it's funny how everybody thinks churchill was the secret prime minister of britain years before may 1940. in reality he had no power until september 1939, when he was put in charge of the navy. he only became prime minister after chamberlain mishandled the norway operation in 1940. before 1939 churchill was disliked and distrusted by most of his conservative colleagues, and wasn't allowed anywhere near the levers of power.
