2.
