Churchill Page #6

Synopsis: June 1944. Allied Forces stand on the brink: a massive army is secretly assembled on the south coast of Britain, poised to re-take Nazi-occupied Europe. One man stands in their way: Winston Churchill. Behind the iconic figure and rousing speeches: a man who has faced political ridicule, military failure and a speech impediment. An impulsive, sometimes bullying personality - fearful, obsessive and hurting. Fearful of repeating, on his disastrous command, the mass slaughter of 1915, when hundreds of thousands of young men were cut down on the beaches of Gallipoli. Obsessed with fulfilling historical greatness: his destiny. Exhausted by years of war and plagued by depression, Churchill is a shadow of the hero who has resisted Hitler's Blitzkrieg. Should the D-Day landings fail, he is terrified he'll be remembered as an architect of carnage. Political opponents sharpen their knives. General Eisenhower and Field Marshal Montgomery are increasingly frustrated by Churchill's attempts to stop

I need this speech

again.

Oh, apropos ...

Thanks, Smuts.

I have this message about the

Supervisor Arthur Clayton.

He landed with the first wave.

They were under heavy shelling,

but he fought with great

Courage and stood it through.

He is healthy and safe.

Oh my God...

Oh, and if you allow ...

He greets her heartily.

Have many, thank you,

Mr. Churchill.

Thank you, Miss Garrett.

IN THE SIXTH HOUR

OF THE SIXTH DAY

OF THE SIXTH MONTH

This is where the Prime Minister speaks.

First the news from the

major operation in France.

This glorious, airborne,

Land and sea.

has as a common effort

the Allied forces pushed the Nazis back

and liberation

Of France.

The crossing over the sea

cost substantially less losses

as feared.

The outstanding bombardment

our ships and aircraft

the German fire quickly reduced.

General Eisenhower's courage is all that,

what needs to be done.

Everything is ready,

as it was never ready,

and we are watchful

up into the fingertips.

A good sentence.

Last night the danger seemed very big.

This morning we have overcome them.

This great war against

the rule of the Nazis

is denied by simple people,

the soldiers, sailors

and flyers in the field,

and also those who are at home.

We defy Hitler with our perseverance

and our character

and our refusal,

Tyranny, oppression, and the

the darkest of the

History small.

This is not a war for fame,

this is a war for freedom.

The Germans will strike back.

We do not know,

where they will strike.

Your new flying

Bombs have no pilots.

Destruction,

through a soulless machine.

This is a weapon of cowards,

and cowards can not win.

We must meet her heroically,

as our soldiers do.

Just like these brave men

fighting on the beaches,

we must also at the

Homefront fight.

And when they return,

covered with fame,

we can participate in their honor.

Hitler tried again,

to threaten us with fire.

Four years ago he thought he can

force us to the knees with lightning.

He was wrong.

And now he is wrong.

Because we do not melt in the fire.

We are hardened by fire,

such as steel,

and come forth, strengthened,

ready for the fight.

Hitler has laid a fire,

whose flames cast him out

Europe.

Our troops will continue to fight

and the Allies will continue to fight

and I will continue,

until we are free.

We will never give up.

And I will never give up.

Oh, it would only be Scotch.

Oh well.

- Did you listen to the broadcast?

- Naturally.

You were wonderful.

I got me yesterday

Worried about you.

You got something ... really

Wonderful done,

when you have risen,

back on his feet.

- I do not know exactly whether that is so.

- At least it made the impression.

It never goes away completely.

Sometimes the color runs out of the

Picture and everything is gray and desolate.

And I can not force,

that it will be transformed again.

How does it look now?

Mixed.

But I have to live with that.

You know, I think I'm driving this

Weekend to Chartwell

and spend some time in the country.

Perhaps I paint something.

- That is a very good idea.

It has something like the sun

in the afternoon in the lake,

among the pastures.

This could be a harmonious sight.

- In color?

- Its possible...

- And what about the war?

- Oh, I think,

Eisenhower and Monty have this

already quite well under control.

I would understand it,

if you leave me.

I would leave,

if I could.

I do not want,

that you live with my edges.

Maybe we should

easy to open for each other.

- But you must not fight any more.

- I gave that up.

Are you serious?

The most important thing in a war,

if you think about it,

is that the people

really feel united.

Inspired, full of hope.

Maybe I'll write another speech.

I think I'm running a bit.

Are you getting along?

I'll manage.

I wish you success.
