Being able to turn fear into courage in the face the most hopeless odds is the purest form of love for your country.
For your homeland and your people, your family and your children's future.
This speech is better delivered than the original.

@@davidpryle3935 they had a massive air force which could assist
@@maxmel1778 They had indeed. But I don’t think an invasion of Britain was ever feasible because of the massive superiority of the Royal Navy.

"we shall defend our island whatever the cost may be!" - that was truely the most heartwarming sentence of his speech!
Yeah defend it from the one who offered peace 19 july 1940. Nonsense. England's "victory" resulted in losing all its empire...
The way he said "Our Island!" gave me chills. It is their island because they have given it a thousand years of British blood, sweat, and tears. One of my favorite movies
@@cccccccc135 you do know who is and WHY "the one" offered peace to britain?
@@theonkelneico6995 Hitler, of course. Offered it because he never saw Britain as an enemy, the opposite is true. He wanted to take back east german territories and in the middle run expected an inevitable war against communist Russia.

What made this speech even more impressive is the fact that it was before the German invasion of the Soviet Union and America's entry into the war. Britain was alone against the most powerful army in the world at that time.

“We shall never surrender.” A quote that will never leave me.
From the siege of Londonderry 1689 and repeated at The Battle of The Somme (36 Ulster Division) in 1916 'No Surrender'
No surrender is edged into the British psyche.
Immune system in your body during covid be like 3:01
It's interesting that we hold up 'never surrender' as a good thing, when in reality the logical extension of such a position is that a leader is willing for an entire nation, men women and children to be fodder in a war. I get the 'gut' feel that such statements can give to bolster troops.
@@DanielVerberne It works when you don’t start the war and aren’t the aggressor, for sure, it was totally apt in the case of Sir Winston using it.
As an American, it is this speech that will always give me strength. English, Welch, Scottish, or irish..... a nation United against true evil. Steadfast against the worst of humanity in a time where utmost evil is ready to claim its jaws on the world and at the time, it was one nation united that showed the world it would fight. May Churchill live on.
Except Ireland is and wasn’t a part of the UK
@@VetrixOfficial oh, so people from Northern Ireland are not Irish ?
@@VetrixOfficial The few small insignificant men within Southern Ireland's local executive may not be part of the UK, but many within Southern Ireland's populace volunteered to join the British Armed Forces to fight against tyranny. At a time when De Valera, the head of Southern Ireland, wanted to appease and submit to Nazism.
And the Northern Irish? The people of Ulster are some of the most patriotic in the world. Their pride is proven and warranted.
@@shredtildeath777 they are, but saying Irish would include all of Ireland
@@jamesg9468 I get your point, and although many joined the British armed forces, that doesn’t make us British.
The easiest way to trigger an Irishman is to call them British.
My great grandfather served in the British army in WW2 so I know many left to join
The decision to keep fighting alone with no victory in sight is what made him extraordinary. Cant imagine the guts it took to not sue for peace.
The British will rather die than surrender
The British
The only people who can make waving bits of paper look intense.
i must try this with some paper in my spare time while cheering to see if this is true or not.
But first a cup of tea as encouragement. maybe listen to Primeminister Churchill's speech as well.
Those are handkerchiefs.
Basically there's a rule or a convention that says you're not allowed to clap your hands in the house of Commons so they have to wave papers
i want you to look up the flag at iwo jima
Yes..............No other people could make it look that intense.....but at the end of the day we meant it.............and fought with such determination and ferocity, even the Japanese honoured us with the name "Muteki"."invincible warrior".
Me: I promise I won't get all Political
3 drinks later:
Hahaha, imagine waking up with a hangover only to see that you somehow declared war on Germany last night.
Considering Churchill drank more alcohol for breakfast than most of us do in a week, I'm gonna say that's a historically accurate description.
I'm convinced his slurring manner of speech was because his blood counted as 80-proof wine.
This is too acuratte
Hitler quit rage the plan .
Good job mates .
As an American, it is strange that one of the proudest feelings I have for my own nation is not by speech by an American, but by a Brit, saying with prophetic understanding and insight, the last line of this speech: "Until in God's god time the New World, with all its power and might steps forth to the rescue of the Old". This was so true, so necessary, yet we over here did not see it until it was almost too late. Thank God that we did! God bless Britain, and God Bless the United States! Allies and friends forever!
😂
Yes, but what Churchill didn't understand was that we Germans were or are absolutely not interested in the UK. The UK died in its anti-German hatred, which the English had harboured long before 1914. A nation that ran a genocidal empire for centuries, covered up all its crimes and could only be stopped in two wars. Today, the British are where they belong. At the bottom and only just beginning to come to terms with their many crimes.
Well, better late than never
@@spnhm34we were helping before we got involved directly. The destroyers for bases act gave the British 50 naval ships
Canada was also supplying Britain, even before the Americans "officially" entered the war. Canadian destroyers guarded the lifeline of ships crossing the Atlantic. They carried Canadian food, Canadian munitions, and Canadian troops. And many of the pilots who defended the skies during the Battle of Britain were Canadian.
And yes, we had help from the United States, even when the US was officially neutral. American pilots drove their planes across the border (drove, not flew) and left them for the Royal Canadian Air Force. And many American servicemen enlisted with the Canadian military before the United States offically declared war.
Very few people in the world have had a speech like this...where you announced the fact that it was you, your nation alone against the "End of the World". He was incredible, not without flaws but still incredible.
This wasn't an address to Parliament. It was a promise to the world.
Meester Writer beautifully said.
Nice pfp

