What are the advantages and disadvantages Churchill see facing the British war effort? How convincing do you find his assessment of the situation, and why?
Churchill sees as disadvantages facing the British war effort: the British troops were not as large as Hitler in numbers and after the battle in France, the British army "lost many machines on the ground" and part of the army still fighting in France. He also acknowledged “the German bomber force is superior in numbers” to those of British force. However, the British have "rifles, munitions, a powerful air force, a great mass of stores, and a very large bomber force."
Churchill's assessment is strong and persuasive as he did not only point out the advantages and disadvantages that the British had to face but also the possible developments in the upcoming war with Hitler. "There may be raids by parachute" and "the danger of bombing attacks." England still had a chance of winning because it also had advantages of its allies. Churchill mentioned that if German win the war against Hitler the whole Europe would win and be free, but if it lost, the result would be catastrophic for the whole world. This assessment is very convincing for many countries to join British for the cause of all
