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.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, "This was their finest hour."

In may of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun The germans had the biggest ships That had the biggest guns The Bismark was the fastest ship That ever sailed the seas On her deck were guns as big as steers And shells as big as trees Out of the cold and foggy night Came the british ship the Hood And ev'ry british seaman he knew and understood They had to sink the Bismark the terror of the sea Stop those guns as bid as steers And those shells as big as trees
We'll find that german battleship That's makin' such a fuss We gotta sink the Bismark 'Cause the world depends on us Hit the decks a-runnin' boys And spin those guns around When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down
The Hood found the Bismark and on that fatal day The Bismark started firin' fifteen miles away We gotta sink the Bismark was the battle sound But when the smoke had cleared away The mighty Hood went down For six long days and weary nights They tried to find her trail Churchill told the people put ev'ry ship a-sail 'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be We gotta sink the Bismark to the bottom of the sea
We'll find that german battleship That's makin' such a fuss We gotta sink the Bismark 'Cause the world depends on us Hit the decks a-runnin' boys And spin those guns around When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down
The fog was gone the seventh day And they saw the mornin' sun Ten hours away from homeland The Bismark made its run The admiral of the british fleet said Turn those bows around We found that german battleship And we're gonna cut her down
The british guns were aimed And the shells were comin' fast The first shell hit the Bismark They knew she couldn't last That mighty german battleship is just a memory Sink the Bismark was the battle cry That shook the seven seas
We found that german battleship Was makin' such a fuss We had to sink the Bismark 'Cause the world depends on us We hit the deck a-runnin' and We spun those guns around We found the mighty Bismark And then we cut her down
We found that german battleship Was makin' such a fuss We had to sink the Bismark 'Cause the world depends on us We hit the deck a-runnin' and We spun those guns around We found the mighty Bismark And then we cut her down

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-inarms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely. But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory! I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good Luck! and Let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
