00:00First of two episodes of Churchill, Man of the Century.
00:03Part one, The Years of Challenge.
00:30In the 20th century, in the summer of 1940, the supreme challenge came to Britain and to Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill.
00:45Deutsche Kampfflugzeuge vom Typ Heinkel 111 fliegen gegen England.
00:50Achtung, englische Jäger, Feuer auf den Rohren!
00:53The Battle of Britain is about to begin.
01:00Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilizations.
01:05The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us.
01:12Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war.
01:18Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty.
01:21So bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years,
01:32men will still say this was their finest hour.
01:51Thank you, Mr. Doctor!
01:52I have not always been wrong about the future of events, and if you will permit me, I shall inscribe some of these words as my testimony,
02:06because I should like to be held accountable for them in years which I shall not see.
02:23In the long life of Winston Churchill there have been many moments, great, tragic, poignant.
02:40One of the most poignant for him personally was an evening in 1955 when he was about to step down for the last time as Prime Minister.
02:49His work done.
02:51Britain's young Queen, Elizabeth II, paid him the singular honor of dining with him at Number 10 Downing Street.
02:58Who was this man the Queen came to honor?
03:00What forces shaped his career?
03:05I am a child of the House of Commons.
03:08I was brought up in my father's house to believe in democracy.
03:13Trust the people.
03:14Trust the people.
03:15That was his message.
03:16Way back in those aristocratic Victorian days when, as the Israelis said, the world was for the few and for the very few.
03:30His first monarch was also a queen, Victoria.
03:34For 63 years this redoubtable woman ruled a Britain that enjoyed comparative peace, great prosperity, and unrivaled world power.
03:43Great houses were part of the life of Victorian England.
03:56This is Blenheim Palace where Churchill was born November 30th, 1874.
04:01A massive estate of 2700 acres, Blenheim was built in the early 18th century with public money for John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough.
04:10Churchill's parents lived here though they did not own the castle.
04:14His father was Sir Randolph Churchill who rose in a brief meteoric career to be England's Chancellor of the Exchequer.
04:20Jenny Jerome, his mother, was a famous New York beauty who gave Winston his American connection.
04:251877, he was three.
04:29As a boy he was difficult, often disobedient.
04:35The mistress of his dancing class said of him, I used to think he was the naughtiest small boy in the world.
04:40At twelve he entered Harrow and being a rebel would not pose with his class.
04:47He did not distinguish himself.
04:49He flubbed Latin and mathematics.
04:51But Winston the youngster at left, in his own words, got into my bones the essential structure of the ordinary British sentence, which is a noble thing.
04:59Then to Sanders, Britain's West Point. Cadet Churchill, age 18.
05:06Commissioned a second lieutenant, he served as a soldier and newspaper reporter in five minor wars, the first of them being an insurrection in Cuba in 1895.
05:15The next year found him in India, playing polo, fighting the Pethan tribesmen, writing a bad novel and reading Gibbon.
05:26Then on to the Sudan with Kitchener and the Battle of Amdurman against the dervishes, probably the last great cavalry charge in history.
05:461899. Churchill, twenty-four, resigned from the army, donned a war correspondence uniform and was off to South Africa.
05:55Here the Boers, early Dutch settlers, were fighting to keep their independence from British control.
06:01Churchill plunged into the fray.
06:15In the melee, Churchill was captured and slapped into prison. He quickly escaped and the Boers offered a 25 pound reward for him, dead or alive.
06:33Englishman, talks through his nose, cannot pronounce the letter S properly.
06:39Churchill, by then safe, whipped off a flamboyant dispatch to London to reassure the world.
06:461900, a now famous Churchill, who had rolled a lifetime of experience into his 25 years, was elected as a Conservative member of the House of Commons.
06:56For us in Britain, the 19th century ended amid the glories of the Victorian era.
07:11And we entered upon the dawn of the 20th in high hope for our country, our empire and the world.
07:23In prosperous Conservative Britain, Churchill soon turned maverick.
07:27He broke with party leader Joseph Chamberlain, who opposed free trade and cheap food for the working man.
07:34Chamberlain loves the working man, he quipped. He loves to see him work.
