Give an example of Churchill being bluntly honest with his audience about the might of the German army. Briefly discuss the intended effect in this honesty

Answer: Churchill warned his colleagues about the strength of the German army before the Second World War, but the government did not listen to him.

Explanation:

Winston Churchill was an English politician and army officer, distinguished for his role in leading Britain to victory as a Prime Minister during Second World War.

Even before the war, Churchill was aware of the strength of the German army. He warned people about this issue on multiple occasions.

As a Backbencher, Churchill told his colleagues that "Germany is arming - she is rapidly arming - and no one will stop her." He was aware that Germany is going to become a threat for the whole Europe. He insisted that, instead of focusing on domestic issues, the government must take the German question into consideration. Nobody listened to him back then, however.
