In the final episode of the series, Gary and Spencer examine Churchill’s leadership from the Blitz to 1945, assessing his wartime strategy across multiple fronts. They discuss his Mediterranean focus, from the failed Greek campaign (1941) to the humiliating fall of Tobruk (1942), his controversial replacement of Auchinleck with Montgomery, and Britain’s later role in Italy, Yugoslavia, and the Greek Civil War. The episode also covers the war against Japan, including the loss of HMS Prince of Wales and Repulse, the fall of Singapore, and the challenges of the Burma campaign. The hosts delve into Britain’s strategic bombing campaign, Commando raids, and the Battle of the Atlantic, before turning to Churchill’s uneasy relationship with Stalin and the fraught negotiations over the Second Front. They conclude by exploring why Churchill lost the 1945 election, despite his central role in Britain’s victory.