07:39In 1904, he joined the rapidly rising Liberal Party under Lloyd George.
07:43As a Liberal, Churchill plumped for a British New Deal, improved working conditions, old age pensions, Social Security.
07:51He drew the line, however, at women voting, and in 1908, he was temporarily unseated because of his opposition to the suffragettes.
08:04Opposition to women's suffrage did not make him an anti-feminist. On September 12, 1908, at the age of 33, he married a beautiful aristocrat, Clementine Hosier, and in his own words, lived happily ever afterwards.
08:25Despite his political involvement, he never lost his appetite for action.
08:35While Home Secretary in the Cabinet in 1911, some anarchists broke loose in London and holed up in a tenement in Sydney Street.
08:42Although this should have remained a police matter, Churchill leaped in and directed operations like an old campaigner.
08:48In the same year, this building, the Admiralty, opened to him a much bigger opportunity.
08:59At 36, he became First Lord and fought for the money that would keep Britain supreme in the naval race against Germany.
09:05He was back in his military element, a world of great ships, guns, and armor plate.
09:17In three decisive years, he flung money into new battleships, cleared out the Admiralty's dead wood, and converted the fleet from coal to oil.
09:26In 1914, as World War I was breaking, he put the fleet to sea on his own responsibility.
09:33As Lord Kitchener later said to him,
09:36Well, Winston, there is one thing they cannot take from you. The fleet was ready.
09:45In 1915, Churchill supported the Gallipoli Campaign, a strike at the Dardanelles designed to knock Turkey out of the war, outflank Germany, and aid Imperial Russia.
09:56He saw in the mobility of Allied sea power the answer to the brutal stalemate on the Western Front.
10:01Sound and strategy, the plan was dogged by dissension, and Churchill was forced to resign from the Admiralty.
10:08When finally launched, the British and Australian land invasion was repulsed at Gallipoli with a quarter of a million casualties.
10:15As original proponent for the campaign, Churchill caught the blame.
10:20The very word Gallipoli haunted him for the rest of his career.
10:24At 40, when most men's fortunes are reaching their peak, Churchill, who had risen so fast, was plunged into despair.
10:31He told a friend, I am finished.
10:34The war rolled on. He did what he could. Went to France, served his regiment in the trenches.
10:37Returning at Lloyd George's behest to be Minister of Munitions, he did what he could, went to France, served his regiment in the trenches.
11:01Returning at Lloyd George's behest to be Minister of Munitions, he enthusiastically pressed for a new instrument of war, the tank.
11:11He found it the most exciting weapon since the battleship.
11:15Not without difficulty, he won his battle for tank production.
11:19Tanks were better than hurling flesh against flesh in Flanders mud.
11:22They gave the offense what he called, moving power.
11:42As Minister of Munitions, he came to know the factory floor and the hard basic economics of war.
11:47Equally important, he saw the potentialities of the airplane.
11:52He learned to fly, piloted his own plane to France on inspection trips, walked away from a couple of crack-ups,
11:58and scoffed at those who thought a cabinet minister ought to stay on the ground.
12:02He watched the air war with keen interest.
12:05Now he was not just amphibious, but tribibious.
12:08He knew the land, the sea, and the air.
12:11The End
12:13The End
12:16THE END
12:46Armistice brought jubilation to London, but Churchill's thoughts ranged thousands of miles away.
13:10A chill and ominous wind flowing out of Russia, where the Tsar had been deposed in 1917, and the Bolsheviks had seized power in Moscow.
13:24Now, in 1918, in Vladivostok, the Allies, including a United States force, were intervening in a last-ditch attempt to stop communism.
13:32Churchill threw himself enthusiastically into this attempt and was roundly criticized.
13:44Osbert Sitwell wrote,
13:45Who is more qualified to lead a retreat than the victor of Gallipoli, Antwerp, and Sydney Street?
13:51But, as events proved, Churchill, not his critics, had taken the true measure of communism and its leader, Nikolai Lenin.
13:59Comrades, Red Army men, the capitalists of England, America, and France, are waging war against Russia.
14:16They are sending money and military supplies to the Russian landowners, who are leading troops from Siberia, the Don, and the North Caucasus against the Soviet power.
