LOOKING FOR REAL HOPE AND CHANGE?
"IF WE
DON'T LEARN FROM HISTORY, WE'RE DOOMED TO
REPEAT IT" GEO. WASH.
We Shall Fight on
the Beaches
June 4, 1940
House of Commons
Prime
Minister Winston Churchill
The
position of the B.E.F had now become critical As a result of a most
skilfully conducted retreat and German errors, the bulk of the British
Forces reached the Dunkirk bridgehead. The peril facing the British
nation was now suddenly and universally perceived. On May 26, "Operation
Dynamo "--the evacuation from Dunkirk began. The seas remained
absolutely calm. The Royal Air Force--bitterly maligned at the time by
the Army--fought vehemently to deny the enemy the total air supremacy
which would have wrecked the operation. At the outset, it was hoped that
45,000 men might be evacuated; in the event, over 338,000 Allied troops
reached England, including 26,000 French soldiers. On June 4, Churchill
reported to the House of Commons, seeking to check the mood of national
euphoria and relief at the unexpected deliverance, and to make a clear
appeal to the United States.
From the
moment that the French defences at Sedan and on the Meuse were broken at
the end of the second week of May, only a rapid retreat to Amiens and
the south could have saved the British and French Armies who had entered
Belgium at the appeal of the Belgian King; but this strategic fact was
not immediately realised. The French High Command hoped they would be
able to close the gap, and the Armies of the north were under their
orders. Moreover, a retirement of this kind would have involved almost
certainly the destruction of the fine Belgian Army of over 20 divisions
and the abandonment of the whole of Belgium. Therefore, when the force
and scope of the German penetration were realised and when a new French
Generalissimo, General Weygand, assumed command in place of General
Gamelin, an effort was made by the French and British Armies in Belgium
to keep on holding the right hand of the Belgians and to give their own
right hand to a newly created French Army which was to have advanced
across the Somme in great strength to grasp it.
However,
the German eruption swept like a sharp scythe around the right and rear
of the Armies of the north. Eight or nine armoured divisions, each of
about four hundred armoured vehicles of different kinds, but carefully
assorted to be complementary and divisible into small self-contained
units, cut off all communications between us and the main French Armies.
It severed our own communications for food and ammunition, which ran
first to Amiens and afterwards through Abbeville, and it shore its way
up the coast to Boulogne and Calais, and almost to Dunkirk. Behind this
armoured and mechanised onslaught came a number of German divisions in
lorries, and behind them again there plodded comparatively slowly the
dull brute mass of the ordinary German Army and German people, always so
ready to be led to the trampling down in other lands of liberties and
comforts which they have never known in their own.
I have
said this armoured scythe-stroke almost reached Dunkirk-almost but not
quite. Boulogne and Calais were the scenes of desperate fighting. The
Guards defended Boulogne for a while and were then withdrawn by orders
from this country. The Rifle Brigade, the 60th Rifles, and the Queen
Victoria's Rifles, with a battalion of British tanks and 1,000
Frenchmen, in all about four thousand strong, defended Calais to the
last. The British Brigadier was given an hour to surrender. He spurned
the offer, and four days of intense street fighting passed before
silence reigned over Calais, which marked the end of a memorable
resistance. Only 30 unwounded survivors were brought off by the Navy,
and we do not know the fate of their comrades. Their sacrifice, however,
was not in vain. At least two armoured divisions, which otherwise would
have been turned against the British Expeditionary Force, had to be sent
to overcome them. They have added another page to the glories of the
light divisions, and the time gained enabled the Graveline water lines
to be flooded and to be held by the French troops.
Thus it
was that the port of Dunkirk was kept open. When it was found impossible
for the Armies of the north to reopen their communications to Amiens
with the main French Armies, only one choice remained. It seemed,
indeed, forlorn. The Belgian, British and French Armies were almost
surrounded. Their sole line of retreat was to a single port and to its
neighbouring beaches. They were pressed on every side by heavy attacks
and far outnumbered in the air.
When, a
week ago today, I asked the House to fix this afternoon as the occasion
for a statement, I feared it would be my hard lot to announce the
greatest military disaster in our long history. I thought-and some good
judges agreed with me-that perhaps 20,000 or 30,000 men might be
re-embarked. But it certainly seemed that the whole of the French First
Army and the whole of the British Expeditionary Force north of the
Amiens-Abbeville gap would be broken up in the open field or else would
have to capitulate for lack of food and ammunition. These were the hard
and heavy tidings for which I called upon the House and the nation to
prepare themselves a week ago. The whole root and core and brain of the
British Army,on which and around which we were to build, and are to
build, the great British Armies in the later years of the war, seemed
about to perish upon the field or to be led into an ignominious and
starving capacity.
