Britain at War in Colour - 'The Darkest Hour' - part 4

[albion2742]

Although Russia had many people killed by Germans Stalin killed as many of his own people and also slaughtered many Polish servicemen.

[celticlofts]

@TheSoulSearcher1: The Russians lost 20 million people in total.. 10 million in action and 10 million civilians .. The Jews lost 6 million total. China lost 15 million between the years of 1933 to 1945.

[kevphillips02]

I find it heartbreaking to think we were once such a proud nation and look at us now.This country is not what it was 70 years back .

[kevphillips02]

@TheSoulSearcher1 I have to disagree hitler himself was a one of the most amazing speakers ever. Hitler captivated his audience in the same way freddie mercury was able to do when staging a concert.

[kevphillips02]

We were once such a proud nation. Sadly we are now like a third world country with mosques dominating our sky lines.

[666lonny666]

@TheSoulSearcher1 we've lost our Backone in this once great nation.

[SongsofInnocence]

children in cages?? haven't hear of that...

[AmfleetII]

To say Churchill is a communist is to ignore the entire era of the Iron Curtain.

[Zeropointbug]

Fuck you Churchill communist Zionist bastard.

[albionjq]

@Zeropointbug you are a jerk stop playing with your self little boy

[Zeropointbug]

@albionjq Well only a skinny little runt would flame at someone 6 months after someone makes a comment. Pussy, you are nothing but a pussy, you have always been, and always will be a pussy.

[englishman2000]

@Zeropointbug you are a brainless moron,grow up

[goj09dale]

theres a whisper on the wind there will be another like wc and once again britain will rise to the challenge

[Cool2BCeltic]

0:38 A timeless view of Edinburgh. Only the plumes of smoke from the steam trains going in and out of Waverley date it.

[Hochdorff]

Churchill is among the greatest man ever walked this earth!

[BumbleBeeInABluebell]

And that speech is the most moving and inspiring. What a gift that man was to the world at that time!

[dannylomas25]

Thank god for that Channel! Mananged to stop the Germans in their tracks for a few years, until they were left tired and weary from fighting on to many fronts, then we pushed them right back to Berlin!

[Dieselpunk1945]

Gordon Brown doesn't quite have the same gift for oratory does he?

Great times, great men and all that.

[starkersboy]

Yes but cometh the hour cometh the man... thank fuck for Barack Obama - and he certainly does have those oratory skills, there is no denying that!

[cont. from prior]

"When the bombers got back to their base, the steel cylinders were taken... back to the USA, where factories were operating night and day, dismantling the cylinders, separating the dangerous contents into minerals. Touchingly, it was mainly women who did this work."

---Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut

[chawk111]

War in reverse:

"The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers, and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The Germans below had miraculous devices of their own... They used them to suck more fragments from the crewmen and planes..."

[melvinceltic]

all oi am bein is a blinkin noo sance........haha, like it - artful dodger isn't it!

[bigdltsr]

i respect the british..imo they are like the old master watching the pupil evolve into something it could not have imagined

the old master still deserves credit..right?

[DerBlitzStag]

Yes, who would've thought it.... India the 12th richest nation in the world!

[UKromany]

@DerBlitzStag Yup...thanks to them Viceroys!

[gyshalom]

the brits are not the french! they meant buisness.the krauts would not get a delight out of sacking britain.thats why hitler didnt invade.he figured england was not worth the price needed to be paid to sack her.his eyes were on the big prize for him:russia.thats why he thought to make peace with great britane.thank god the limies stood their ground.probably saved humanity they did

[amarsbarr]

I would love to throw hitler around a room, and keep doing it till he's bleeding all over, then stamp on his face!

[richarddr1234]

I'm a Filipino. The brits invaded my country back in the late 1700s!

[mycal64]

Pity they didn't stay there then.

[richarddr1234]

The Filipinos and Spanish teamed up to get the British out actually. The Filipinos were loyal to the Spanish and the Catholic Church and the British never had the strength to subdue the whole place.

[mycal64]

I just wonder what kind of place the Philipines would be now if Britain had been the major influence and not Spain. You might have had a world class cricket team!

[DanWelshy86]

Fuck the Filipinos, they chose to be backwards and poor....I mean look at India and Pakistan? why do you think they are the prominent forces in the middle east?

[doofus02]

You talk like you know Filipinos.

[cptoronto06]

i'm american but have always considered the Brits my fellow countrymen. what a great country...God's country to be exact.

[bartez111]

cptoronto06, what a great comment. I am sick of all the Brits and Americans slagging each other and their efforts off. Its stupid, particularly now moreso than ever when the US and UK are still fighing wars together. God Bless the USA and the UK! (Aswell as Canada Australia and New Zealand.)

[billsimpson1983]

We shall defend our island whatever the cost my be. We shall never surrender. Proud to be British!

[kevphillips02]

@billsimpson1983 Unfortunately with our government we would be more likely to defend other nations. If it came down to defending our country i think the cuts would apply and we would welcome out little foreign invaders with open arms. We would probably have no need for military as the open arms would welcome the invaders so much that they would probably be given council accommodation and benefits to go with it. Sounds crazy but not far of what has happened.
