Up until May 1940 it was Neville Chamberlain, but he resigned following the disastrous British retreat from Dunkirk when the British Expeditionary Force that had been sent to help defend France was forced to evacuate ahead of the advancing German army.

He was replaced by Winston Churchill, who was PM for the rest of WW2 in Europe.
