Professional Clip 02: Winston Churchill, St. James Palace Speech

We cannot yet see how deliverance will come or when it will come, but nothing is more certain than that every trace of Hitler's footsteps, every stain of his infected and corroding fingers, will be sponged and purged and, if need be, blasted from the surface of the Earth. He may spread his course far and wide and carry his curse with him. He may break into Africa or into Asia. But, it is with us, here, in this island fortress, that he will have to reckon and settle in the end. We shall strive to resist him by land and sea. We shall be on his track wherever he goes.Our airpower will continue to teach the German homeland that war is not all loot and triumph. We shall aid and stir the people of every conquered country to resistance and revolt. We shall break up and derange every effort which Hitler makes to systematize and consolidate his subjugations. He will find no peace, no rest, no halting place, no parlay. And, if driven to desperate hazards, he attempts the invasion of the British Isles, as well he may, we shall not flinch from the supreme trial. With the help of God, of which we must all feel daily conscious, we shall continue steadfast in faith and duty till our task is done.
