Churchill - The Gathering Storm, Part 7

People like Stanley Baldwin (then Prime Minister) completely disagree with Churchill's concerns about Germany, but other individuals begin to slowly come around to Winston's point of view. 

At the same time, however, Ralph Wigram - the individual who is supplying Churchill with facts and figures about Hitler's rearmament - comes under suspicion.  His wife is advised that if Wigram doesn't end his close association with Churchill, he will lose his foreign-office position.

Not everyone agrees with Churchill's analysis of events leading up to the war.  See, for example, this article by Professor John Charmley.
