Mit Titulken I still find myself coming back to your video every now and again, especially when feeling a little jaded, or down with my lot in life. The combination of Churchill's words with that beautiful rendition of Nimrod (Variation 15), helps me reignite the determination to pick myself up, dust myself off, and plough on through. His words are a haunting echo from a past where so many men and women had to dig deep, cling onto whatever gave them faith, and hope for a time when the world would emerge from darkness and destruction. My story is just one of Billions, and I thank you for being a small part of it. Edit: the movie is also a modern classic!
'if necessary alone' - Churchill was a master of presenting the real world circumstances of his beloved Britain's status in the world into words.. this line still makes me shiver. Imagine knowing that all that stood between Hitler and total victory in Europe was this small island and YOU had to lead her defense. His self made belief in the fighting men in the BAF and in the wider Empire was a shining light when all those around him sought appeasement to Hitler and Mussolini. Patriotism level is over 9000.
That line always gives me chills. Churchill was a stubborn bastard with an iron will and an unbreakable determination. He was the leader that the British needed to inspire an army of men who simply would not yield. I for one will never forget the bravery and sacrifice those men made. Heroes, every one of them.
I know Canada wasn’t under attacking on his land , but Canadians were at war with Germans since the very beginning too . They provided tons of supplies , men , aircraft , pilots , ammunition to England .
If not for Winston Churchill and this speech in that exact moment in time Western Civilization could have fallen into darkness. Greatest respects from a cousin of yours from across the sea. I would also advise you, the time has come to be bitter weeds again!
As an American, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Brits. My grandfather as an American serviceman was in The U.K and was in London and Cardiff as the blitz was happening. He was always grateful to The British and stood with them. What can you say about a country that fought essentially a 2 front war alone for 19 months? American industrial might may have helped win but if it weren't for The British, there would have been no way the allies would have won
@@martinpotter2272 That very same alliance is currently helping the Ukrainians defend their homeland by providing their servicemen with "instruments of collosal and shattering power..." Proud of both of our nations for their continued commitment to the global ideals of freedom and democracy 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Makes me proud to be British, to be part of "Great Britain". May we continue to recognise the people who continue to stand for the values of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and the spirit of human decency in the face of tyranny .
Makes me proud to be British and that my people a few generations before me where ready to face off against an almost insurmountable foe on its own. Europe was gone as we knew it and we were next. History had other plans. Lest we not forget. 🇬🇧🫡
Ukraine is an example to us all. Our British and Commonwealth history, ALL of it, and this amazing speech should be properly shared with all our children at school. Being proud of your country begins at home and school.
But pride in nationhood is what got UK in this situation against Germany. Without national pride, nazism and Italian fascism wouldn't have gripped those countries. Hungary and Bulgaria wouldn't have been taken over with revanchism. Romania wouldn't have been so eager to defend its gains that it would side with its enemies. Pride leads to this. Sacrifice got humanity out. Humility keeps humanity out
1 of the Greatest and most Articulate Men & War Time Leaders EVER! I'm a 34 Yr Old American who LOVES Military History but when my Dad and I also took my 14 Yr Old Cousin with us too despite that he suffers from both a Huge Case of ADHD & may be 14.5 but Mentally he grows slower so it's like taking a 11 Yr Old I figured he'd HATE It. I explained in the easiest way possible what DUNKIRK was about and the Most Amazing thing happened...
Honorless83 All the very best to you, your Dad, and especially your cousin. I'm proud my Grandfather's small part in that fateful event decades ago had such a positive effect on him. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about our history. Godspeed to you and your family mate.
This speech, like the one in Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator and the one that concluded A Tale Of Two Cities, is one of the most important about the power of resistance and humanity refusing to give up in the face of opposition, as well as the strength of humanity believing in itself.
