The text of Churchill’s first broadcast speech as Prime Minister, originally published in periodical form in The Listener of 23 May 1940.

“…Behind the Armies and Fleets of Britain and France - gather a group of shattered States and bludgeoned races: the Czechs, the Poles, the Norwegians, the Danes, the Dutch, the Belgians - upon all of whom the long night of barbarism will descend unbroken even by a star of hope, unless we conquer, as conquer we must; as conquer we shall…”