@@MichaelJ44 Of course I forgot radios hadn't been invented and speeches weren't re-read later on. My bad.
British parliament was not broadcast until the 1980s on radio only and TV later.
My Grandfather never forgot that speech. It was one that stuck with him, even through Alzheimer’s. He fough on the beaches, he fought on the landing grounds, in the streets, and the hills.
That is powerful, made me tear up, respect
Well, not exactly on the beaches, landing grounds, streets or hills Churchill refers to.
@@unscentednapalm8547 but he did fight, in streets, ion landing grounds, and and the hills.
@@letsgoblue9596 how? he had alzheimers
@@Aduysvmncmkouyf Thats what we don’t know, he had Alzheimer’s, forgot almost everything. The almost being the war, er, both wars. He did forget most things about them, but the songs stuck with him. Whenever I would visit by him he would always sing God Save the Queen on some days, and Deutschland Hymn on the others. The last song he ever sang was It’s a Long Way to Tipperary. It did and always will bring me to tears.
Crying, and I’m an American. Much love and solidarity to our closest ally❤
Heartbreaking that in 20 years if we call upon them for solidarity, we will be responded to in not English, but Arabic. England as we remember them has fallen
This speech is awesome. This movie was awesome.
Also American. I think we like Churchill more than the Brits do as a general rule haha.
But he had such a command of the English Language. I read a lot and still to this day, after hundreds of books by the best writers in the world, it's the words of Churchill that have the most power.

Gary Oldeman brings this speech to life. Other actors and even Winston himself give a dry delivery.

I couldn't agree more. I prefer to listen to this version instead of the original.
@@user-kvartz-a8 the 'original'....isn't the original.
It was recorded in 1949 for posterity.
The speech he gave in the commons was far more impassioned by all accounts and more importantly.
It was NOT broadcast.
The original wasn’t dry. It wasn’t recorded, the recorded “original” by Churchill was apparently much less passionate than he was in the commons
How would you know how Winston sounded. What you here and all here is a recording. The real speech was never recorded for security reasons. All films are over dramatic or no 1 would watch them. The train scene did not happen for example.

RIP Sir Winston Churchill (November 30, 1874 - January 24, 1965), aged 90
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Winston Churchill wil not be remembered as a "good" man. Nor will he be remembered as a "bad" man. Men like Churchill are too complex for these labels.
But he will certainly be remembered as the right man.
After all, he was the man that turned the world's darkest hour into Britain's finest.

That's "great" that the British won WW2 with the help of the US and then continued to commit crimes in their colonial empire.
I come back to this often as it is so uplifting and inspiring. The movie is a masterpiece like almost every Churchill movie.