It’s actually an incredible work of art, we are so lucky we can listen to his own words in recording. It was said of Churchill by an American war correspondent that “he mobilised the English language and took it into war”
This is quite lovely. I watched Darkest Hour today, it works nicely as a companion to Dunkirk. Churchill was such an interesting man and this speech never fails to give me chills
@Bro Down I've seen you post this several times now, Bro. Please don't think I'm trying to start an argument when I ask you; why do you feel like that about Darkest Hour? I'm genuinely interested, as I didn't interoperate it that way? Genuinely interested to read your critique 👍
@Bro Down Of course, now I completely understand the significance. Similar to what the BBC did with the kids "educational" YT vid a couple of years ago, when they depicted an archetypal British-Roman family as having a Sub-Saharan chap as the father, white mother and mixed race kids. I remember Infowars and Paul Joseph Watson hammering them for it, but the usual freedom-hating Momentum-backed mouth pieces cried "racism!" Instead of explaining why history was literally being rewritten. It's diversity for diversity sake. Can you remember what the very useful Mehera Bonner (writing in the critically acclaimed "Marie Claire" shitrag) said about Dunkirk? Anti feminist, an excuse to praise negative masculinity, lack of cultural diversity, women only shown as victims... Blah Blah Blah. Sorry love, but when I served in the RAF and did my tours of Iraq and Afghan, blokes massively outnumbered females in frontline combat roles, so what do you think the stats regards deployment of female military personnel would be in 1940?! When I took my honourable discharge I returned to an alien country, where many of my brothers in arms had been left to drink themselves to death in shop doorways, languish in Police cells instead of mental health facilities, or string themselves up in a rancid bedsit, while the very enemy I had been protecting my country from were welcomed with open arms, receiving all the benefits I and thousands like me never did, and allowed to assimilate their own communities of hatred, hell bent on destroying the culture, values, and freedoms of the very country which gave them an all access backstage pass to British social welfare. Rant over. My apologies.
@Bro Down Let's just hope their are enough of the new generation whom have the courage and pride to actually want to fight for their history, culture, geography and quite possibly; their freedom. Unfortunately it looks as though we who truly love our country are vastly outnumbered. I only have to spend mere minutes on YT, and everywhere the propaganda bombardment in as heavy as ever, in the form of social media and internet porn-addicted teenagers/young adults who idolise the "professional idiots" from reality TV shows instead of respecting the true heroes working for our Emergency Services, NHS, and armed forces. Bitter, overweight feminists wishing to steamroll a man's right to existence. Proudly arm in arm with them stand the Beta cucks and soyboys who relish in blaming me, my colour and my heritage for everything negative in the world. But more rancid than any of the above, we have our supposed politic representatives; the same ones whom have just treated themselves to yet another pay rise, steering our once proud homeland into the arms of oblivion. And for what? Power, wealth and living outside the boundaries of our laws. Who will be here left to fight when all of the above have taken to their knees and reciprocated?
@Bro Down Man... This.conversation is more relevant than ever. All Hail King Michael of Farage! He wiped out the Tories thanks to their appalling handling of Brexit, and Labour was easily routed thanks to Comrade Corbin planting his Stalinist Arse firmly on the fence, hoping to eventually jump onto whoever wins out between Hard Brexit V Second Referendum. A higher voter turnout than ever before, the three main political parties spanked by a fringe group created only two months prior to the election, and despite the propaganda spewed out by the Biased Broadcasting Corporation, Brexiteers outvoted (once again) Remoaners. Why didn't Remain win out on the day? Because despite their supporters (being huge advocates of Democracy), the vast majority are lazy middle/upper class students and lecturers, immigrants (including illegal ones) so called activists and influencers, and benefit cheats, couldn't be arsed to either register to vote, or leave the comfort of the sofa and familiar safety of daytime television to actually cast their vote! The above being a perfect example of how the majority of Left Wing Remain supporters just "expect" things to happen... Like how they expect their benefits to just magically appear in their bank accounts, the Bank of Mum & Dad to pay their phone bills, rent and loans, don't take pride in their community because someone else will clean it up, or actually bother to protest against the true evils and injustices which exist in this world, as it's far easier to hate proud Britons who wish to safeguard their heritage for future generations of Britons. We who now demand our Brexit are relishing the opportunity to roll up our sleeves, get stuck in, work hard, and regain a sense of national pride and respect for ourselves, which if we continued to be shamelessly milked by the EUSSR wouldn't happen. Apologies for the rant lol #nosecondreferendum
I felt the same way initially but then came to appreciate that as the story was told from the point of view of the soldiers and sailors etc., who were actually there it made more sense for one of them to be reading about it in the paper as it was in the film. It felt more personal that way. Though I can't deny that hearing it from the man himself over the score would have been a powerful moment.
Gives me chills every time. Might be the greatest speech of all time. Thank God for Churchill. He was the leader the British needed at that time. He was the only man for the job. Thank God for the British army as well. Those men were some hard bastards. It’s truly incredible what they did in thwarting Hitler’s plans of invading Britain...especially when you consider they were the only ones capable of fighting back, and for a long time they were the only ones that did. Their heroic sacrifice will always be remembered.