14:26The failure to strangle Bolshevism at its birth, and to bring Russia, then prostrate, by one means or another, into the general democratic system, lies heavy upon us today.
14:41His belligerent opposition to communism and socialism not only brought criticism, but also cost votes.
14:48Defeated as a liberal candidate for parliament, he ran twice again as an independent.
14:56He was beaten both times, the second time by this gentleman.
15:04In 1924, a disillusioned Churchill returned to the Conservative Party, which he had left 18 years before,
15:12was given a safe seat in Commons, and was made Chancellor of the Exchequer by Stanley Baldwin.
15:17He put Britain back on the gold standard, only to see the country plunge into a general strike, and then depression.
15:23In 1929, the Labour Party under socialist Ramsey MacDonald took over.
15:29Churchill was out, not to return to power for a decade.
15:33He was 54.
15:35For him, this was the void.
15:44Rick Lane became a curious hobby during the bleak years of Depression.
15:47He painted, he wrote, and in his lectures, he despaired of Britain's declining position,
15:53drifting to and fro on the tides in a deeply disturbed ocean.
16:04Occasionally, he got some recognition, but mostly he was a discouraged and forlorn figure.
16:09It took an event in Germany, the rise of adult Hitler to restore purpose to Britain's forgotten man.
16:32He must warn his country, and holding a seat in Parliament was a means to sound the general alarm.
16:37Mr. Churchill's figures are 35,956, Mr. Commons' card are 15,670, and Mr. Ranger, 4,713.
16:58I therefore declare Mr. Churchill duly elected a member of Parliament for the Epping Division in the County of Essex.
17:04Heppie!
17:04Heppie!
17:07Britain slept on.
17:09Its people, beginning to taste better times, were absorbed in domestic affairs.
17:13Alone, unpopular, Churchill fought back in written articles, in sharp and penetrating speeches.
17:20At present, we lie within a few minutes striking distance of the French, Dutch, and Belgian coasts,
17:27and within a few hours of the great aerodromes of Central Europe.
17:31We are even within cannon shock of the continent, so close as that.
17:39It is proven, it is possible, however we might desire it, to turn our backs upon Europe,
17:45and ignore whatever may happen there.
17:48I hope, I pray, and on the whole, grasping the larger hope, I believe, that no war will fall upon us.
17:59But, if in the near future, the great war of 1914 is resumed again, in Europe, after the armistice,
18:10so that is what it may come to, under different conditions, no doubt, in differing combinations, no doubt,
18:17if that should happen, no one can tell where and how it would end,
18:21or whether sooner or later we should not be dragged into.
18:24You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bareness of their soldiers,
18:35and the truncheons of their police, yet in their hearts, there is unspoken, unspeakable fear.
18:45They are afraid of words and thoughts, words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring a tone.
18:53All the more powerful becomes forbidden, these terrify them.
19:00A little mouse, a little tiny mouse, of thought appears in the room,
19:06and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.
19:13September 1938.
19:15Prime Minister Chamberlain went to Munich to sacrifice Czechoslovakia for peace in our time.
19:21Churchill stood up in the House of Commons and called the pact a total and unmitigated defeat.
19:38At Churchill's apartment, Lord Robert Cecil and Harold Nicholson met with him to discuss the pact further.
19:44Says Nicholson of this meeting.
19:46And we went through it, and we all agreed that it meant nothing at all.
19:49It was absolutely meaningless.
19:51And so then, Lord Robert Cecil said,
19:54Well, Winston, I don't know what you feel.
19:57I feel in despair.
20:00And Winston, sitting there, said,
20:02Yes, Bob, I feel in despair unutterable.
20:06I feel twenty years younger.
20:07And I went away thinking that's a chance for me.
20:12We must arm.
20:14Britain must arm.
20:16America must arm.
20:18Of course we shall do it in the end.
20:21We shall sure do it.
20:23But how much harder our toil for every day's delay.
20:28At last, the nation listened.
20:35It was late.
20:37By September 3rd, 1939, Britain was at war.
20:51Churchill returned as First Lord of the Admiralty,
20:54and British ships flashed,
20:55Winston is back.
20:57May 1940.
21:21For Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain,
21:24the sands were running out.