I love his line about The New World stepping for to the rescue and the liberation of the old. IT was both a rallying cry to his people, and open invite, full of praise and respect, for the US - who was ambivalent about the war at the time, to come in on the side of right. To do the right thing. To help old friends, and build a new world together.
It's powerful stuff. And we should remember something really important.
It worked.
To be fair: public opinion was beginning to swing in May 1940 in favor of supporting the allies against the german threat. Opinions were of course still diverse, but you could see that the events in France and Britain slowly started to make their mark on public opinion and FDR worked hard with his administration to swing the public opinion even further, without loosing approval. It took another year, but in May 1941 public opinion was mostly for supporting the allies with lethal aid (e.g. Lend-Lease Act) even though only a minority was willing to send troops to Europe.
I think part of the reason that his speech works so well is because it includes a lot of parts of the British Empire. He acknowledges the British Navy, the "Empire beyond the seas," the island and their proud heritage, etc.
Ambivalent? The Roosevelt administration was pushing hard for our entry.
I can remember as a child hearing that speech 4 the first time and knowing that at the time the UK was totally alone against the awesome German juggernaut and even though I didn't really understand it I listened to it in school. And when I here it as an adult i site there in awe great Britain was so lucky to have that man at that time leading them most men would have surrender thank God he did not!

The guts, the confidence, the raw emotional power, the complexity of his words, the determination, never giving up, when everything is against you, going to the end, against all odds. A speech to combine it all, this has to be one of the greatest speeches of all time, the situation at hand was too serious. Coming out on top in the end.

@Megas Pantelos I would urge you to read more on the subject. I don't want to tell you you are wrong, as everyone should have there own opinion. However, even the earnest of Churchill's critics would easily admit Churchill's individual contribution to the war was rather substantial, if at times damaging. To suggest that the Soviet contribution is 'the only thing that changed history' is to make an incredibly facile statement.

One of the most magnificent performance by an actor I have ever seen on the screen.
The scene symbolizes the forces of good with their back against the wall, unleashing fury upon the forces of evil in the world. No other choice but to fight for all that is good.
To grasp the magnitude of Churchill's words you'd have had to have been there at that time.
- The most powerful standing army in the world which has rampaged across the whole of Europe is barely 20 miles away.
- You are completely alone (empire nations excepted). Your main ally the French have just been comprehensively out thought and cut to ribbons by the blitzkreig and your army barely got out alive. You have virtually no heavy weapons left. The country is wide open.
- Your air force is hugely outnumbered and facing almost overwhelming odds against a battle hardened Luftwaffe.
- You have no idea how you are going to defeat the enemy and frankly don't have the capability to even think about it. All you can hope for is to hold out and pray. Victory is a crazy dream.

He also mentioned U.S.A. where if the British empiree were to fall then they would carry on the fight.
Sainte Jeanne d'Arc 1429 and for good reason. Who held Europe against the axis. France? Oh wait they were knocked out in the space of a few weeks and surrendered. Half of modern France was ruled by Britain for centuries. Your “country” is somewhat a bit older than the USA, with probably as little culture. Before a few centuries ago you were squabbling duchies and before that some naked tribes running away from the Romans. Agincourt was a joke. So yeah. We have justification.
@Sainte Jeanne d'Arc 1429 You don't seem to deny anything I pointed out. At least we can agree that America is a cultural cesspool- devoid of anything cultural.
lol olol the reason you think America doesn’t have culture is because much of our culture has spread to the rest of the western world. We are the biggest producers of entertainment, which made it easy for our culture to spread. Each state, and often the larger cities, in the US has its own culture and history. Our country is set up in a similar way as the Europe Union. You have to think of each state as almost a separate country.
Wiston Churchill was not a good man. Some may even say that he is a bad man. But, no one can ever deny that he was a Great man.
I wouldn't say he was bad. He saved Britan and possibly the free world.
Edit:he was to complicated of a man do simply pin down to "good" or "bad".
@@richardroberson2564 Certainly. He's also responsible for the death by starvation of 3 million Indians.
@@SamyTessier It has been disproven a million times that he caused that.