I am not english or my country didnt be part of this damn war but ı am still thankfull what allies do in ww2. Their efforts saved the world from the great threat
"We shall never surrender" Shame, I wish people here in England still loved their country as much as the people that fought for it in WW2. Most people are quite happy to just sit back and watch as our country gets taken over.
Mass uncontrollable immigration is ethnic cleansing by another name. Racist is a word used by communist fascists to undermine freedom of thought, speech, expression and conscience.
ConorJDavies ..oh you mean like the Saxon waves of migration, Danish, Irish, Scottish, Norman French, Roman, ....just sat there. And then for a couple of centuries they went all over the world and just took whatever they fancied. Strange, hypocritical thinking.
This was a war with some unbelievably fantastic speeches. I mean, speeches that could breathe life into men who knew they wouldn’t be coming home, but needed to fight to defend it anyway. So powerful.
Glory to our brothers and sisters who fell in battle; We can never understand the magnitude of their sacrifice. Thanks to them we had the opportunity to live and I am saddened by what we are doing to the planet and in this society that we have become; without honor, or love for our neighbor or respect for the country. All those who wish to dispel this legacy is because they do not know the meaning of sacrifice. It is our responsibility to remember and honor our heroes; because they fought in the hills, they fought in the sea, they fought in the air and they never surrender.
its a shame people are now attacking this man, attacking the memory of a person who saved our country and the world from control of the true axis of evil, Churchill was a flawed leader but he was a leader we needed right when we needed him, he stood his ground and brought Britain from the brink of destruction, he seen the threat that nazi germany posed to the world, he was the first to call for arms against the true enemy, Churchill I like many others Salute you.
Britain has been lost,gone forever from which it once was,but we should be proud that we were once set an example of a Britain such as this. A beautiful brotherhood encapsulated in time for eternity for us all to see.The British people of the 2nd World War were the last of the Great British.The English,Irish,Scottish and Welsh all fought and died together. Rest in peace,our generations of Britains shall be long forgotten,but they shall stand proud in time together....forever.
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, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." 🌄🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
With this scene, while it shrinks the heart, one can understand what Spirit of Dunkirk means. The resistance and, over the time, superiority that Britain showed until the end of the storm started there, in Dunkirk. June 40. Dunkirk was the end for many and the beginning for many others. But above all it was the beginning of Hitler's end. The way in which this event reinforced, illuminated and united the spirit of every child, girl, man, woman, grandfather and British grandmother, will rubricate in memory forever. One of those people who crossed, unconditionally, the canal with their summer and fishing boats was my great grandfather.
The fact that Churchill had a speech impediment and yet is known as one of the greatest orators of all time should be a lesson to us all that we should not allow our inadequacies hold us back, and that ultimately it is talent courage and the substance of our words that count.
There is a CD entitled, "His Finest Hour", speeches of Winston Churchill. Has many excerpts from his best speeches, including this one, which runs for 12 minutes on the CD. He had a very pronounced lisp, which was typical in the British upper-classes. It irks me no end when I read German-Nazi-fanboys say he was a drunk, and must've been drunk when he made this and other speeches. This speech is long and with many complex sentences. No one who was drunk could've made this speech. But, they persist in trying trying to defend fascism. At the end of this speech where he insists that they will carry on the struggle "if necessary for years, if necessary alone", makes me cry each time I hear it. "The British Empire armed and guarded by the British Fleet will carry on , until in God's good time the New World with all it's power and might comes forth to the rescue and liberation of the old".
Churchill certainly has his flaws. He was adamantly against independence for Britain's colonies and he wasn't a fan of Gandhi. But he was the leader Britain needed at a time when Nazi tyranny seemed invincible. And in that sense, this man played a part in saving democracy.
Just wondering, what Churchill thinks after second world war, looking back when he speech at time that English was really in the desperate position almost lost and then 3 years later victory...very dramatic, from down to top,
This picture alone signifies the spirit of all the British, the inhabitants of this Great Island...we will NEVER surrender! we love our land and Independence
“Where do we stand? We are not members of the European Defence Community, nor do we intend to be merged in a Federal European system." - Winston Churchill. He was in favour of a United states of Europe, but not of British membership.
Stop your bloody winging - with the spirit of our grand fathers, with our blood that is true -see and make a new earth into creation. Not all of us is strong enough to carry their legacy, but those of us that are can & will create a world that is true to all our hearts - Blighty I will always love & honour you...
Thank you to all of you SIR CHURCHILL and The English & The UK people and The Commonwealth on the whole for your Anglo-Saxon values and democracy and for your fighting spirit to have save the world from tyranny and to have liberated France humiliated from Nazi Germany and to have released the European countries !
