Photos of the WW2 leaders as children.

Of course even as a child Churchill is smug
- In the "Last Lion", it's clear that he was pampered very much as a child by his mother, he was sickly often, and so she doted on him. At this stage in his life, he was very much a mother's boy.
  It's amazing he turned out the way he did really. He still had some of those tendencies at the end, but a lot of his characteristics were exaggerated. For example his drinking. He didn't actually drink more than 1 mixed drink a day usually, which he pulled on from his flask throughout. Any of the brandy or sipping beverages he was famous for consuming were typically non-alcoholic so he could retain his wits and make others think he was less together than he was. It was an intentional strategy, also, he still had health issues that prevented him from consuming too much alcohol. But he turned that into an advantage.
  
  It's honestly pretty incredible how much English propaganda survived the war. I still hear people claim English fighter pilots were orange because of all the carrots they ate to improve their night vision, which was a myth created by the English to keep the Germans from realizing they'd figured out radar.

Hitler looks like the kid which always has a runny nose and asks for games on your Smartphone.
- Pretty much. He was bullied most of his life and was an intolerable dickhead. Few people liked him for who he was. He was a sociopath and learned how to manipulate people to pretend to be charismatic or charming to get what he wanted.
  Which was revenge on all the people he felt wronged him.
  
  Surely that doesn’t describe any other political figures

Interesting that both Hitler and Stalin are looking down their noses at the camera.
That's probably reading too much into a snapshot. They're just kids here.
(But just in case, keep your eye on that little snot who does that in the yearbook)
- I was going to say, maybe it’s the power of hindsight, but they both look like asshole shits and Mussolini looks like he is growing up with some serious emotional issues, maybe some hatred for women after his mother dressed him like that.

As someone who used to work with kids a lot, every last one of them look like a little shit who is about to make my day at work measurably worse.
- Lol yes! Eisenhower maybe ok but not if he’s dropped off dressed like that.
- Including the ones in the OP?

Hitler looks like an incel and Mussolini looks like he pooped his pants. (Edit: politeness)
- Worse, pooped his pants on purpose and is proud of it!

Roosevelt is dressed like a rich kid, but his face says “don’t fuck with me”.
- His face says “bitch, did I tell you you could have some of my crackerjacks?”

mfw I get into work and it's already a shitshow
- "Knowing my luck I'll end up being hung by my feet."

Young Adolf really looks like a mini me version of Hitler, it's jarring to watch
- Looks like he didn't even switch his hairstyle since he was a kid
  
  Fun fact: many people don't! It's part of why old photos of teenagers look so old to us. Many people don't change their clothing style nor hairstyle much if at all as they age, so what was hip and rad style will be generic old person style about 50 years later
  Here's hoping this means there'll be plenty of belly shirts, skinny jeans, guyliner and fishnets worn by retired folks in the 2070s!

Mussolini looks like he’d be a sweet, if quiet, kid but will occasionally squeeze to death a small animal because someone didn’t bring him his tendies
- He looks like he just got yelled at by his parents to stay still for the photo.
  
  Yeah he does have the pouty eyebrows going. Kind of also looks like the godfather if he had a little rascals character.

TIL about the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. 25k soldiers is far more significant than I expected!

I had to look up Getulio, which appears to be Brazil's Getulio Vargas, of whom I had vaguely heard, but knew very little about. Which made for an informative read.
It's up for debate of he belongs in this life-up, instead of Mao, Pinochet, Franco or even Guevara or the north Koreans, but I'm not sure how available the childhood pictures of those are.
- I'd think Spain's Franco would be more appropriate than Brazil.
  
  Hence why I included him in my list

It’s odd that they all have pictures as kids. It like their parent brought them up into their future roles.. hmmm..

Oddly, De Gaulle reminds me of a short-haired Anne Hathaway. I think it’s in the eyes.