When I feel low or feel like something cannot be done I listen to this clip. It lifts me up every time without fail.
It was amazing how he was almost without any support and how the king himself was wary of him. That visit by the king the night before in which he gave him his full support was a good prelude to meeting the people and, ultimately, this speech. I almost cried when I watched this part. Seeing him garner the full support of Parliament after being almost fully alone was amazing. What a great story in our world’s history. Oh, to have men (and women) of that caliber in leadership today…
Neville chamberlain's speech fills people with dread.
Winston's fills people with determination and hope
Proud Portfolio And Trumpius' drivel?
Macsen Wledig So Hitler didn’t start WWII, but Tyler Kent did? 🤣😂🤣
Ironically many think Churchill saved Britain but he may have actually destroyed it. Had Neville Chamberlain simply surrendered, the British would have needed to swallow their pride and make a few adjustments but now they would be much better off (with no immigrants).
Chamberlain is sitting there like, "You win, Winston. I give up."
Chamberlain in retrospect did alot behind the scenes to prepare for war. He effectively stalled as long as possible to get industry ready for war.
He was well liked on the domestic front that Churchill appointed him (and trusted him) to run home affairs whilst he dealt with foreign policy and the war cabinet.
And now some people want to tear down statues of this giant...
Im from Australia and have more respect for British history then a lot of its current inhabitants
Churchill was 5foot 6.
(Please realise that this is a joke and it's sad that I feel I have to clarify before making one but that's the world we live in/the internet)
There's only one Winston Churchill 💪
Exactly.
The Defender of Democracy in Europe.... So sad how people rewrite history.....
As a french, thank you. Churchill is a great man. He, at least fought till the end, he at least recognized that the french were needed and that they played a great role in Dynamo
Nothing says "You are needed and play a great role" and "we are here to liberate you" better then some pressuring of France (and other nations) to not proceed with peace with Germany after being pushed back to their country after briefly invading Germany via Saar, like some liberating indiscriminate and unrestricted terror bombing campaigns across France/Europe and the civilian populations/cities (such as Paris) that killed more French civilians then British civilians from Germany's bombing in retaliation to Churchill's back to back night bombings against German civilians for three months, or sinking French ships filled with citizens and military personel. Justifying it as "necessary to prevent Germany using their ships to reach Britain." Even though Hitler forced his generals to stand down and let the British at Dunkirk evacuate and return to Britain when Germany could have completely destroyed the trapped soldiers, continued the war by invading a nation that is weakened in strength when they abandoned their equipment at Dunkirk and had to use civilian ships to evacute the British soldiers. Or, captured the stranded and surrounded British troops as POWs and use them to make demands from Britain. Which he never made any demands from Britain or France. The "threatened" people of Britain faced no threat from Germany. Before the war, France also faced no threat from Germany until it invaded Germany. Nor the neutral nations that were used by the Allied powers to launch their invasion of Germany, by invading (in the sense of an unwanted presence of another country's military) those neutral nations. Hitler would have no need to defend his people from invasion by premptively striking and catching them offguard in these countries and pushed them back to their respective countries, if the Allied powers didn't disregard their neutrality and brought the war to their country.
"Since the (British) bombardment of Friborg these objectives are open towns, market places and villages, burning houses, hospitals, schools, kindergartens and whatever else may come their way. Until now I have hardly had any reprisals.
That does not mean this will be or is my only reply. I know that our answer, which will come some day, will bring upon the people unending suffering and misery. Of course, not upon Mr. Churchill, for he no doubt will already be in Canada where the money and the children of those principally interested in the war already have been sent.
For millions of other persons, great suffering will begin. Mr. Churchill, or perhaps others, for once believe me when I predict a great empire will be destroyed, an empire that it was never my intention to destroy or even to harm.
I do realize that this struggle, if it continues, can end only with the complete annihilation of one or the other of the two adversaries. Mr. Churchill may believe this will be Germany. I know that it will be Britain.
In this hour I feel it to be my duty before my own conscience to appeal once more to reason and common sense in Great Britain as much as elsewhere. I consider myself in a position to make this appeal, since I am not the vanquished, begging favors, but the victor speaking in the name of reason. I can see no reason why this war must go on! I am grieved to think of the sacrifices it will claim.
I should like to avert them. As for my own people, I know that millions of German men, young and old alike, are burning with the desire to settle accounts with the enemy who for the second time has declared war upon us for no reason whatever. But I also know that at home there are many women and mothers who, ready as they are to sacrifice all they have in life, yet are bound to it by their heartstrings.
Possibly Mr. Churchill again will brush aside this statement of mine by saying that it is merely born of fear and of doubt in our final victory. In that case I shall have relieved my conscience in regard to the things to come." - Hitler. July 19th, 1940.
"The blood of every single Englishman is too valuable to shed. Our two people belong together racially and traditonally. That is and always has been my aim, even if our generals can't grasp it." - Hitler. On the evacuation of Dunkirk.
