The War File - Churchill's War (DVD)

"Victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terror. Victory however long and hard the road may be." - Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill suceeded to the highest office amidst turbulent and extraordinary events. In the early 1930s his powerful warnings about the dangers of Nazi fanaticism had been dismissed as alarmist, but by the time he became Prime Minister, on the afternoon of May 10th 1940, his grimmest forebodings had been proven all too true. Western Europe was a cauldron of war. German divisions poured effortlessly into Holland and Belgium and had begun turning for the French frontier. The prospects for Britian and her new war leader were inconceivably black. French intelligence estimated that Britian could withstand a German onslaught for no more than 3 weeks. Hitler's forces had enjoyed unbroken and astonishing success, leading the highest levels of power in Britian to believe that Hitler could not be beaten. Churchill alone never faltered, announcing to the British people that his aim was "Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror; victory however long and hard the road may be".
