Talk:George VI of Britain

One of my favorite D-Day stories involves George. It seems Churchill had this bizarre notion that he needed to be on one of the warships in the Channel during the invasion. Ike was horrified by this. He and Churchill were good friends, but he couldn't change Churchill's mind. So Ike contacted George, who simply said: "Leave Winston to me." He then told Churchill something to the effect that since Churchill was going, the King just HAD to be there. Churchill was no in the same position Ike was, and backed off.

Seemed like a good light story for the 65th Anniversary of D-Day +1. TR 00:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
