Almost Nazi

Think of it, a Europe completely under the control of Hitler: brutality, racism, war machine. All Europe's resources belong to his Nazi regime including their wealth, their churches, their farms and industry, their art. All of this came horrifically close to happening.

Brits were dying in battle and much of Europe was already under Hitler's thumb when Winston Churchill became Prime Minister of Britain in May of 1940. Within his own government he was pressured to give up the fight. Just days after he was installed in his new position of responsibility, he made a world-changing decision. That is the plot of "Darkest Hour."
