75 Years ago today: In the aftermath of the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from the beaches of Dunkirk, recently-appointed Prime Minister, Winston Churchill gave his famed "We shall Never Surrender" address to the House of Parliament.
The most-famous part of Churchill's speech: His concluding sentences:
"We shall go on
to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and
oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in
the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, 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."
