Yes, but he's said that IF he was Italian, he would have followed him. However, he wasn't Italian so he never did follow him.
My dad grew up in war time Holland about 20 miles from the German border. That made him one of the good guys. He's told me of how he and his brother, hid in a ditch, in fear and awe, at the back of the family farm and watched German troops file past for a couple of hours. They hid because they were afraid. My dad is certain that had he been born 20 miles to the east of the German border, in Germany, he would have patted the backs of the German soldiers on their way to invade Holland, goose stepping alongside of them and dreaming of the day that he, too could be marching with them.
That artificial line on the map made a huge difference on how he saw the world at the time. That's what Churchill was talking about. Most people don't realise that they would likely have been Nazis had they been born in Germany and were alive during the Nazi era. We like to think that we're that intrinsically good that we'd have resisted the lure of Hitler but if we believe that, we're fooling ourselves.