That was
the prospect a week ago. But another blow which might well have proved
final was yet to fall upon us. The King of the Belgians had called upon
us to come to his aid. Had not this Ruler and his Government severed
themselves from the Allies, who rescued their country from extinction in
the late war, and had they not sought refuge in what was proved to be a
fatal neutrality, the French and British Armies might well at the outset
have saved not only Belgium but perhaps even Poland. Yet at the last
moment, when Belgium was already invaded, King Leopard called upon us to
come to his aid, and even at the last moment we came. He and his brave,
efficient Army, nearly half a million strong, guarded our left flank and
thus kept open our only line of retreat to the sea. Suddenly, without
prior consultation, with the least possible notice, without the advice
of his Ministers and upon his own personal act, he sent a
plenipotentiary to the German Command, surrendered his Army, and exposed
our whole flank and means of retreat.
I asked
the House a week ago to suspend its judgment because the facts were not
clear, but I do not feel that any reason now exists why we should not
form our own opinions upon this pitiful episode. The surrender of the
Belgian Army compelled the British at the shortest notice to cover a
flank to the sea more than 30 miles in length. Otherwise all would have
been cut off, and all would have shared the fate to which King Leopold
had condemned the finest Army his country had ever formed. So in doing
this and in exposing this flank, as anyone who followed the operations
on the map will see, contact was lost between the British and two out of
the three corps forming the First French Army, who were still farther
from the coast than we were, and it seemed impossible that any large
number of Allied troops could reach the coast.
The
enemy attacked on all sides with great strength and fierceness, and
their main power, the power of their far more numerous Air Force, was
thrown into the battle or else concentrated upon Dunkirk and the
beaches. Pressing in upon the narrow exit, both from the east and from
the west, the enemy began to fire with cannon upon the beaches by which
alone the shipping could approach or depart. They sowed magnetic mines
in the channels and seas; they sent repeated waves of hostile aircraft,
sometimes more than a hundred strong in one formation, to cast their
bombs upon the single pier that remained, and upon the sand dunes upon
which the troops had their eyes for shelter. Their U-boats, one of which
was sunk, and their motor launches took their toll of the vast traffic
which now began. For four or five days an intense struggle reigned. All
their armoured divisions-or what Was left of them-together with great
masses of infantry and artillery, hurled themselves in vain upon the
ever-narrowing, ever-contracting appendix within which the British and
French Armies fought.
Meanwhile, the Royal Navy, with the willing help of countless merchant
seamen, strained every nerve to embark the British and Allied troops;
220 light warships and 650 other vessels were engaged. They had to
operate upon the difficult coast, often in adverse weather, under an
almost ceaseless hail of bombs and an increasing concentration of
artillery fire. Nor were the seas, as I have said, themselves free from
mines and torpedoes. It was in conditions such as these that our men
carried on, with little or no rest, for days and nights on end, making
trip after trip across the dangerous waters, bringing with them always
men whom they had rescued. The numbers they have brought back are the
measure of their devotion and their courage. The hospital ships, which
brought off many thousands of British and French wounded, being so
plainly marked were a special target for Nazi bombs; but the men and
women on board them never faltered in their duty.
Meanwhile, the Royal Air Force, which had already been intervening in
the battle, so far as its range would allow, from home bases, now used
part of its main metropolitan fighter strength, and struck at the German
bombers and at the fighters which in large numbers protected them. This
struggle was protracted and fierce. Suddenly the scene has cleared, the
crash and thunder has for the moment-but only for the moment-died away.
A
miracle of deliverance, achieved by valour, by perseverance, by perfect
discipline, by faultless service, by resource, by skill, by
unconquerable fidelity, is manifest to us all.
The enemy was hurled back by the retreating British and French troops.
He was so roughly handled that he did not hurry their departure
seriously. The Royal Air Force engaged the main strength of the German
Air Force, and inflicted upon them losses of at least four to one; and
the Navy, using nearly 1,000 ships of all kinds, carried over 335,000
men, French and British, out of the jaws of death and shame, to their
native land and to the tasks which lie immediately ahead.
We must be very
careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory.
Wars are not won by evacuations. But there was a victory inside this
deliverance, which should be noted.
It was gained by the Air Force. Many of
our soldiers coming back have not seen the Air Force at work; they saw
only the bombers which escaped its protective attack. They underrate its
achievements. I have heard much talk of this; that is why I go out of my
way to say this. I will tell you about it.
