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

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.
