Churchill called for hot seat for Hitler

What’s not to like about WInston Churchill, unless you were a Nazi or Communist/Socialist? He has been near the top of the Chief’s most admired historical figures. (Ooops! I remember the last time he was PM when the Chief was just a little squirt, so does that make ME historical? Forget it – we WON’t go THERE!)

Some newly declassified documents across the water show even more that he was a min of singularly sound instincts:

Winston Churchill, Britain’s wartime prime minister, planned to execute Adolf Hitler in the electric chair if the Nazi leader fell into Allied hands. Official documents declassified for the turn of the new year reveal that Churchill was opposed to Allied plans for war-crimes trials and wanted summarily to execute leading Nazi figures, including Hitler, whom he regarded as “the mainspring of evil” and a “gangster.”

We thereby would have avoided the exercise in ex post facto “law” that became known as the Nuremburg Trials, and the dangerous precedents it set for instant “international legalization” of whatever a dominant coalition decides is right. Leading to aborted systems like the so-called “International Court of Justice” which the moonbats would LOVE to use to go after US soldiers having the nerve to actually pull the trigger and kill the enemy.

On July 6, 1942, according to his notes, the prime minister said: “Contemplate [that] if Hitler falls into our hands, we shall certainly put him to death. Not a Sovereign who [could] be said to be in hands of Ministers, like Kaiser. This man is the mainspring of evil. Instrument — electric chair, for gangsters no doubt available on lend-lease.”

Sir Winston definitely has the right idea!
