Is it true that Churchill urinated on the Siegfried Line?

That's what Peter Clarke claims in the Last 1000 days of the British Empire. A google search also yields some interesting results.

That's real, there's even a direct photo on that

He's aware that he's being called as the bulldog, maybe this was for revenge of those German insults...

Yeah he for sure did. Though I think it may have actually be the Rhine River but I might be confusing that for Patton who I believe did something similar....leave me alone its almost 4 in the morning lol

He did piss into the Rhine, as did the officers of US 4th (Marine) brigade at the end of WW1. I think pissing into the Rhine is a 'thing'.

Probably as a symbolic middle finger to the German idea of the “Watch on the Rhine”.

It's actually more because the Rhine is THE iconic German river, like the Volga is for the Russians or Mississippi is for the US... When someone says "German river" the first thing that comes to mind is the Rhine. So in that vein pissing in the Rhine is pissing on Germany.

Sure what do you expect from an alcoholic?

I doubt the Dutch down river are very happy about that.

Churchill pissed on the Siegfried line. Patton pissed into the Rhine.

Churchill also pissed in the House of Commons but that was due to a prostate problem.

Both pissed in the Rhine towards the end of WW2. It was what western allied soldiers did, as Soviet soldiers carved their names on the wall of the Reichstag.

General Alan Brooke, chief of the Imperial General Staff, who was with Churchill that day, later wrote: “I shall never forget the childish grin of intense satisfaction that spread all over his face as he looked down at the critical moment.”
