Winston Churchill in '42

.
Everyone knows how the French defense (based of the foolish Maginot Line) collapsed so quickly in 1940 and it is now the stuff of legend how the English valiantly fought on alone for over a year against Hitler’s Nazis before help came from America and the Soviet Union. In 1942 Winston Churchill made a speech to the Canadian Parliament about the war.

He talked about the Fall of France and how, in response to his prediction that England would fight on, the French generals told their leaders that,

“In three weeks, England will have her neck wrung like a chicken.”

There was a pause and then he said: “Some chicken.”

After wild applause and another pause he continued: “Some neck.”
