Churchill's politics were opportunism. Wars are good career enhancers and
his career needed some serious enhancing. He also hated Germany on
principle. You have to remember that Britannia was top dog. Germany wasn't
even a country to the latter part of the 19th century and were lagging in
behind in the industrial revolution. Like Japan, Korea, and now China, once
they got the bit in their teeth, they came on strong and were a principle
competitor. In seeking overseas colonies to provide raw materials and
markets, they were challenging Britain's rule of the world.

WWI was an attempt to set Germany back to the Dark Ages. When that didn't
work, Churchill wanted to try again. It's an overused term but Britain saw
Germany as an 'existential threat' to their bottom line.

A lot of folks were anti semitic but were horrified
by the holocost (misspelled, I know, too tired to
look it up) and changed their tune.

'Changed their tune' is the correct phrase. Do you think what goes on in
their mind changed when they learned more polite lyrics?
