The White Cliffs of Dover - Vera Lynn & Frida Boccara - Les Falaises Blanches de Douvres

(slide show) "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover" (written in 1941, songwriters - Walter Kent, Nat Burton and Norman Wisdom)
Vera Lynn - "The White Cliffs of Dover" (1st version - 1942, Accompanied By - Mantovani & His Orchestra)
(My mistake: The version in my slideshow was recorded later - in 1962: Vera Lynn With Tony Osborne And His Orchestra)
and
Frida Boccara - "Les Falaises Blanches de Douvres" (1969), French text - Eddy Marnay
(Excuse me, the sound quality of Frida`s song is very bad. But I have no other, it is a rarity.)

@gradeadouchebag It wasn't sheer luck. It was their confidence and very high morale, not to mention that their prime minister (Churchill) was an absolutely patriotic man whose speeches inspired an entire nation to never back down. And once the Royal Air Force started on the counter, the Germans and the Luftwaffe were forced to retreat, thwarting the plans of Operation Sea Lion.

and then there all shot down by the Luftwaffe, and how about German bombers, the battle of Britain, my point is the British won out of sheer luck

Imagine the bombers of the second world war flying back to England. Smoke coming out of the planes some spaces empty for a lot of casualties was normal in those days. Then from a radio inside the plane the voice of Vera Lynn welcoming the soldiers back to free soil. That's what i think about when i hear this song.
