So what was he. Ghurkha, seik, polish, scotch? The OP is as ambiguous as my spelling.

Those were better days to be a modest unassuming hero. No phone tapping journos, no book deals, no honey traps and nobody thrusting a mic in front of you and teasing out a politically incorrect utterance.

It's good that there were people of his ilk back in the day. One wonders what an equivalent act these days would result in.

We are all jumping the gun here.
He saved all those kids but we need to do a survey of the descendants of those kids and work out the balance of good/evil done by them. Then we judge.
At the very least we need to be sure his actions didn't result in Daniel Levy before we chuck the word hero at him.

Yes it is better but as per you, you try to dilute Winton's heroics based on your own nationalistic tendencies
Ok last word to you
Sorry Eddie

669 children!! Wow.
Think about the lives that would never have happened if those children had died. Would be many, many thousands now.

You are really struggling and know full well that a being a national hero and hero from a nation are different things.
In most Turkish eyes, Ataturk made Turkey, (the clue is in his name) and helped a lot of Turks, making him a national hero.
Winton did not save British people or the British nation. He was a real hero who was British. I am not sure why that is offensive, being a hero to more people than just one nation is better, is it not?

Not true
Kemal Ataturk is a national Turkish hero, he's not a hero in any other country is he?
