One of the pictures above shows a little sketch of Hitler that someone drew on the map in the Chief of Staff Conference Rooms within the Cabinet War Rooms.

After walking through these rooms underground for maybe 2 hours I wanted out and there wasn't an ounce of tobacco smoke that for 6 years employees had to work with on a daily nonstop basis. I don't know how they did it.

These rooms were top secret. They were very vulnerable with their location, but were never discovered and never bombed during the war.

The Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms is a museum in London and one of the five branches of the Imperial War Museum. The Cabinet War Rooms are an underground complex that had been used as an operational command and control center by the British government throughout the Second World War. Located beneath the Treasury building in the Whitehall area of Westminster, the facilities were abandoned in August 1945 after the surrender of Japan.

Winston Churchill is one of two people in the world to ever be given honorary American Citizenship. President Eisenhower gave this to Churchill.
