Winston Churchill, ”Every Man to His Post,” September 11, 1940

"On 5 September the Luftwaffe switched tactics. Suddenly the weight of enemy attack was concentrated no longer against the bases of the Royal Air Force, but against the civilian population of London and other major cities. Churchill here gives full rein to his outrage and reavows his determination to secure victory."

"we must regard the next week or so as a very important period in our history. It ranks with the days when the Spanish Armada was approaching the Channel.... Every man and woman will therefore prepare himself to do his duty, whatever it may be, with special pride and care.... Our shores are well fortified and strongly manned, and behind them, ready to attack the invaders, we have a far larger and better-equipped mobile Army than we have ever had before.... Besides this, we have more than a million and a half men of the Home Guard, who are ... determined to fight for every inch of the ground in every village and in every street. It is with devout but sure confidence that I say: Let God defend the Right."
