为什么丘吉尔没有与希特勒达成和平协议，尽管希特勒曾多次试图这样做？
希特勒急于达成和平协议。他尊重英国人，对他的将军们制定的入侵计划从来没有任何信心。
丘吉尔对与纳粹的和平不抱幻想。他看到了与希特勒媾和的其他国家所发生的事情。奥地利、捷克斯洛伐克、荷兰、比利时，等等。他们只是类似于苏联卫星国的傀儡国家。
丘吉尔知道，德国人会希望英国舰队投降，使英国的解放更加困难。
丘吉尔认为他有责任维护大英帝国。1942年11月，丘吉尔曾说："我成为国王的第一大臣，并不是为了主持大英帝国的清算"。
最后，他知道通过投降实现和平将意味着英国的灭亡。英国外交大臣哈利法克斯勋爵曾敦促丘吉尔在德国德国空军的全部怒火在伦敦上空释放之前为和平求情。
丘吉尔回答说："在战斗中倒下的国家会重新站起来，但那些温顺地投降的国家会完蛋。"
Why didn't Churchill make a peace deal with Hitler, although Hitler tried several times for it?
Hitler was anxious for a peace deal. He respected the British and never had any faith in invasion plans drawn up by his generals.
Churchill had no illusions about peace with the Nazis. He had seen what had happened to the other states that made peace with Hitler: Austria, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium, etc. They were mere puppet states similar to the Soviet satellites.
Churchill knew the Germans would want the British fleet surrendered making liberation of Britain more difficult.
Churchill believed he had a duty to preserve the British Empire. In November 1942, Churchill had said that “I have not become the King's First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.”
Finally, he knew peace through a surrender would mean the end of Great Britain. British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax had urged Churchill to plea for peace before the full fury of the German Luftwaffe was unleashed over London skies.
Churchill replied, “Nations that go down fighting rise again, but those who surrender tamely are finished.”
