Winston Churchill - Their Finest Hour Speech - Complete

Since no one has uploaded the full Finest Hour speech, here is the entire 30 minute long speech. Well worth a listen.

[@JeffOates]

There is nothing more moving than this speech. The United States was not involved, the USSR was supporting Germany. All of Europe was against the UK. Still, Winston Churchill, a man of the past, a man who will soon be displaced, stood alone and firm against the Nazis. He was one of the very few who suffered the distinction of being right. Truly, he was The Great Man.

[@shaughnfourie304]

THANK YOU I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CHURCHILL FOR HIS COURAGE AND WE NEED SOMEONE LIKE HIM NOW AS URGENTLY TO SAVE ALL WE LOVE IN OUR CIVILISATION

[@gailraby1722]

not all of Europe was against Britain... it was Germany and Italy, you should try reading a book about the second world war, you were correct A-merica was not involved in fighting, in fact on the day Britain declared war on Germany a terrorist organization funded by the US of A was bombing buildings on main land Britain. .

[@gailraby1722]

World War 2 was fought between two groups of countries. On one side were the Axis Powers, including Germany, Italy and Japan. On the other side were the Allies. They included Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Soviet union, China and eventually A-merica.

False. Axis falsifications: Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Thailand, and many puppet states such as Vichy France, Croatia, Slovakia, Mengjiang, Manchukuo, etc. Allied falsifications: No such thing as India at the time, must be referring to British Raj, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, Greece, and Yugoslavia.

Great Britain stood alone against overwhelming odds. On her own she put a halt to operation Sea Lion! She retained mastery of the air against vastly superior numbers. How critical this victory was is often underestimated... Had she fallen, the process of liberating Great Britain along with the rest of Europe would have come at the loss of uncountable additional lives... She gave the world a sense of pride and optimism that this war was indeed winnable! God bless Great Britain! I'm an American.

+Elberiver11 The Germans did not bring us to the brink of collapse. The Battle of Britain handed air superiority to the RAF and prevented an airborne invasion of Britain, and the superiority of the Royal Navy made a sea invasion unlikely. The British were fighting on many fronts, East Africa, South East Asia, North Africa, South Asia, Europe and later even the Pacific, and yet we still kept fighting. The Americans did lend a much-needed helping hand, although to say that they saved Britain is up to debate.

I am embarrassed too. But think about times in America, we just fought through the bloody WWI, the Great Depression hit us, and at the time Hitler started his shit we had people destitute and in soup lines. I can understand a majority saying, we already saved their asses once (joking) do we really need to go over there and do it again! Let them handle it. We were smuggling weapons to England as in WWI in the Lusitania. Roosevelt wanted us to declare war sooner but Congress and the populace wouldn’t allow the it. Japan quickly changed our countries attitude by their cowardly act. (There are is a theory that Roosevelt knew of the impending sneak attack before it happened and allowed it to happen to turn popular sentiments to war. I doubt it but maybe he did.). Regardless NEVER AGAN! England and the US are inseparable allies. Attack one, you attack both.

You really believe what you write. Sorry to tell you this: Churchill gave order to kill thousands and thousands of german civilians by area bombings, if you think it was okay to kill civilians, i will tell you this, he led half a generation of young british men into the death and changed british society. For what, for Poland, which he pretty quickly forgot and left it to the Russian. Do you believe the tale that Hitler wanted to conquer the island. No, England declared war on Germany and Hitler had to act, had to install a front against England. - Churchill started WW2 only to keep the Versailles Treaty from 1919 up with the land grab. German land was stolen and given to Poland, the homes of millions of simple people were stolen but Hitler (the official bad guy) wanted to change this.

Speech gave me patriotism, comments gave me cancer Edit: I now disagree with this statement, the speech is good but Churchill was still a racist imperialist and we shouldn’t forget that

[@draathelvete8332]

You already had cancer.

[@EdMDiv]

It is incorrectly attributed to Churchill, but it applies to the comments here, "The Best argument against Democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."

[@MrAitraining]

Then bask in your cancer and ignorance. Here'a another truth comment: Churchill was the main war monger and left Britain broke and without their empire by supporting communist USSR against Germany. Germany had no intention to go to war with the UK.

It's surprising in hindsight how relatively honest he was about the odds and the chances of overcoming them.

[@WMJCPA]

Probably the greatest Prime Minister England has ever had.

[@Dyl482]

The last prime minister of the real british empire? You call that being a good prime minister? This piece of ridiculousness fucking puts the british empire and france inbetween the upcoming war between National Socialism and Communism? Why? This deluded man thinks his empire so powerful, it can simply put Germany down easily and save communism for -some reason- ?

