Here, for some perspective is some Albert Finley as Sir Winston, with Vanessa Redgrave as Clemmie, from The Gathering Storm, which relates Churchill's years in the wilderness, out of power when the whole world was melting.
Two scenes:
The third scene, "Winston is back!" is apparently true. When he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty that signal went out to all ships of the fleet.
Hitler eventually found out what that meant when King George asked him to form a new government as Prime Minister. It took him some time, though. Hitler should have paid more attention.
We are told that Herr Hitler has a plan for invading the British Isles. This has often been thought of before. When Napoleon lay at Boulogne for a year with his flat-bottomed boats and his Grand Army, he was told by someone, "There are bitter weeds in England." There are certainly a great many more of them since the British Expeditionary Force returned.
This is from the famous "We will fight" speech, immediately after Dunkirk.
An extraordinary account of those days' bravery was related by JB Priestley on the BBC. This iconic broadcast speaks for itself of the sacrifices.
