Speeches of Winston Churchill
Speeches of Winston Churchill. November 12, 1939. MS of Churchill seated while giving a speech. "We have been agreeably surprised that ten weeks have been allotted to us to get into fighting trim. We are in a very different position from that we were in ten weeks ago. We are far stronger than we were ten weeks ago. We are far better prepared to endure the worst malice of Hitler and his huns than we were at the beginning of September. I shall not attempt to prophesize whether the frenzy of a cornered maniac will drive Herr Hitler into the worst of all his crimes. But this I will say without a doubt, that the fate of Holland and Belgium, like that of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Austria will be decided by the victory of the British Empire and the French Republic." Edit "And with the British Empire around us we shall fight on, unconquerable, until the curse of Hitler is lifted from the brows of men. We are sure that in the end all will be well." Churchill Voiceover continues over various WWII battle scenes.