Never surrender, and we never did. Ever, never in the course of World War 2 or 1 did we surrender. Against all odds, against all foes, against all logic and time. The British empire continued forth, even as it's colonies left. The men and women of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and (Northern) Ireland saved europe from tyranny while maintaining hundreds of thousands of hectares of land across the seas.
Don Baker Corbin, Momentum, the EU, and the onward march of left wing political correctness which erodes any sense of National Pride and Britishness will never allow another like Churchill to rise to power and lead us. The new generation which has been brainwashed to challenge any conservative values, demand an end to Capitalism (by tweeting it from their £500 IPhones and laptops, or throwing petrol bombs at working class police officers no older than themselves) accept the dissolving of British culture as a positive, and eradication of our history as "the right thing to do". Why is Britishness considered such a taboo nowadays? Especially when one considers the amount of good we have brought to this world? I'll never make sense of what is happening to our island..? I'm immensely proud of what my grandparents did to protect this country. And they'd be horrified if they saw what state this country was now in, despite their generation's sacrifice.
Resident Elect typical right wing whinger. Why are you always banging on about how England was so much better before social services, education, health reform and penicillin.
Nicholas Warner A sweeping assumption to pigeonhole me as a "Right Wing" Winger? You have absolutely no idea where my political affiliations lie. And if you believe the United Kingdom is utopian with acid attacks, moped gangs, terrorist attacks, a deeply abused social welfare and National Health Service, Article 2 of the ECHR allowing foreign criminals and terrorists to avoid extradition, then you are very, very naive indeed.

Stick your daily mail in your Bisto take your pathetic "patriotism" and stick up your hateful backwards looking little Englander arse. My grandfather would punch u on the nose for the crap you talk
Panda Fish Churchill would recognise your comments as that of a stupid ignorant fool. He was an empire builder, an empire that had more Muslims than Christians Fuckfeatures.
Nicholas Warner What? R u fucking dumb? If there was a majority of muslims in the empire no wonder it fell. islam is a disease that goes around ruining other countries cultures. anyone today would see u as someone dumber than a horse ass
You obviously demonstrate a horse's arse of an intellect if you didn't realise the debt owed to those countless millions who served the Empire, from India, Pakistan, Nepal they died in Europe in particular fighting at Monte Cassino. You, sir are a dolt, thickheaded moron. I thank You.
I’m ok to fight and die for my country. But when people just sit and allow another group slowly take over the country and nothing is being done this is the issue. Just remember I’m supposed to defend against foreign AND domestic

Great Britain. The only nation that stood their ground and were ready to take on the evil enemy alone.
Sincere thanks to our good friends and allies.
I know Canada wasn’t under attacking on his land , but Canadians were at war with Germans since the very beginning too . They provided tons of supplies , men , aircraft , pilots , ammunition to England .
@@TheCanadian888 Yes, we owe much respect and thanks to Canada
Poland: am i joke to you?
Edward Bergeron and we’ll never forget that support
Britain and the commonwealth fought together
If not for Winston Churchill and this speech in that exact moment in time Western Civilization could have fallen into darkness. Greatest respects from a cousin of yours from across the sea. I would also advise you, the time has come to be bitter weeds again!
Absolutely my idle. Churchill, I believe, even as an American, was really the one who held the world together during those dark years.
He was half-American and half-British.
*idol
As an American, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Brits. My grandfather as an American serviceman was in The U.K and was in London and Cardiff as the blitz was happening. He was always grateful to The British and stood with them. What can you say about a country that fought essentially a 2 front war alone for 19 months? American industrial might may have helped win but if it weren't for The British, there would have been no way the allies would have won
The British American alliance is the greatest alliance the world has ever seen
@@martinpotter2272
That very same alliance is currently helping the Ukrainians defend their homeland by providing their servicemen with "instruments of collosal and shattering power..."
Proud of both of our nations for their continued commitment to the global ideals of freedom and democracy 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Never has a greater speech ever been composed
Makes me cry to think of the state of our nation today. What have we done.
Rule brittania. God save the Queen. No surrender.
Thanks for posting
Makes me proud to be British, to be part of "Great Britain". May we continue to recognise the people who continue to stand for the values of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and the spirit of human decency in the face of tyranny .
Makes me proud to be British and that my people a few generations before me where ready to face off against an almost insurmountable foe on its own. Europe was gone as we knew it and we were next. History had other plans.
