mmmm what should I say about the first one

maybe that he's wrong
for example:
saying Churchill wanted to fight Hitler, well Winston had nothing to say, he wasn't the Prime-Minister, Chamberlain was.

Or saying that no lesson can be learned, saying that Germany was absolutely superior, they weren't, both the British and French armies were not worse, the German plans were better. If you lose the Battle of Britain, are you superior? not really, maybe that columnist should look better into his sources
