No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.

They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won.

We shall not fail or falter; we shall not weaken or tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle, nor the long-drawn trials of vigilance and exertion will wear us down. Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.

The Home Guard overtopped the million mark, and when rifles were lacking grasped lustily the shotgun, the sporting rifle, the private pistol, or, when there was no firearm, the pike and the club. No Fifth Column existed in Britain, though a few spies were carefully rounded up and examined. What few Communists there were lay low. Everyone else gave all they had to give.

No, bury them in caves and cellars. None must go. We are going to beat them.

To achieve the extirpation of Nazi tyranny there are no lengths of violence to which we will not go.