"It has come to war. I have done everything within my power here. Everything a man could possibly do, almost to the point of self-abasement to avoid it. I have made offer upon offer to the English. I consulted their diplomats here and pleaded with them to be reasonable. But nothing could be done, they wanted war and they made no effort to disguise it. For 7 years, Churchill has been declaring: "I want war!" I regret that these two peoples must fight with each other, whom I wanted so desperately to bring together. I extended my hand often -- in vain. They wanted this war, now they shall have it! The German Volk will see this fight to the end. The German Volk want to have peace finally. It wants a peace that allows it to be left alone and to work and which does not allow international scroundels to agitate among other peoples against us! These are the same vermin that make their fortune through war. I have no reason to wage war for material considerations. For us, it is but a sad enterprise: it robs us, the German Volk and the whole community of so much time and people. I do not possess any stocks in the armament industry, I do not earn anything in this fight. I would be happy if we could go back to working, like I used to work for my volk. But, these international war scoundrels are at the same time the armament industry's greatest black marketeers! They own the factories! They make the business! They are the same people we had here earlier. I do not desire to wage war but if it is forced onto me, I will wage it till my last breath! I can wage it today because I know the entire volk stand behind me! When this war is over, Germany will begin a great undertaking. A cry of "Arise!" shall echo through the German lands! Then the German volk will abandoned the production of cannons and will begin the labors of peace and rebuilding work for the mass millions! - Hitler.
“We ask no favor of the enemy. We seek from them, no compassion. On the contrary, if tonight the people were asked to cast their votes as to whether a convention should be entered to stop the bombing of all cities, an overwhelming majority would reply ‘No, we will meet out to the Germans, the measure and more then the measure.’” - Churchill.
While British politicians that demanded peace and stopping the bombing of civilians in Germany were silenced in various ways, while citizens that did the same were jailed, and the German officials that risked their lives to fly West and personally hand Hitler's peace offer just to be arrested and thrown in isolation to be forgotten about.
"Imagine the people that say: Oh, in this country there is someone in power who is not to our liking. Therefore, we will just have to wage war against it for the next three years! Naturally, we won't wage it ourselves but we will search the world for someone who will wage it in our stead. We will provide the cannons and grenades to him and he will provide the grenadiers, the soldiers, the men. What recklessness! What would they have said of us had we at one point, stood up and declare: We do not like this regime in power: for instance, let us say France or Britain. Therefore, we will force war upon it now. What utter recklessness! To drive millions of people to their deaths because of that!? There is a conspiracy against the people in this world that knows no scruple in regards to their own people, only selfish desires for themselves and their social class. Let there be no doubt as to one thing: We shall pick up the gauntlets. We shall rid the world of this conspiracy!" - Hitler
Churchill was in debt by the millions before being appointed as Prime Minister. He was chosen because he is a warmonger, his favorite past time was to force their non-white compatriots in Africa and the Middle East to submit to Britain's rule by dropping bombs, using concentration camps to place natives of the continent/country in and starve them to death, 20,000 plus Africans dead. After the war, he was a multi millionaire. I imagine his net worth today would be much higher.
"I am taking on this battle at last. And I am taking it on with the same determination that which I always take on battle: Fight to the very last! They wanted it, they shall have it! They want to destroy Germany from the air! I shall show them who will be destroyed! The English civilians, for which I only have sympathy for, can thank the common criminal Churchill for this! Mr. Churchill, with this war, has started the greatest military nonsense for which any warlord or leader has ever been responsible! He is fighting a war that will, in one way or another, destroy England!" - Hitler. September of 1940 (Not long after Hitler forced his generals to let the British evacuate) , announcing Germany's retaliation after 3 1/2 months of Hitler pleading for peace with Britain and not retaliating in kind. Dropping leaflets containing English translation of his "A Last Appeal to Reason" speech over London and other Britain cities while the British RAF continued to bomb German civlians at night because they couldn't penetrate Germany's air space, beginning in March of 1940 with the British RAF bombing civilians in Dresden, but picked up significantly in August 1940.
Between 1939-1945, the allied powers dropped 3.4 million tons of bombs. Much more greater then Germany’s. Hitler and Chamberlain agreed to no bombing warfare against any civilian population. Hitler was against the use of bombing warfare and detested it. Churchill rejected that agreement upon his appointment to Prime Minister.
"When the signal is given, the whole circle of avenging nations will hurl themselves at the foe and batter out the life of the cruelest tyranny which has ever sought to bar the progress of mankind." - Winston Churchill
Gary Old man’s performance is so outstanding that it feels like Churchill came back to play himself.
@@arianbehnami1050 How could you know that? There was no audio recording made at the time. The public knew about the wording from quotes made by BBC announcers in 1940. Churchill made a record of these wartime speeches post-war, in 1949.
@@arianbehnami1050 Recorded later.
@@arianbehnami1050 There were no microphones in the House of Commons until at least 1950.
ALL of the audio recordings you hear were made later.
The audio for the speech still wasn't the actual main speech Churchill made to The Commons. What's on RUclips is either the Commons recorded archive done in the 1950's, or a saved recording of the same speech broadcasted on British Radio after the meeting. Either way, Churchill didn't have a need to do a fiery speech on sound recording, he just needed to get his point across for scholars and/or his countrymen.
Whether the actual speech given to Parliament was as boastful as it was on this recreation is lost to time, but I do imagine a mix of both -- as Churchill was a bit old and pudgy at this time, which could hinder the flavour a bit as he delivers his greatest speech.
Oldman has played a terrorist, Dracula and Churchill all with utter believability. That’s talent. Regarding Churchill, someone I can’t recall said…Winston marshaled the English language and sent it to war. True.

