Winston Churchill's wartime speeches to the House of Commons, and radio addresses, on Youtube
[Note they were delivered to the Commons or to radio originally in 1939-45, then re-recorded in Decca studios in 1949. The originals, although suffering from hiss and pops, were delivered in livelier fashion.]Top of PageA miracle of deliverance ... we shall fight them on the beaches ... (after Dunkirk, 10') Their Finest Hour
Churchill's famous speech delivered on June 18th 1940:"What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. 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."Compilation of BBC radio recordings of original wartime speeches, [livelier than 1949 re-recordings in studio]
