Who said the following in May of 1940? “I do not consider Hitler to be as bad as he is depicted. He is showing an ability that is amazing and he seems to be gaining his victories without much bloodshed.”

Based on the illustration I would say Winston Churchill, although depending on the exact date I would have thought Neville Chamberlain could have said it. Was it before or after 10 May?
We chose the “scissors beats paper” pic because we like it.
It’s not Churchill. It’s someone else that as it happens, Churchill was also not a big fan of.
In that case it was either Mussolini, Stalin or Lord Halifax, and I would say most likely Halifax.
No, none of those three either. It was someone else from the British Empire.
Someone whose reputation would likely be tarnished by this kind of judgement.
Given that Churchill didn’t have much trouble with Menzies but Mackenzie King was a constant problem, my guess is King.
Still not.
Think of places the British were more reluctant to leave.
That initially made me think of India but I doubt that Nehru or Gandhi cared. In May 1940 the British were perhaps reluctant to leave France and some military people there such as Montgomery who later had a big reputation but wasn’t Churchills favorite may have said that.
Nope. It WAS Gandhi.
He wasn’t necessarily the greatest judge of character.
