Arguably the greatest leader of the war, Churchill was brought to power only after his repeatedly-ignored warnings of Nazi terrorism were finally borne out by The Third Reich's invasion of Poland in 1939. Chamberlain's appeasement of German annexation of The Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia in 1938 proved to be disastrous, giving Germany more time to marshal its forces for European aggression. "At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty - a post which he had earlier held from 1911 to 1915. In May, 1940, he became Prime Minister and Minister of Defence and remained in office until 1945. He took over the premiership again in the Conservative victory of 1951 and resigned in 1955...Queen Elizabeth II conferred on Churchill the dignity of Knighthood and invested him with the insignia of the Order of the Garter in 1953. Among the other countless honours and decorations he received, special mention should be made of the honorary citizenship of the United States which President Kennedy conferred on him in 1963." (Quoted in part from nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1953/churchill-bio.html) A Block of unusual historical significance.