This was
a great trial of strength between the British and German Air Forces. Can
you conceive a greater objective for the Germans in the air than to make
evacuation from these beaches impossible, and to sink all these ships
which were displayed, almost to the extent of thousands? Could there
have been an objective of greater military importance and significance
for the whole purpose of the war than this? They tried hard, and they
were beaten back; they were frustrated in their task. We got the Army
away; and they have paid fourfold for any losses which they have
inflicted. Very large formations of German aeroplanes-and we know that
they are a very brave race-have turned on several occasions from the
attack of one-quarter of their number of the Royal Air Force, and have
dispersed in different directions. Twelve aeroplanes have been hunted by
two. One aeroplane was driven into the water and cast away by the mere
charge of a British aeroplane, which had no more ammunition. All of our
types-the Hurricane, the Spitfire and the new Defiant-and all our pilots
have been vindicated as superior to what they have at present to face.
When we
consider how much greater would be our advantage in defending the air
above this Island against an overseas attack, I must say that I find in
these facts a sure basis upon which practical and reassuring thoughts
may rest. I will pay my tribute to these young airmen. The great French
Army was very largely, for the time being, cast back and disturbed by
the onrush of a few thousands of armoured vehicles. May it not also be
that the cause of civilisation itself will be defended by the skill and
devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in
all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth.
The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the
past-not only distant but prosaic; these young men, going forth every
morn to guard their native land and all that we stand for, holding in
their hands these instruments of colossal and shattering power, of whom
it may be said that
Every morn brought
forth a noble chance
And every chance
brought forth a noble knight,
deserve
our gratitude, as do all the brave men who, in so many ways and on so
many occasions, are ready, and continue ready to give life and all for
their native land. I return to the Army. In the long series of very
fierce battles, now on this front, now on that, fighting on three fronts
at once, battles fought by two or three divisions against an equal or
somewhat larger number of the enemy, and fought fiercely on some of the
old grounds that so many of us knew so well-in these battles our losses
in men have exceeded 30,000 killed, wounded and missing. I take occasion
to express the sympathy of the House to all who have suffered
bereavement or who are still anxious. The President of the Board of
Trade [Sir Andrew Duncan] is not here today. His son has been killed,
and many in the House have felt the pangs of affliction in the sharpest
form. But I will say this about the missing: We have had a large number
of wounded come home safely to this country, but I would say about the
missing that there may be very many reported missing who will come back
home, some day, in one way or another. In the confusion of this fight it
is inevitable that many have been left in positions where honour
required no further resistance from them.
Against
this loss of over 30,000 men, we can set a far heavier loss certainly
inflicted upon the enemy. But our losses in material are enormous. We
have perhaps lost one-third of the men we lost in the opening days of
the battle of 21st March, 1918, but we have lost nearly as many guns --
nearly one thousand-and all our transport, all the armoured vehicles
that were with the Army in the north. This loss will impose a further
delay on the expansion of our military strength. That expansion had not
been proceeding as far as we had hoped. The best of all we had to give
had gone to the British Expeditionary Force, and although they had not
the numbers of tanks and some articles of equipment which were
desirable, they were a very well and finely equipped Army. They had the
first-fruits of all that our industry had to give, and that is gone. And
now here is this further delay. How long it will be, how long it will
last, depends upon the exertions which we make in this Island. An effort
the like of which has never been seen in our records is now being made.
Work is proceeding everywhere, night and day, Sundays and week days.
Capital and Labour have cast aside their interests, rights, and customs
and put them into the common stock. Already the flow of munitions has
leaped forward. There is no reason why we should not in a few months
overtake the sudden and serious loss that has come upon us, without
retarding the development of our general programme.
Nevertheless, our thankfulness at the escape of our Army and so many
men, whose loved ones have passed through an agonising week, must not
blind us to the fact that what has happened in France and Belgium is a
colossal military disaster. The French Army has been weakened, the
Belgian Army has been lost, a large part of those fortified lines upon
which so much faith had been reposed is gone, many valuable mining
districts and factories have passed into the enemy's possession, the
whole of the Channel ports are in his hands, with all the tragic
consequences that follow from that, and we must expect another blow to
be struck almost immediately at us or at France. We are told that Herr
Hitler has a plan for invading the British Isles. This has often been
thought of before. When Napoleon lay at Boulogne for a year with his
flat-bottomed boats and his Grand Army, he was told by someone. "There
are bitter weeds in England." There are certainly a great many more of
them since the British Expeditionary Force returned.