Churchill was like a classic actor in a crucial historical play: the stage was a great European capital, the lighting effects were searchlights & incendiaries, the sound effects were bombs and anti-aircraft guns and the audience was posterity (and FDR).
If necessary for years, if necessary alone. As an Englishman, those words mean so much.
impressive.
Same as a Welshman. Once again, I’m assuming that an English person actually means British.
Welsh Ed Yes!
bigkev73 how so?
I’m not English but American , his words bring tears to my eyes. I know what the United Kingdom was going through at that time. Thank God Great Britain and the free world had such a leader as Winston Churchill. He was truly the greatest man of the 20th Century.

@@thegherkinator an imperfect hero is better because a hero is a human, and humans arent perfect.

We have blood ties, my friend as we fought together against a force that would have crushed society. So did people in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia and dozens of other countries across the world.
Thanks mate.
Best wishes Stephanie.
If I were American it would give me goosebumps too. Hail the moment when the traitor Churchill decided to turn over the British Empire to the USA without a fight and deviate its formidable military and industrial capacity against an enemy who had never been nor intended to become a threat to it. Well done, Sir Winston.
@@nukni4225 Churchill isn’t a traitor comrade, he sacrificed the empire for a greater good. Either a Brit rules the empire or the empire shall fall all together.
Such powerful acting. Gary Oldman commands an audience at once!
Churchill was not a saint and he made some big mistakes, but he was just the man Britain needed in this darkest of hours.
People want to tear down his statues. He chose to continue the fight against Hitler even after he was offered peace because he understood the evil he faced. One of the heroes of the free world
haha a hero is a bit of a stretch. He wasn't so heroic for people on some parts of the world. But I don't condone this rabid "cancel culture" that's tearing down statues and all.
yeah the hero who hoped Mahatma Gandhi died in the british policy induced bengal famine that killed 3 million people. did not allow grain to be unloaded cause he wanted to create reserve stockpiles in Britain.never really paid back war debt owed to India.
The main reason he did not want to surrender was because he was bankrupt and was put back into stature by bankers on the one condition that he would never surrender, you oaf. Churchill was a severe sell-out, just like the empire was.. claiming they represented "peace" whilst killing millions simultaneously in their colonial dominions.
@@e-dating He offered india and other places independence, he just wanted india to help us because they were the only thing in the way of japan meeting germany from the east and west of them. But any and all country's apart of the empire chose to join the war of their own accord, nobody was forced.
@@aryaaswale7316 I'm a Dutch guy. I hope India will never receive a penny. You do not deserve it. India is not a hair better than the old British Empire. You killed perhaps even more people. Besides that, the people who did this and the people who suffered are all dead. You just want easy money!
He mobilised the English language and sent it to battle.
Charles-Olivier Denis poetic..beautiful..
well said.
We didn't have anything else to be honest
he despised the working class
he sent thousands of working class men into certain death and yet because of he had a good command of the English language he has some how become a hero, if he was a hero why did the British public deny him a place in government.

