I said that without J STALIN, world war two would not have been won. Stalin was mentioned by me because he was determining COMMUNIST PARTY policy.the British communist party was following the Soviet communists party line,which is probably why Ewan macoll was AWOL during the first part of the war. I am sorry but I disagree I dont think the second world war would have been won by the allies without Stalin.having to fight on two fronts defeated Hitler,.Now Churchill had blood on his hands too at Sydney Sreet, and with the introduction of the Black AND tans in Ireland   but he was the man England needed at the time.Likewise Stalin and the Soviet Union. i Dont wish to discuss anything else about Stalin in public, so lets stick to Ewan Macoll I would prefer to remember him for the great songs that he wrote than for any feet of clay he may have had as a person.
