To defend him and remind us that we are all shades of grey and not black or white only, once Churchill became PM, Chamberlain supported him whole-heartedly despite his followers wanting him to sabotage Churchill, and Churchill records him as a "positive influence" in the Cabinet until his death. He quickly understood he was not the leader for wartime and could step aside and support the one who was. He even recommended Churchill to George VI despite everyone in the British Establishment's misgivings about Churchill.
