Absolutely worth watching! Churchill was shaken by the appeasement of Chamberlain's party, when he was politely refused to ask the President of the United States for military supplies, and when the crazy Nazis were sweeping Europe and preparing to go straight to the British Isles. Before he went to Parliament and made the final decision, he secretly took the London Underground to communicate with the real British people. The little girl who was only 8 years old at the time said immaturely but firmly: "No, we have to fight to the end." At the Houses of Parliament , he gave the most important speech "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." "You ask, what is our policy? I say land, sea and air combat. Use all our Strength and all that God has given us to wage war and to fight a terrible tyranny that has never been surpassed in the dark and pathetic catalogue of human crime. This is our policy. What is our goal, you ask? I can answer in one word . This is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory against all fears - Victory, no matter how long and hard the road is, because without victory there is no survival. Let it happen. The British Empire did not survive, all that the British Empire stands for Without survival, without the urge to survive, without the urge of the times, mankind will move towards his goal."
