We Shall Never Surrender - Winston
Churchill and World War II
Extracts of key speeches by Winston
Churchill during WW2:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight
in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight
with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we
shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall
fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we
shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in
the hills; we shall never surrender.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whole fury and might of the enemy must
very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to
break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to
him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move
forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the
whole world, including the United States, including all that we
have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark
Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the
lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to
our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire
and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still
say, "This was their finest hour".

The gratitude of every home in our Island,
in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the
abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who,
undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and
mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their
prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human
conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
