"We shall fight them on the beaches" –
Winston Churchill
Churchill’s original speech includes this
phrase, but it’s usually taken out of context. What he actually said was, “We
shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them on the landing grounds, we
shall fight them in the fields and in the streets; we shall never surrender.”
The speech was made in the summer of 1940.
