Summary Of Prime Minister Winston Churchill's Speech
Prime Minister Winston Churchill's speech to the allied delegates
St. James's Place, London, June 12, 1941
What tragedies, what horrors, what crimes has Hitler and all that Hitler stands for brought upon Europe and the world! The ruins of Warsaw, of Rotterdam, of Belgrade are monuments which will long recall to future generations the outrage of unopposed air bombing applied with calculated scientific cruelty to helpless populations. Here in London and throughout the cities of our island and in Ireland there may also be seen marks of devastation. They are being repaid and presently they will be more than repaid.
But far worse than these visible injuries is the misery of the conquered peoples. We see them hounded, terrorized, exploited.
