On the 18th June 1940 Winston Churchill, Prime Minister for little more than a month, roused the people of the United Kingdom against the imminent threat of invasion. “This was their finest hour…” 2015 is the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. #BoB75

This is why I grew up speaking Dutch and not German (or Russian). A pivotal battle not only for Britain but for the entire world.
If Germany won the war, they wouldn't have forced anyone to speak German.
Same reason why I'm here and my Opa was free to travel to Australia.
My Polish grandfather released from nazi pow to flee to Uk and marry my grandmother. It is why I am here today god bless them all.
And that's why we speak English instead 😅(It's not bad or anything)
M@@Praktical_
I'm from the Netherlands. We shall never forget what you did for us.
He saved Europe sure...
Hail Britain
It wasn't us, it was our great grandparents and we are not worthy of our inheritance but thank you - the French seem to hate the English speaking countries more as a result. (Germany they rightly forgave but not 'the Anglo-Saxons' as they call us).
Pity they don't make speeches like this anymore. I love the way Churchill spoke.
HC , yeah, the way people make speeches, have..”changed” over time.

Well I mean, I should hope leaders don't have to make speeches to get through a war anymore.
*The way Norman Shelly spoke
People dont declare World wars anymore...oh no
I say this from India (which was a part of the empire at the time)
The British people exemplified the very best quality possible of a people in standing up to such monstrous tyranny against all odds. Alone. But the British kept keeping the chin up, firm and fighting on against all odds.
Winston Churchill was the exemplary leader who has such strength of character to stand and fight when the odds were the bleakest and in spite of his own party had lost hope and wanted to negotiate for peace.
Whatever Churchill felt about India I dont hold against him. he was a loyal subject and minister of British Empire and such was its policy. He is to be admired for his leadership and knowledge and courage and conviction. He saved western civilization.
The brave British lads on land air and sea who fought against all odds and fought with tenacity and courage...I salute them all. Bless them.
I am proud my ancestors fought as part of the British empire in its finest hour.
I fucking love you, finally someone who truly understands who he was, but does not forget the things he did, bro people shit on Churchill so much that they dont realise, had he not been priminister, the whole damn world would have been at risk, and would have been much worse
As an American, I have no room to speak in any direction on the actions of the British Empire, whether popular or unpopular, successful or unsuccessful.
I am grateful every day that the heroic soldiers of the British Empire (and especially the Soldiers of India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, amongs manyy others.) Were there to fight for the freedoms of people not yet born.
May we all once more join hands and sing songs of peace and brotherhood, as fellow humans, joyful and proud of all the best parts of humanity.
@Nmax The USSR was *far* more instrumental in the defeat of the Axis powers. Same for the USA, under the excellent guidance of FDR himself. Peace, dude :)
@@1JamesMayToGoPlease It was defiently more British than American but overall the Soviets did FAR more than either.
🫡🦘🇦🇺👍
And it was our finest hour. What a honour to be the descendant of such men and women 🇬🇧🏴
"And the life of the world can move forward into broad, sunlit uplands." I used the quote for a history paper in my senior year of college. That was probably my finest hour.
Is everything always about you?
who?
Pp
Nice!
We will REMEMBER them!! ALWAYS
BTW, God bless the RAF and the British people for hanging on. History would have taken a very different turn if they had failed and capitulated to Nazi fascism.

Never was so much owed by so many to so few
"Never was so much owed by so many to so few."
My great grandfather flew 40 missions over Germany for the RAF, flew a Lancaster bomber. Such a lovey caring man and never liked speaking about the war. It truly was their finest hour. Rest In Peace to all the soldiers who fought for our freedom
🫡🦘🇦🇺👍
Lest we forget.
Glory to the Heroes! Pilots of all nationalities, who fought in the Battle of Britain!
Marcin Hawrylo germans too..?

Including your comrades the Poles, Marcin
"...this was their finest hour. Whoa. Powerful oratory. Churchill was a master of the English language.
As a boy in school I was assigned to write a short paper about Winston Churchill. I knew almost nothing about him and protested to my grandfather, “why do I have learn about this old man?” “So you don’t have to learn to goose step”, was the immediate reply.
That is not only a genius response, but it really makes you understand why this man is one of the greatest in history.
🫡🦘🇦🇺👍
To your grandfather.
He could almost be Aussie - droll, succinct and laconic, but right.
Lest we forget.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
My favorite quote by any human..
🫡🦘🇦🇺👍
Lest we forget.
To this day, its still our finest hour. The few who fought overwhelming odds, outnumbered 4 - 5 - 6 to one powered by the words of Churchill was enough to throw back a very dark age.
80 years on there is still no greater memory to invoke to power our nation forward than by standing as best we can on the shoulders of all those great men who, by committing themselves to the impossible, achieved the impossible.
When my time comes, I'll shake the hand of every one of them.
Well said mate
Well said
Spoken like a true leader, not like the clowns we see everywhere in power nowadays
This gave Britain the courage to victory. It still motivates me today.

