Position:Home>History> Is it me or dose winston churchill look like a gangster?Question: Is it me or dose winston churchill look like a gangster!? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: That was the intention - the first American Tommy-Guns were arriving in UK - part of Lend Lease!. Thus Winston, an old soldier, wanted to try one out and be photographed holding one!. We were at war!. The most famous photograph of Winston is the one below!. It was taken in Canada soon after Winston had spoken to both houses of Congress!. The photographer, who's name I forget, snatched Winston's cigar from his mouth and throwing it to the floor said, "I do not allow smoking in my studio"!. Winston was just coming nicely to the boil when the photo was taken!. Naturally Winston was very pleased with it!. It showed what he called the Bulldog Breed!. http://www!.houseofwaterdancer!.com/images!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com He does!. Churchill was described as a gangster in German propaganda, they used this picture to illustrate the point!. He was I believe inspecting a unit of LDV (home guard) when it was taken!.

Robinson, Humphery Bogart, or James Cagney, all of whom played gangster tough guys!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I am not sure but i think that picture was taken at the siege of Sydney street in London , when two spies were cornered in a house!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I don't know if you look like a gangster, but Churchill to me, has always looked like a benign bulldog!.
