“At 4 o'clock this morning, Hitler attacked and invaded Russia. ... now I have to declare the decision of His Majesty's Government ...
We have but one aim and one single irrevocable purpose. We are resolved to destroy Hitler and every vestige of the Nazi regime. From this, nothing will turn us. Nothing. We will never parley; we will never negotiate with Hitler or any of his gang. We shall fight him by land; we shall fight him by sea; we shall fight him in the air until, with God's help, we have rid the earth of his shadow and liberated its people from his yoke.”
