以下是溫斯頓·邱吉爾的著名演講內容：
"We Shall Fight on the Beaches. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender. And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God』s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."
這段演講的內容是，無論付出何種代價，英國及其帝國都將戰鬥到底。他們將在海灘、登入場、田野、街頭和山區作戰。即使英國或其大部分領土被征服並陷入飢餓，英國海外帝國的人民，在英國艦隊的武裝和保護下，也會繼續戰鬥，直到新世界在適當的時候出現，拯救並解放舊世界。