Lest we not forget.
🇬🇧🫡
Goosebumps....absolutely brilliant
tom weakley - agreed. Same here.
Ukraine is an example to us all. Our British and Commonwealth history, ALL of it, and this amazing speech should be properly shared with all our children at school. Being proud of your country begins at home and school.
N' here we are. After a decade of growing our western interests in that country. Here we are not defending this nation with our own blood.
But pride in nationhood is what got UK in this situation against Germany. Without national pride, nazism and Italian fascism wouldn't have gripped those countries. Hungary and Bulgaria wouldn't have been taken over with revanchism. Romania wouldn't have been so eager to defend its gains that it would side with its enemies.
Pride leads to this. Sacrifice got humanity out. Humility keeps humanity out
1 of the Greatest and most Articulate Men & War Time Leaders EVER! I'm a 34 Yr Old American who LOVES Military History but when my Dad and I also took my 14 Yr Old Cousin with us too despite that he suffers from both a Huge Case of ADHD & may be 14.5 but Mentally he grows slower so it's like taking a 11 Yr Old I figured he'd HATE It. I explained in the easiest way possible what DUNKIRK was about and the Most Amazing thing happened...
Honorless83 All the very best to you, your Dad, and especially your cousin. I'm proud my Grandfather's small part in that fateful event decades ago had such a positive effect on him.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about our history.
Godspeed to you and your family mate.
4:40 probably the reason you're here
A time when men were men //
This sounds so good with Dunkirk soundtrack. Well done, mate!
This speech, like the one in Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator and the one that concluded A Tale Of Two Cities, is one of the most important about the power of resistance and humanity refusing to give up in the face of opposition, as well as the strength of humanity believing in itself.
I couldn't love your post more. Beautiful symbolism in the literature.
best speech ever hands down.
It’s actually an incredible work of art, we are so lucky we can listen to his own words in recording. It was said of Churchill by an American war correspondent that “he mobilised the English language and took it into war”
Every time I hear this piece of music, especially with this astonishing speech, I am reduced to tears. Fantastic mash up.
'We Shall Never Surrender!'
Hot damn this hits me every time
Connor Simpson I know this is totally of topic but is that tomppabeats in your icon
Connor Simpson You and me both I cry with patriotism
This is quite lovely. I watched Darkest Hour today, it works nicely as a companion to Dunkirk. Churchill was such an interesting man and this speech never fails to give me chills
@Bro Down
I've seen you post this several times now, Bro.
Please don't think I'm trying to start an argument when I ask you; why do you feel like that about Darkest Hour? I'm genuinely interested, as I didn't interoperate it that way?
Genuinely interested to read your critique 👍
@Bro Down
Of course, now I completely understand the significance.
Similar to what the BBC did with the kids "educational" YT vid a couple of years ago, when they depicted an archetypal British-Roman family as having a Sub-Saharan chap as the father, white mother and mixed race kids. I remember Infowars and Paul Joseph Watson hammering them for it, but the usual freedom-hating Momentum-backed mouth pieces cried "racism!" Instead of explaining why history was literally being rewritten.
It's diversity for diversity sake.
Can you remember what the very useful Mehera Bonner (writing in the critically acclaimed "Marie Claire" shitrag) said about Dunkirk? Anti feminist, an excuse to praise negative masculinity, lack of cultural diversity, women only shown as victims... Blah Blah Blah.
Sorry love, but when I served in the RAF and did my tours of Iraq and Afghan, blokes massively outnumbered females in frontline combat roles, so what do you think the stats regards deployment of female military personnel would be in 1940?!
When I took my honourable discharge I returned to an alien country, where many of my brothers in arms had been left to drink themselves to death in shop doorways, languish in Police cells instead of mental health facilities, or string themselves up in a rancid bedsit, while the very enemy I had been protecting my country from were welcomed with open arms, receiving all the benefits I and thousands like me never did, and allowed to assimilate their own communities of hatred, hell bent on destroying the culture, values, and freedoms of the very country which gave them an all access backstage pass to British social welfare.
Rant over. My apologies.
@Bro Down
Let's just hope their are enough of the new generation whom have the courage and pride to actually want to fight for their history, culture, geography and quite possibly; their freedom.
Unfortunately it looks as though we who truly love our country are vastly outnumbered. I only have to spend mere minutes on YT, and everywhere the propaganda bombardment in as heavy as ever, in the form of social media and internet porn-addicted teenagers/young adults who idolise the "professional idiots" from reality TV shows instead of respecting the true heroes working for our Emergency Services, NHS, and armed forces.
