[1] It alleges that he was involved in the murder of the Polish Prime Minister, General Władysław Sikorski, in an airplane crash in 1943.
German writer Rolf Hochhuth wrote the play on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the First Geneva Convention, alleging that Churchill condoned the murder of Sikorski in order to appease Stalin, and also highlighting Churchill's support for the mass bombing of German cities in 1943.
[2] Hochhuth, unaware that the plane's pilot Eduard Prchal was still alive, accused him of participating in the plot.
According to Hochhuth's biographer Birgit Lahan, these rumours relayed by Jane Ledig-Rowohlt had been the sole source for the allegations in the play.
