In The Deputy, he buttonholed playgoers to blame Pope Pius XII for not having protested the murder of 6,000,000 Jews. In Soldiers, he is again peremptorily grabbing the audience's lapels to argue that Churchill connived at the murder of General Wladyslaw Sikorski, head of the Polish government in exile, in order to placate Stalin...