[@WMJCPA]

RebirthWoWGuild It wasn't that he saw the British Empire so powerful to simply destroy Germany, in fact he knew this would be a long hard fight. What he did do is understand that the Nazi's were the enemy at that time, Fascism was the enemy of the free people of the world, and it had to be defeated. He did not save Communism, he was equally appalled by that ism as well, but as fate would have it, he found himself on the same side as the Soviet Union as did we. It's cliché but true, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Later, Churchill was the only one of the world leaders to see the coming evil of Communism, and yes that was for a different war. I started out with a disdain for Churchill for other reasons, but as I learned more about the man and the times of WWII and what he had to overcome, I developed a great respect for him. Let's not forget that for a time, England stood alone against the evil of the Third Reich, all of their allies had been defeated and we were not yet in the war. They faced it alone and they were all that stood between Hitler and world domination. Think of it, half of the world speaking German, the other half speaking Japanese with the United States turned into a slave labor camp half German and half Japanese. Don't laugh it could have happened. That is why I see the greatness in this man.

[@Dyl482]

***** Churchill didn't have to * overcome * anything. He was a spoiled brat, his mother gave him an allowance bigger than his pay cheque. I'm sure if youve studied his history you know that right? A selfish careerist, writings of racism in his battles as a british soldier against FOREIGNERS in THEIR native nation to subject them to the british empire. Hitler, went to through homelessness, worked labor jobs, a lot more struggle of a life than Churchills and learning to overcome selfishness as he himself lived as the bottom peasant for awhile. Churchill doesn't know struggle in life, and he doesn't know struggle in politics. Hitler literally turned an unknown party of 7 members, through his political,debate and pureness in his speaking he grew into the monumental political party in germany. Over throwing Capitalism legally. Granted his power by both the President, the army, and the majority of german elected officials. Over throwing capitalism legally has never been done, communism always through coup/illegal means. And then National Socialism both started to out preform Britian economically and militarily. The british empire.....seeks to establish its dominance as is its way with the peoples of the world it ruled over. It is too bad the british forget too easily that germany is also prime denizen of western civilization as well and not some push over poor third world nation. See the difference between national socialist racism and british imperialistic racism is that national socialism was removing foreigners/internationalists such as jews and gypsies. British went to foreign nations and forced them to be their subjects. Natsoc germany can be proud that they ended the largest empire in history and freed many nations. Ironic isn't it? India can thank natsoc germany. my nation of Canada can only thank it once we truly do reclaim our nationalism.

[@WMJCPA]

Well I guess now I've heard it all. No wonder you moron revisionists are ruining the world for everyone that has an ounce of common sense left. To say that Nazi Germany somehow did the world a favor is like thanking Charles Manson for somehow cleansing society of a spoiled starlet Sharon Tate. Makes about as much sense. I never saw a single note where Churchill undertook genocide against any race of people, but Hitler did or are you going to deny that as well. Hitler was evil plain and simple there is nothing else to say he was an evil tyrant suffering from the worst case of narcissistic personality disorder until the present day. Whether Churchill was a spoiled brat or not is between him and his parents that means nothing to the world. If he was one then I say give us a few more like him. For the life of me I cannot understand the disdain that people have today for the privilege of living in a free society. You better take heed because this too may be fleeting. Incidentally, if I am not mistaken Canada was granted independence back in the late 1800's. If you have a problem with your own nationalism it is likely because you hooked onto your southern neighbor and hung on for the ride. We have carried the ball alone with little help from anyone. So take a look around, you may not like the world you think you would like to see.

[@Dyl482]

***** * whether churchill is a spoiled brat or not means nothing * uh yes it does he fucking was the one who sent the declaration of war are you implying the character of such a powerful man does not matter? Same with FDR, FDR was born a millionare. Part of the roosevelt family. Both churchill and fdr only ever lived as one class, the millionare class with no struggle. And as for Stalin, Stalins power came through coup and then the mass killing of government officials and army generals. Indeed of these 4 significant leaders, most people can only relate to one of them. Hitler. Do you disagree? How many of us get an allowance from our millionare parents that is more than our annual wage * churchill *? How many of us are born into one of the most powerful families in the nation*FDR *? How many of us rob banks and farmers to fund our political party* stalin *?

Althoug I couldn't speak englsh, Churchill voice was so strong that I asked my mother to translated it, Some days after another friend of my family had a translation of this speech. I read it and although I couldn´t understan much of it, I remember the sense of is words, Some years later I read it and since that day my admiration for Mr Churchill as an example for a politician and man of state has never declined.

In my humble opinion…Sir Winston Churchill was without a doubt the GREATEST and FINEST Prime Minister EVER in the history of the British Empire. His speeches and courageous leadership, along with the COURAGE of His Majesty King George VI were the driving forces that held the country together, and inspire the citizens to keep on keeping on. Too bad the world currently lacks such leaders today. 💥🤞🍀👍🙏😇