Bitter, overweight feminists wishing to steamroll a man's right to existence. Proudly arm in arm with them stand the Beta cucks and soyboys who relish in blaming me, my colour and my heritage for everything negative in the world.
But more rancid than any of the above, we have our supposed politic representatives; the same ones whom have just treated themselves to yet another pay rise, steering our once proud homeland into the arms of oblivion. And for what? Power, wealth and living outside the boundaries of our laws.
Who will be here left to fight when all of the above have taken to their knees and reciprocated?
Absolutely
@Bro Down
Man... This.conversation is more relevant than ever.
All Hail King Michael of Farage!
He wiped out the Tories thanks to their appalling handling of Brexit, and Labour was easily routed thanks to Comrade Corbin planting his Stalinist Arse firmly on the fence, hoping to eventually jump onto whoever wins out between Hard Brexit V Second Referendum.
A higher voter turnout than ever before, the three main political parties spanked by a fringe group created only two months prior to the election, and despite the propaganda spewed out by the Biased Broadcasting Corporation, Brexiteers outvoted (once again) Remoaners.
Why didn't Remain win out on the day? Because despite their supporters (being huge advocates of Democracy), the vast majority are lazy middle/upper class students and lecturers, immigrants (including illegal ones) so called activists and influencers, and benefit cheats, couldn't be arsed to either register to vote, or leave the comfort of the sofa and familiar safety of daytime television to actually cast their vote!
The above being a perfect example of how the majority of Left Wing Remain supporters just "expect" things to happen...
Like how they expect their benefits to just magically appear in their bank accounts, the Bank of Mum & Dad to pay their phone bills, rent and loans, don't take pride in their community because someone else will clean it up, or actually bother to protest against the true evils and injustices which exist in this world, as it's far easier to hate proud Britons who wish to safeguard their heritage for future generations of Britons.
We who now demand our Brexit are relishing the opportunity to roll up our sleeves, get stuck in, work hard, and regain a sense of national pride and respect for ourselves, which if we continued to be shamelessly milked by the EUSSR wouldn't happen.
Apologies for the rant lol
#nosecondreferendum
This is so good. It should have been like this in the film.
Ham Burglar why, aren't his words good enough, he is dead u know?
I felt the same way initially but then came to appreciate that as the story was told from the point of view of the soldiers and sailors etc., who were actually there it made more sense for one of them to be reading about it in the paper as it was in the film. It felt more personal that way. Though I can't deny that hearing it from the man himself over the score would have been a powerful moment.
@@jacktorrance3522 True.
Gives me chills every time. Might be the greatest speech of all time. Thank God for Churchill. He was the leader the British needed at that time. He was the only man for the job. Thank God for the British army as well. Those men were some hard bastards. It’s truly incredible what they did in thwarting Hitler’s plans of invading Britain...especially when you consider they were the only ones capable of fighting back, and for a long time they were the only ones that did. Their heroic sacrifice will always be remembered.
we Have Never Surrendered our Country for a Thousand years and we have never been Conquered in Thousand years. and we will never Surrender Again!
Sadly , Sir , you people, should have listened ,to the Rt Hon Enoch Powell , 40 years ago , demographics will now defeat you !
Patrick Thomas Surrender to the gods of fleet Street tax Dodgers tho' eh?
I am not english or my country didnt be part of this damn war but ı am still thankfull what allies do in ww2. Their efforts saved the world from the great threat
Unforgettable. GB miss you much nowadays.
"We shall never surrender"
Shame, I wish people here in England still loved their country as much as the people that fought for it in WW2. Most people are quite happy to just sit back and watch as our country gets taken over.
Well said.
Mass uncontrollable immigration is ethnic cleansing by another name. Racist is a word used by communist fascists to undermine freedom of thought, speech, expression and conscience.
ConorJDavies ..oh you mean like the Saxon waves of migration, Danish, Irish, Scottish, Norman French, Roman, ....just sat there. And then for a couple of centuries they went all over the world and just took whatever they fancied. Strange, hypocritical thinking.
Brecconable Racist.

Long live Britaina and all its glorious people
A truly great man and will for ever be steeped in history I personally will forever be grateful. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The last time the British said no to Europe.
Brexit?
This was a war with some unbelievably fantastic speeches. I mean, speeches that could breathe life into men who knew they wouldn’t be coming home, but needed to fight to defend it anyway. So powerful.