The
whole question of home defence against invasion is, of course,
powerfully affected by the fact that we have for the time being in this
Island incomparably more powerful military forces than we have ever had
at any moment in this war or the last. But this will not continue. We
shall not be content with a defensive war. We have our duty to our Ally.
We have to reconstitute and build up the British Expeditionary Force
once again, under its gallant Commander-in-Chief, Lord Gort. All this is
in train; but in the interval we must put our defences in this Island
into such a high state of organisation that the fewest possible numbers
will be required to give effective security and that the largest
possible potential of offensive effort may be realised. On this we are
now engaged. It will be very convenient, if it be the desire of the
House, to enter upon this subject in a secret Session. Not that the
government would necessarily be able to reveal in very great detail
military secrets, but we like to have our discussions free, without the
restraint imposed by the fact that they will be read the next day by the
enemy; and the Government would benefit by views freely expressed in all
parts of the House by Members with their knowledge of so many different
parts of the country. I understand that some request is to be made upon
this subject, which will be readily acceded to by His Majesty's
Government.
We have
found it necessary to take measures of increasing stringency, not only
against enemy aliens and suspicious characters of other nationalities,
but also against British subjects who may become a danger or a nuisance
should the war be transported to the United Kingdom. I know there are a
great many people affected by the orders which we have made who are the
passionate enemies of Nazi Germany. I am very sorry for them, but we
cannot, at the present time and under the present stress, draw all the
distinctions which we should like to do. If parachute landings were
attempted and fierce fighting attendant upon them followed, these
unfortunate people would be far better out of the way, for their own
sakes as well as for ours. There is, however, another class, for which I
feel not the slightest sympathy. Parliament has given us the powers to
put down Fifth Column activities with a strong hand, and we shall use
those powers subject to the supervision and correction of the House,
without the slightest hesitation until we are satisfied, and more than
satisfied, that this malignancy in our midst has been effectively
stamped out.
Turning
once again, and this time more generally, to the question of invasion, I
would observe that there has never been a period in all these long
centuries of which we boast when an absolute guarantee against invasion,
still less against serious raids, could have been given to our people.
In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his
transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading
fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has
excited and befooled the imaginations of many Continental tyrants. Many
are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be
adopted, and when we see the originality of malice, the ingenuity of
aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves
for every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and
treacherous manoeuvre. I think that no idea is so outlandish that it
should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same
time, I hope, with a steady eye. We must never forget the solid
assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be
locally exercised.
I have,
myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is
neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being
made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island
home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of
tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that
is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's
Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the
nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in
their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native
soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their
strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous
States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the
odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall
go on to the end, 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.

CICERO (106-43 B.C.) studied law in
Rome, and philosophy in Athens. He became the leading lawyer of
his time and rose to the highest office of state [Roman Consul].
After studying all forms of political systems, he wrote his
landmark books on the Republic and The Laws.
In these writings Cicero projected the grandeur and
promise of some future society based on natural law.
The American Founding Fathers saw in Cicero's writings the
necessary ingredients for their model society and government.
The Law of Nature or Nature's God is eternal in its basic
goodness; it is universal in its application. It is a code of
"right reason" from the Creator himself. It cannot be altered.
It cannot be repealed. It cannot be abandoned by legislators or
the people themselves, even though they may pretend to do so..
In Natural Law we are dealing with factors of absolute reality.
It is basic principles are comprehensible to the human mind, and totally
correct and morally right in its general operation.
Cicero emphasized that the essence of an evil law cannot be mended
through ratification by the legislature or by popular acclaim.
Justice can never be expected from laws arbitrarily passed in violation
of standards set up under the laws of Nature or the laws of the Creator.

Comments by Chair, Tom Hoversten,
B.A.- History, 1956
"The government is not the generator nor the
continuous provider of LIFE, LIBERTY, LAW, FOOD, JOB. The word "happiness", in this present age,
has descended into a secular hedonist (twisted pleasure) life-style meaning far different from what Jefferson
and the founding fathers understood very clearly. The
original meaning was 'blessedness" or "blessed" as used by
Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Beware of revisionists who come as wolves in
sheep's clothing promising the "new" or
the "change" to words, events, or ideas. Too often
smooth operatives twist and spin the message to
deceive, distort, and distract . The followers
smoothly slide down slippery slopes with ease into a changed culture which loses the values,
meaning, arts, beauty, ethics, and productivity
of the original. How shall we escape decadence without
