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.

A few short years after the war Britain surrendered to the 3rd world when HMS Windrush arrived with a load of immigrants from Jamaica. And they have yet to realize the full extent of their lose.

What’s your problem with immigrants you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about 😂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@@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 RU-vid 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.

@@archivesoffantasy5560 ...of course, he had the best from both...

Even dead, he has enemies.

Why?

Hitler, Churchill, stalin all belong to the same category, "war criminals".

I would say more than a disgrace, but an affront to the whole country of that period and to the freedom we have inherited from his leadership.

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

As a fellow American, I agree 1000%

Great Britain is our brother

thats cap

Don't forget Carl, Winston Churchill was half American.

@@adamdriver1016 Wut? No way?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well his mother was American so in a way he’s an honorary American

Rosida Andriyana Pardon?

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.

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE AIRFORCE

Sheer grit and determination their generation are a different breed

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.

@Lang Hansen bad food system built up over generations and the fact thag Japan was invading Bengal, destroying infrastructure.

@Lang Hansen Because its real, they were and are still breeding too much

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.

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

Sacrificed half a million British lives, the whole British Empire and all of Britain's gold, so that Germans could get rid of fascism and prosper under the blessings of American style democracy. What a generous man Sir Winston was.

Other empire's fall due to war, revolutions, famines, plague and ect. The british empire fall to save the world from the fascist.

Nahhh…Israel at the beginning of the 6th day war was…

The allies weren't really on their kness though.. Realistically a German invasion was never possible, and they knew that. It was Germany that was the underdog here, the UK had a whole Empire, and plenty of Allies they could call in. Germany had only what they have taken, and the few allies that pledged their loyalty, and very finite resources. Compared to the allies, this speech would make far more sense given by the Reich chancellery, and it was. It was just forgotten. Because they lost.

@@nukni4225 That is the MOST propagandic British Statement I have ever heard lmao! This was absolutely not about Fascism. It was still just another power struggle. The UK and France have always fought against German hegemony with all their strength. For as long as they have existed as a nation.

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.

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.....

Bruh Lmao

Dunkirk called and said no

@@jamrocks464 the british got away

Polushka polye~

URAAAAAA

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?

It certainly have hitler those goosebumps.

Ironic

That's a remarkable thing Jack. The German experience after WWII is something I find fascinating and impressive in so many ways. I just wonder if this political self-negation of this most intelligent of peoples has gone too far.

@@jimmyhillschin9987 they are not most intelligent of peoples they are ordinary peoples and peoples are mostly dumb in general

you are an inspiration to so many with this statement

I'm 73 and remember, too.

I'm only 17, and thus have a much more restricted perspective on events, but I have a great respect for him and his achievements. He certainly wasnt perfect, but as far as I can make out, he was exactly what Britain needed at the time

Yes he was a great Man seeing not only threat of fascist regimes but communist regimes also I'm sure he viewed the fall of USSR. God bless men of vision. " Britannia rules the waves. "

Im not even english and I feel the same way good sir - This man was a giant, a perfect knight in a time when darkness took its hold on Europe.

@@Ragnarswe Thank you Ragnar.

Would the liberals, conservatives, and socialists come together today to fight a common enemy? No chance. This country hasn't never been this divided since the English Civil War.

@@stuartcolwell5045 Always feels that way, until the moment of crisis comes. I think you'd be surprised what your nation is still capable of, if it was asked to do it.

@@stuartcolwell5045 In reality, when cornered, the British unite and fight intelligently (radar, Battle of Britain) and with terrible vengeance (Dresden firestorms). Then as soon as the peril has passed, resume bickering amongst themselves. Think about a brother reacts if you attack the sibling he constantly quarrels with.

@Sassysim Not like he requested that the princely states give any food they have in surplus to the Bengal region, which they all refused to do so, or anything,

Humans are tribal, they'll find ways to create division in a group of 10, until they find a bigger common enemy to unite against. If aliens invaded tomorrow, the world would unite together as one, if not then we'll likely declare whatever foreign power is enemy number one for xyz reasons and go on merrily on our way to world war 3.

Lol...proud for what...he starved 3 million Bengalis to death...but it don't matter as Majid killed 1 million Jews who were Europeans....we it's due to Majid that all of our countries are now free... Take a bow.... desrespect from India

@@ashutoshkumar1960 as if India actually matters. Hahahaha

@@ashutoshkumar1960 if it wasent for churchill the uk would never have survived and germaney would never have been defeated and the Americans and russians would stand alone with all of the uk and her colonels gone

He killed 2.1 million Bengalis ... doesn't sound human to me...