Glory to our brothers and sisters who fell in battle; We can never understand the magnitude of their sacrifice. Thanks to them we had the opportunity to live and I am saddened by what we are doing to the planet and in this society that we have become; without honor, or love for our neighbor or respect for the country. All those who wish to dispel this legacy is because they do not know the meaning of sacrifice. It is our responsibility to remember and honor our heroes; because they fought in the hills, they fought in the sea, they fought in the air and they never surrender.
that sir was bloody magnificently done!!!!
its a shame people are now attacking this man, attacking the memory of a person who saved our country and the world from control of the true axis of evil, Churchill was a flawed leader but he was a leader we needed right when we needed him, he stood his ground and brought Britain from the brink of destruction, he seen the threat that nazi germany posed to the world, he was the first to call for arms against the true enemy, Churchill I like many others Salute you.
Absolutely stunning.
Great speech by a great man from a Great Britain 🇬🇧 who stood alone
Britain has been lost,gone forever from which it once was,but we should be proud that we were once set an example of a Britain such as this. A beautiful brotherhood encapsulated in time for eternity for us all to see.The British people of the 2nd World War were the last of the Great British.The English,Irish,Scottish and Welsh all fought and died together. Rest in peace,our generations of Britains shall be long forgotten,but they shall stand proud in time together....forever.
Fuck you you snivelling, traitorous little flea. Why not go live in Syria then?
🇬🇧 So proud to be British
Churchill was atheist in his later life but what about near the end of his life
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, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." 🌄🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
We hold the torch passed down to us by these heroes WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER
Brilliant man, thank god we had him
With this scene, while it shrinks the heart, one can understand what Spirit of Dunkirk means.
The resistance and, over the time, superiority that Britain showed until the end of the storm started there, in Dunkirk. June 40.
Dunkirk was the end for many and the beginning for many others.
But above all it was the beginning of Hitler's end.
The way in which this event reinforced, illuminated and united the spirit of every child, girl, man, woman, grandfather and British grandmother, will rubricate in memory forever.
One of those people who crossed, unconditionally, the canal with their summer and fishing boats was my great grandfather.
The fact that Churchill had a speech impediment and yet is known as one of the greatest orators of all time should be a lesson to us all that we should not allow our inadequacies hold us back, and that ultimately it is talent courage and the substance of our words that count.
There is a CD entitled, "His Finest Hour", speeches of Winston Churchill. Has many excerpts from his best speeches, including this one, which runs for 12 minutes on the CD. He had a very pronounced lisp, which was typical in the British upper-classes. It irks me no end when I read German-Nazi-fanboys say he was a drunk, and must've been drunk when he made this and other speeches. This speech is long and with many complex sentences. No one who was drunk could've made this speech. But, they persist in trying trying to defend fascism. At the end of this speech where he insists that they will carry on the struggle "if necessary for years, if necessary alone", makes me cry each time I hear it. "The British Empire armed and guarded by the British Fleet will carry on , until in God's good time the New World with all it's power and might comes forth to the rescue and liberation of the old".
Well said sir I agree with your statement
Agreed. If you doubt his sobriety, go grab a 6 pack, drink it, then try and read this speech in front of people. Good luck.
ONE OF THE GREATEST SPEECHES IN HISTORY HANDS DOWN
Churchill certainly has his flaws. He was adamantly against independence for Britain's colonies and he wasn't a fan of Gandhi. But he was the leader Britain needed at a time when Nazi tyranny seemed invincible. And in that sense, this man played a part in saving democracy.
Definitely. We couldn't have a leader that was going to be all nicey nicey. To fight a war like that you need to fight fire with fire.
MIT Titulken I salute to you for making this video
Thank you.
🇬🇧
You're very welcome.
Thank you for making this
Who could dislike this video? Really? One of the most inspiring speeches in recorded history!
:D Don't you know? Churchill was a genocidal maniac.
:D
Just wondering, what Churchill thinks after second world war, looking back when he speech at time that English was really in the desperate position almost lost and then 3 years later victory...very dramatic, from down to top,
This picture alone signifies the spirit of all the British, the inhabitants of this Great Island...we will NEVER surrender! we love our land and Independence
Never felt more proud to be British
Epic. The greatest speech of the past century.
Past Millenia
What happened England? I wonder what would Churchill think of what his nation has become.
We still pack a punch!
He regretted the loss of Empire.... one reason he lost the only election as leader of a victorious nation!
He would certainly be dismayed by our bitter and parochial abandonment of his dream of 'a United States of Europe'.
“Where do we stand? We are not members of the European Defence Community, nor do we intend to be merged in a Federal European system." - Winston Churchill.
