July 14, 1940
(BBC Broadcast)
During the last fortnight the British Navy, in addition to blockading what is left of the German Fleet and chasing the Italian Fleet, has had imposed upon it the sad duty of putting effectually out of action for the duration of the war the capital ships of the French Navy. These, under the Armistice terms, signed in the railway coach at Compiegne, would have been placed within the power of Nazi Germany. The transference of these ships to Hitler would have endangered the security of both Great Britain and the United States. We therefore had no choice but to act as we did, and to act forthwith. Our painful task is now complete. Although the unfinished battleship, the Jean Bart, still rests in a Moroccan harbor and there are a number of French warships at Toulon and in various French ports all over the world, these are not in a condition or of a character to derange our preponderance of naval power. As long, therefore, as they make no attempt to return to ports controlled by Germany or Italy, we shall not molest them in any way. That melancholy phase in our relations with France has, so far as we are concerned, come to an end.

Jane Goodall mentioned listening to Churchill on the radio and I just wanted to have a quick listen... but stayed for the full 18+ minutes.
Never heard this before. Thanks for the upload!
Nor me. The more I hear him, the more I realise how important, how vital he was to the defeat of Adolf Hitler. M
Oh, for a leader of such wisdom and eloquence today.
...you and me BOTH, honey...:)
@@suzannereilman4516 The leader we have today can't even read a teleprompter.
@@Thetrueking-gr2ss
Churchill was a traitor.
@@MarkHarrison733no a hero
Splendid, nay sublime. Its appearance is betimes.
Cometh the hour cometh the man
The "hour" is coming again, but who, where, is the man?
Superb quality. Thanks
fascinating
thankyou
should have more views
i thought i heard his parliamentary speeches were recorded and played on the radio
maybe i got that wrong
He was fortunate to have had Alanbrooke at his side....
Sublime...
Winny recorded many of his speeches and broadcast after the war. I think this is one of them.
they were recorded and played at the time I think
Imagine your in 1940, GB standing alone, God bless the brave Brits and WSC.
schlusnus Your welcome!
Canada 🇨🇦 was with them from day one. They weren’t alone.
Truly inspiring use of the English language!
It was said of him that "he mobilised the English language, and sent it into battle".
Couldn't agree more.
Shane Craig...the US was sending war material to the UK before we entered the conflict. We had no part in starting that war but we spent many lives and much treasure fighting in that war. It was good that we did
Some one knows..
Churchill was great leader of the history of warfare
This he was NOT
"Lest we forget, lest we forget."
I think this is WSC re-reading the original 1940 radio address after the war
Not from the postwar readings by Churchill but a studio recording of a landline feed at the time. ( Listen to the room acoustic- I suspect the Cabinet Room at No 10 because of a suggestive high ceiling.)
Grande lider mundial.
The greatest orator of the twentieth century.
this is beutiful it is important and it is a power symbol
Was this the original broadcast or a postwar reading?
From the broadcast.
recorded at the time?
@@davidevans3227Yes. The recording was then sold at the time to raise funds for families of bombed houses
@@Tannhauser45 i think my parents have a cassette collection...
2024 who's here?
Yeah and the French never gave the UK a thank you
They did
Thank you? They still consider Churchill a war criminal for this action against France.
Subspace / Continuum bought me here.. %8 1:00
He says "during the last fortnite" in the beginning
1:35
How unlike a politician
WW2 tweets brought me here

No one:

Much, much education they still have to absorb, if they can, if they will.
"Liberated France" lmao really? Look at it now 🤣
Yea I'm really starting to think we LOST WW2!
Very free...you can't compare the french that lived in Nazi terror to today's France. Don't be ridiculous. Ask the people who lived under Nazi occupation then , they will tell you the horrors.
@@duncanchizizi6543 at least the Germans stood up for white people. Look at how our governments treat us now compared to the invaders they’re importing into our lands every day.
0:00 '' fortnite '' ?
Fortnight means 2 weeks. Not Fortnite as in the game. They're spelled differently but are pronounced the same not to mention "Fortnite" isn't actually a word
@@diarrhea373is someone confusing the two!?!?!?
really!?!?!?!?
I cannot tell whether it is Bush or Trump speaking ?
.....numbnuts..../
If you compare Churchil to Hitler, they were very different people! 1 was a war hero that came from poverty, the other a silver spoon fed drunk...
@wolfsoldier
One was a Nazi Jew murderer socialist and nationalist who raped and stole Jewish homes to enrich German Aryans.
The other is a rich drunk sure but more sober in reason and moral. One who stood up to the poor "war hero" and told him that his men were cowards and bloodied his nazi regime.
@@zlonewolf Agree to disagree.
@@zlonewolf Churchill caused the Holocaust.
Yes Hitler was a old feeble drug addict who ran on meth and cocaine.
Nein nein nein
