With Europe overrun by Hitlerâs thundering war machine, Churchill is the only head of state with the courage to stand up to the FuĚhrer. The British Prime Ministerâs iron will makes him a role model in Great Britain and across the continent. Churchill and his V-sign become a symbol of resistance against Nazi Germany. In Germany in February 1942, armaments minister Albert Speer has the job of making sure that thereâs a steady supply of prisoners of war to man the plants and factories âat the same time as the SS are on a killing spree. But Speer isnât saving prisonersâ lives: men, women and children are worked to death producing weapons for the German army. Churchill was a true hero, and Speer, a nasty villain â or were they? Churchill had racist views, while Speer defied Hitler at risk to his own life and saved Germanyâs infrastructure. This issue gets up close to World War IIâs greatest personalities.