It was their finest hour.
Us british, we held our ground against German planes pounding us and destroying all we had, we held on
Thank you! Reading The Splendid and the Vile. Bravo!
Sad to think hes memorial was vandalised last year yet right now we need someone in goverment like him someone with some guts and commen sense

"Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty, so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealths last for a thousand years, men will still say: *This was their finest hour."*
I’d didn’t last for a thousand years 😢
@@aaronhitchcock3904 it's not dead, the commonwealth atleast
@@procrafter5000 of course but we don’t have the power we since had but one day I hope to see it for my own eyes
@@aaronhitchcock3904 not to get political, but we need a new navy, and military strength; if we can do that and pass Brexit to become the top dog in Europe, we may well return to what once was
What a man. "Cometh the Hour Cometh the Man" so lets take some time to yet again honour this incredibly determined and brilliant leader. A man who could create phrases that moved a Nation at war to ever more strength and determination. A man whose words were probably as powerful and damaging to Hitler as any Lancaster bomber Squadron....
And in so doing honour the 'Few' who stood up and were counted amongst the bravest of the brave. Men who looked Hitler in the eye and faced him down. This was the first of many great victories along with further defeats. But we stood alone and remained free and in so doing kept the light of hope and freedom burning for those in Europe who had given in.
What finer postscript to that magnificent Summer of 1940 than Churchill's later words:
"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few..."

DAMN STRAIGHT 💯💪👌👍👏✊👊🇬🇧💪🇺🇸💪💯
A truly powerful speech
Most of the pilots were kids, no older than 23 years old. They were often flying far below the recommended amount of rest due to Britain having not enough pilots to defend its shores. Every single one of them are the greatest people ever.
but crucially they got that rest and could teach others when experienced enough, german fighters would have to constantly be in the air hence the best aces were often german
@@milo5395 That’s absolutely false for the Battle of Britain, the opposite is true.
Britain was outnumbered and had 2/3 what Germany had.
On average German pilots were having significantly more rest per week than British pilots.
That’s a well known fact.
Lest We Forget😢
It is not forgotten and we still love our British allies. Politicians have lost the ways of the people. Europe is in despair once more.
He was the most important FIGURE in history!
Thank you, Sir Winston!
I am an humbled Austrian!
And you, and you allone, and youre brave Allies, fremd US , from the Nazipest
I was listening to this for a school project, I knew most of it but I still needed to listen to it, and I don't think I can say with words how emotional I feel watching this, he said it him self,
"This was their finest hour", R.I.P to all that died defending their homes, we will remember ❤️
I never knew darth vader supported the allies
Very moving❗️🇬🇧
People today don't realize how everyone thought the Germans would invade England at that time. Churchill was EXACTLY the man the nation needed at that time. Anyone would doesn't feel their pulse quicken in parts of this speech has no soul, considering it played a direct part in the defeat of fascism. "There are no good wars," people say. Tell that to the people of Europe who were saved by this man and the nation he led, along with the other allied nations.
He may not have been perfect, and by all means wasn't the best man ever. But. He saved this nation, Europe and the world from facist rule
@@feydespiel. I will never forget, and due to the sacrifice my nation, and my ancestors made, I will never turn my back on the United Kingdom and the monarchy, and vow as a welshman to stand united in the face of any threat, and as Vladimir Putin nears NATO territory, and thus our territory, I feel we must all put aside our differences to not allow our fathers, grandfathers and great grandfather's sacrifices in 1940 to become in vain. Liberal or traditionalist, socialist or capitalist, man or woman, straight or gay, orthodox or athiest - not only as Brits, but as Americans, Canadians, Poles, Germans, Swedes, Estonians, Frenchman, Italians, Spaniards and all of those who stand against the Putinist threat. Rule Britannia, and Slava Ukrayny!
@@elliswellington4553 thanks for being grateful. Hitler almost over run the world. If not for the boldness of UK . The world was gone. France surrendered like a coward.
Thank you for posting this!
This was their finest hour
A Hero for Democracy against Tyranny in any Age & Time.
When I was in Air Cadets here in Canada (205 Collishaw Sqdn), I was proud to march in the Battle of Britain day parade, even though it was only our squadron, and the Sea Cadets as well, if I recall correctly!!
Churchill....cometh the hour cometh the man...
some men rise to the occasion, inspiring.
The man ran towards every war that broke out. From the boer war, to the trenches of ww1, to leading the UK in defeating the nazis in ww2. A leader that gets his hands dirty is a very rare thing indeed.
It was our finest hour but we then went and tarnished it by selling the Poles out at the end of the war. The Polish airmen were among the finest that fought in the Battle of Britain! Their heroism must always be at the forefront of our minds when we think of those that died in that battle to make the world free for those that followed. It was one of the crucial battles in history that changed the course of history for the better.
My uncle was a bombardier in the RCAF during WW 2 and was shot down twice but managed to get back into the battle each time to fight again. He had one of the most difficult fights but never gave up. Unfortunately, his experiences affected him for the rest of his life and he was not the same person when he returned from the war.
This gives me chills.
I translated this speech into Polish and memorized it to help master Polish, not an easy language. It sounds no less powerful in Polish, even despite there being more words and syllables, and it would certainly sound equally as powerful in numerous other languages as well. In any language, it would warm the cockles of my American heart.
Now we know where "the battle for helms deep is over, the battle for middle earth is about to begin" came from. lol
Honor to all have fought and sacrificed so much just to keep us safe, honor to those who seemed to face the impossible but kept fighting :')
❤
Words still matter. Speaking matters. Speeches move. Moves us to higher ground. Upon his breath of life as gliding upon the Eagle's wings above the ugliness and bitterness of the old world, we soar into the countenance of hope on the tips of her wings. We face terrors that freezes souls. We shall overcome not in the absence of fear, but in confrontation of it we gain something far greater than bravery. We gain courage.
Brave souls shall meet their fate, many unkind and unfair. Each death is a tear that we much catch to plant in the ground for life everlasting. We must believe, in the least, that courage lives forever. For we shant survive a breath without it in the coming years.
Great peroration to a great speech.
Look at the politicians we have now and compare to this giant. How the world, not just the UK, need a leader we can all believe in now.
Good ol Winnie!!
Great work, are you doing others?
A new dark age is upon us. Our grandfather's defeated evil and bought peace to the modern world. Yet, in that peace we have found none. The circle of violence seems to be repeating itself.
God help our children in the world we have created.
He mobilised the English language,” Halifax replies despondently, “and sent it into battle.”
This was their Finest Hour
Battle of Britain
Damn right
Do I have permission to use this in a 40 second clip?
Please my I use this speech for my scale RC Plane unboxing of the Spit this weekend 🙏🏻
Another great Englishman said it first “Here was a Caesar:When comes another”?
As a side note, "The Lights of Perverted Science" would make an excellent band name.
Now all given away….

