Diezelfde avond sprak Churchill voor de BBC. Hij verloochende ZIJn anti-communistische beginselen allerminst, maar, zei hij, 'all this fades away before the spectacle which is now unfolding. The past with its crimes, its follies and its tragedies, flashes away. .. We have but one aim and one single irrevocable purpose. We are resolved to destroy Hitler and every vestige of the Nazirégime. From this nothing will turn us - nothing. We will never parley, we will never negotiate with Hitler or any ~f his gang. We shall fight him by land, we shall fight him by sea, we shall fight him in the air, until with God's help we have rid the earth if his shadow and liberated its peoples from his yoke. Any man or state who fights on against Nazidom will have our aid ... It follows, therefore, that we shall give whatever help we can to Russia and to the Russian people. We shall appeal to all ourfriends and allies in every part of the world to take the same course and pursue it, as we shall, faithfully and steadfastly to the end.
