STEP 3 THE SPEECH

WE SHALL FIGHT THEM ON THE BEACHES

« a week ago from today, Mr Speaker, I feared it would be my hard lot to announce the greatest military disaster in our long history.The whole root and core and brain of the British army seemed about to perish on the field or to be led into an ignominious and starving captivity ..

Suddenly the scene has cleared.The crash and thunder have for the moment but only for the moment died away.

AUDITION B

ɔːˈdɪʃ(ə)n biː 

A miracle of deliverance achieved by valour , by perseverance is manifest to us all.And the royal navy with the help of countless seamen , using nearly a thousand ships of all kinds , had carried over 335,000 men out of the jaws of death and shame in their native land.We must be very careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory.Wars are not won by evacuation.Our tankfulness at the escape of our army and so many men whose loved ones have passed through an agonising week, must not blind us to the fact that what has happened in France and in Belgium is a colossal military disaster.

AUDITION C

ɔːˈdɪʃ(ə)n siː 

We are told that Herr Hitler has a plan for invading the British Isles.This has often been thought before.I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty,if nothing is neglected and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home and to outlive the menace of tyranny, and if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

AUDITION D

ɔːˈdɪʃ(ə)n diː 

Even though large tracks of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.We shall go on to the end.

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 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 !