Idk why someone'd dislike this
Also who else came here after listening to 'The Few' of of Horrible Histories?
Just me? Okay.
Say what you want about them, but the Brits actually saved the world.
No pressure lads
Remember this bravery and actions from 70 yrs ago, as we too must fight tyranny and stand our ground against not just from foriegn enemies from distant lands (China and Russia). But domestic ones currently on our home shores, who proudly wave communist flags (Greatest of which Chinese for some reason BTW) who've proclaimed their allegiance to BLM or ANTIFA. Who are no better than Mussolini's thug Black Shirt Fascists, or Hitler's Brown shirted Henchmen, or the cowardly Taliban or the ISIS scum who pray on innocent people.
They all hated America and swore to destroy her. They brought violence, looting, arson, discourse, lies, propaganda and murder to they're own lands to quench they're thirst for power in blood and misery. Then reached out and tried to engulf the world.
And what does ANTIFA and BLM bring to.the table with them? The same exact rhetoric and hate.
Even Himmler had to admit the Great Man wasn t without talent as a speech writer.
What does the opinion of a chickenbutcher mean?
Thank God for the Jews. For I am one and a Christian one at that.......................
Is this the actual speech?
From my understanding he recorded this speech after the war for posterity, but this sounds different from that one.
🤘🏻🙂 🇬🇧
1:25
Can someone tell me what is the purpose of this speech?
An look how Europe treats us now
Houston he got a bruh moment :/
Thank God for the for the the Royal Air Force
He was a man and half.
What was it all for
1990s
This island is so divided by ethnic religious and ideological lines now, it would be impossible even for Winston Churchill to rally the people to such a cause.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is analogous the the Nazi attack on Poland. And all I have seen is endless whining about ‘muh tax money’ and pro Russian comments from non Anglo British citizens especially south East Asians and Africans.
My patriotism died long ago, our culture is being extinguished, our royal family is considered ‘terribly white’, statues of the great Churchill being defaced, our ancestors gave their lives in vain to protect these lands from a foreign invasion, thanks to the ‘cultural enrichment’ we were all told we so desperately needed, this country is but a mere shell of its former self.
I die every time knowing how us young people forget, and disrespect those who sacrificed all for a generation that mocks them
Ukraine is just as corrupt if not more so than Russia. They overthrew the fairly elected president in 2014 because he was sympathetic to Russia. America's current president and his son had shady buisness dealings in Ukraine, Ukraine government did bad things to the majority ethnic Russian populace in Donetsk and nearby areas.
Ukraine in terms of it's government is not the victim but part of the problem. Shameful that the government of Ukraine's corruption led to this war. Russia is not innocent, not by a long shot, but they are not the demons the West make them out to be
Ah yes, even Churchill is saying something about the Ukraine....
Can anybody explain to me how this in any way could be seen as homophobic cus my friend thinks it is but I seriously can't see it?
Jimbo I’ll second that
It ain’t
He's a fuckwit, but maybe it's the reference to Christian civilization
This speech could have been said last week just change Hitler to Islam. 🇬🇧🏴🏴
All for nothing in the end
Hey, this speech is almost as good as one of Obama's! 😉
And so comes Trump...............................
