Churchill lost the 1945 election because the war was won, and people knew they didn't need the bellicose old blighter any longer. They were tired of war, rationing, and the whole thing, and in the mood for a change. They were certainly NOT sending the message that it was wrong for the British to fight Hitler, and to suggest that they were is a completely specious argument concocted to defend an already weak position (in regards to the war in Iraq...a very different kind of war in just about every respect one could imagine).
