The term 'Churchillian Gesture' refers to two distinct hand gestures made famous by the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II. The first gesture is a 'VEE', which is formed by extending the index and middle fingers of both hands in a V-shape. The second gesture is a 'Vsign', which is formed by extending the index and middle fingers of one hand in a V-shape while the other hand is held up with the palm facing outwards. Both of these gestures were used by Churchill to express his defiance against Nazi Germany and his determination to fight for Britain's freedom.