He was in favour of a United states of Europe, but not of British membership.
He did not dream of Britain being a part of a United States of Europe. Read your history.
The bravery of these men! I just can't move past it! They are bravery personified
Awesome! What a leader. What music!
Stop your bloody winging - with the spirit of our grand fathers, with our blood that is true -see and make a new earth into creation. Not all of us is strong enough to carry their legacy, but those of us that are can & will create a world that is true to all our hearts - Blighty I will always love & honour you...
Thank you to all of you SIR CHURCHILL and The English & The UK people and The Commonwealth on the whole for your Anglo-Saxon values and democracy and for your fighting spirit to have save the world from tyranny and to have liberated France humiliated from Nazi Germany and to have released the European countries !
Background audio fits perfectly on this speech...
We shall never surrender ever again ...
war and peace... this speech is truly epic. we are all an island.. we shall never surrender.
this should be the ending tbh. would of be an epic film ending in any film.
Well done. Magnificent.
What a true speech by a true leader!!
What a great man one of the greatest leaders of all time
My grandad was taken at
Dunkirk as a prisoner of war
I will always be grateful to
him and all who fought in ww2
*WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER* 🇬🇧
If necessary for years, if necessary alone!
Gets me every time
Wonderful Winston
Happy VE Day to all countries who sacrificed their lives for us!
The hand of God, using man to right wrong. God bless England!
You are welcome 🇬🇧
There is no more a milder country than the UK but you pull the sleeping lions tail at your peril !
My Hero
Keith Rose well said sir, where you from?
Never surrender, and we never did. Ever, never in the course of World War 2 or 1 did we surrender. Against all odds, against all foes, against all logic and time. The British empire continued forth, even as it's colonies left. The men and women of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and (Northern) Ireland saved europe from tyranny while maintaining hundreds of thousands of hectares of land across the seas.
Never surrender. God save the Queen and all British Armed Forces. I am so proud.
We have need of another Churchill, but I see not one . .
Don Baker
Corbin, Momentum, the EU, and the onward march of left wing political correctness which erodes any sense of National Pride and Britishness will never allow another like Churchill to rise to power and lead us.
The new generation which has been brainwashed to challenge any conservative values, demand an end to Capitalism (by tweeting it from their £500 IPhones and laptops, or throwing petrol bombs at working class police officers no older than themselves) accept the dissolving of British culture as a positive, and eradication of our history as "the right thing to do".
Why is Britishness considered such a taboo nowadays? Especially when one considers the amount of good we have brought to this world?
I'll never make sense of what is happening to our island..?
I'm immensely proud of what my grandparents did to protect this country. And they'd be horrified if they saw what state this country was now in, despite their generation's sacrifice.
Resident Elect typical right wing whinger. Why are you always banging on about how England was so much better before social services, education, health reform and penicillin.
David Davis? Boris, garage LMFAO.
Nicholas Warner A sweeping assumption to pigeonhole me as a "Right Wing" Winger? You have absolutely no idea where my political affiliations lie.
And if you believe the United Kingdom is utopian with acid attacks, moped gangs, terrorist attacks, a deeply abused social welfare and National Health Service, Article 2 of the ECHR allowing foreign criminals and terrorists to avoid extradition, then you are very, very naive indeed.
Resident Elect See I knew you were/are an old Brexshitter spewing filth about the EU and by implication all of us 48% who voted for the future. Your pathetic gibberish is just that. Stick your daily mail in your Bisto take your pathetic "patriotism" and stick up your hateful backwards looking little Englander arse. My grandfather would punch u on the nose for the crap you talk
God bless you Sir.
Well done. Beautiful job.
Amazing man

Panda Fish Churchill would recognise your comments as that of a stupid ignorant fool. He was an empire builder, an empire that had more Muslims than Christians Fuckfeatures.
Nicholas Warner What? R u fucking dumb? If there was a majority of muslims in the empire no wonder it fell. islam is a disease that goes around ruining other countries cultures. anyone today would see u as someone dumber than a horse ass
You obviously demonstrate a horse's arse of an intellect if you didn't realise the debt owed to those countless millions who served the Empire, from India, Pakistan, Nepal they died in Europe in particular fighting at Monte Cassino. You, sir are a dolt, thickheaded moron. I thank You.
The ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688?
I’m ok to fight and die for my country. But when people just sit and allow another group slowly take over the country and nothing is being done this is the issue. Just remember I’m supposed to defend against foreign AND domestic
