Just got back from "Darkest Hour."

19. Here's Churchill's speech on that occasion.

I suspect that few here have actually heard it. Granted, there was no recording in the Houses of Parliament at the time, so this is a recording made after the war by Churchill from his notes. Thankfully, Sir Winston wrote his speeches and practiced them ad nauseum, so when he stood in the well of Parliament he knew exactly what he would say. His notes nearly precisely echoed those words.

This is one of those astounding events in history which can only be related by somebody of Churchill's stature. At a time when Britain stood alone against a conquered Europe, it is an extraordinary pronouncement of resolve.

Every one of us should listen to what was said then. We can learn much.

Hope you enjoy this extraordinary speech.