WE WILL NEVER SURRENDERRRR
What a powerful speech. Salute from a Frenchman.
As an American I get very proud at the end when he calls on the new world to rescue and liberate the old. We have fallen very far from the days when we would unite and mobilize as a people to defend the ideals we were built on. I sincerely hope one day we can find our way back.
Please take it from an Englishman, that no matter the circumstance or cause, no mater the cost in lives lost or power amassed remember that the Brittan is behind you and with her comes her sons your brothers and we a family that has stood against the tyranny's of the world twice, will gladly raise our spears and bend our body's to the task of defense from any tyranny that would seek to drive us apart.
God save the Queen!
God help us... we’re doing a great injustice to our forefathers who have so much to establish these beautiful lands.
From the words of the King: "Go to the people, they will tell you their mind". So it has always been. Churchill understood that. Too many now fail to listen to the people. The people are the strength of the nation. To subvert it always leads to downfall and failure. History is a relentless and uncaring teacher, one ignores her at dire peril. Churchill studied and understood history as it was. That was his strength.
God bless, you sir, and God bless America. Our 2 nations have been through so much together; truly, we are not exaggerating when we speak of "the special relationship".
it's too late. democracy has failed us
The US named one of their ships ‘USS Winston Churchill’. You can really see this mans influence on the world
And the navigation officer MUST always be British.
And in the future, we shall name one of our human spaceships “Winston Churchill”. In the event of an alien invasion, it shall defend our planet, whatever the cost maybe.

In response to the original comment, that's correct. USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81) is an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer in commission with the United States Navy.

“Then, our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet” this fragment, undoubtedly, is the fire that turned the spark on. Touching the strings of the purest British pride.
Such a grandest orator who put the English language in motion into war.
Battered, bloodly, and nearly broken, the British people in all their pride entrenched themselves and sent a message to Mr Hitler, stating "we can do this all day".
"He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle."
Random fact: it wasn't coined the "Battle of the Atlantic" until Admiral Donitz first radioed the line "The Battle of the Atlantic has begun" to his U-boats following Canada's declaration of war (Canada which, despite then-numbering only eleven million people, would be one of only three nations directly responsible for D-Day landings and would field the third largest navy in the world by the end of the war).
@@speakingofreality4886 O Canada which would later freeze bank accounts of brave truckers and their single mother supporters
It's also extremely correct. Germany actually never stood a chance they just got lucky in the start. Churchill is just reminding everyone.
This is the finest example of the English language at war. Heart stirring.
This physically gave me goosebumps. hahaha
He mobilized the English language and sent it to war.
Mosley was the superior orator and not a sIave of the bankers like this drunkard.
Not the "St. Crispin's Day" speech in Henry V?
Was that actually said during the conflict, or is it Shakespeare's genius after the effect?
When he said “new world” that put chills in my spine
I don't know all of the speeches of all of history, however I know a lot, and I can be sure to say, this speech is the most emotive,most motivating and in my opinion the most important speech of all time. Thankyou for everyone who fought in the war for what we have today. And thankyou for everything 🇬🇧❤️
The ''We shall never surrender'' gave me goosebumps
The interesting thing about that passage: in that paragraph "surrender" was the only word he used that was of Norman French derivation (though there were a few words like "ocean" and "subjugated" that came from Greek or Latin by other routes).
As it was intended to, I'd assume

In dark times the character of a man will resurface. Only challenging moments can accurately define what one stands for, because courage is always easy on paper, but when the moment of choice comes, very few stand for their well-crafted words.
