With Russia smashed, Britain's last hope would be shattered. Germany will then be master of Europe and the Balkans.

Shortly, we will be fighting our way across the Continent of Europe in battles designed to preserve our civilization.

First, separate ground, sea and air warfare is gone forever. This lesson we learned in World War II. I lived that lesson in Europe. Others lived it in the Pacific. Millions of American veterans learned it well.

There can be no revival of Europe without a spiritually great France and a spiritually great Germany.

The safety of the world requires a new unity in Europe, from which no nation should be permanently outcast.

Remember we shall never stop, never weary, and never give in, and that our whole people and Empire have vowed themselves to the task of cleansing Europe from the Nazi pestilence and saving the world from the new Dark Ages.