21:25The British fiasco in Norway,
21:28followed by Hitler's strike into Belgium,
21:30forced his resignation.
21:35At 65, with a lifetime of preparation behind him,
21:40Winston Churchill entered number 10, Downing Street.
21:42I speak to you for the first time as Prime Minister in a solemn hour for the life of our country,
21:59of our empire,
22:01of our empire, of our allies, and above all, of the cause of freedom.
22:06A tremendous battle is raging in France and Flanders.
22:11The Germans, by a remarkable combination of air bombing and heavily armoured tanks have broken through the French defences north of the Maginot Line,
22:24and strong columns, and strong columns of their armoured vehicles are ravaging the open country, which for the first day or two was without defenders.
22:33If this is one of the most awe-striking periods in the long history of France and Britain, it is also, beyond doubt, the most obliged behind them.
22:47Behind them, behind us, behind the armies and fleets of Britain and France, gather a group of shattered states and bludgeoned races.
22:59The Czechs, the Poles, the Norwegians, the Danes, the Dutch, the Belgians, upon all of whom the long night of barbarism will descend,
23:09unbroken, even by a star of hope, unless we conquer, and conquer we must, and conquer we shall.
23:19There were to be no easy conquests. Dunkirk presented him in his first days as prime minister with an appalling disaster.
23:35The British expeditionary force in France, driven back to the Channel, seemed to face certain annihilation.
23:41Churchill flashed the order, forget about the equipment, we can rebuild that, we can't remake men.
23:47To save the men, he ordered anything that could float to the Dunkirk beaches, Brighton puddle jumpers, motor launches, tiny sailboats.
23:56350,000 British and French were miraculously evacuated.
24:01To those who counted this a victory, Churchill growled, wars are not won by evacuation.
24:07Into fallen Dunkirk row of the triumphant Germans.
24:21The revolutionaries are not won by evacuation, Ohio.
24:26It's a long four-term battle,장이 Katharine as well, if you are a mechanic to me with nutty,

24:44frei
24:46With France collapsing, he fought desperately to salvage the remains, especially the French
24:59fleet.
25:01Five times he flew to the continent, and even after the French surrendered, he implored
25:04them to reassemble their forces and fight on.
25:07French, it's me, Churchill, who speaks to you.
25:13During more than 30 years, in peace, like in war, I was walking with you, and I'm walking
25:27with you again today.
25:30Allons, bonne nuit, dormez bien, rassemblez vos forces pour l'aube, car l'aube viendra,
25:41elle se lèvera brillante pour les braves, douce pour les fidèles qui auront souffert
25:51marieuses sur les tombeaux des héros.
25:55VIEVE LA PONTE!
26:11Germany's great airstrike against Britain, directed by Hermann Goering, reached its climax
26:15in September 1940.
26:19Then, Goering blundered.
26:24Instead of continuing his telling attacks on British Air Force installations and radar
26:28stations, he decided he could break Britain by smashing at its cities.
26:37In London, in Liverpool, in Birmingham, in Coventry, the British people, whom Churchill had promised
26:49nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat, waited.
26:52Waited.

29:19.
29:39Let's present part two, the years of triumph.
30:09From disaster on the ground, Britain was saved in the air by the RAF in one of the decisive battles of history.
30:28In July, August and September 1940, 40 or 50 squadrons of British fighter aircraft in the Battle of Britain broke the teeth of the German air fleet at odds of 7 or 8 to 1.
30:50Never I in the field of human conscience was so much owed by so many to so few.
31:02June 1941, they still beleaguered Britain, got a windfall.
31:07Hitler attacked Russia.
31:09Despite his lifelong hatred of communism, Churchill promised full support for the Soviets.
31:14There was only one enemy.
31:16We cannot yet see how deliverance will come or when it will come.
31:22But nothing is more certain than that every trace of Hitler's footsteps,
31:28every stain of his infected and corroding fingers will be sponged and purged and if need be blasted from the surface of the earth.
31:42In August of 1941, under conditions of great secrecy, he made an historic voyage across the Atlantic on the battleship Prince of Wales.
31:56The victory of the RAF and Hitler's lunge into Russia had helped his cause.
32:01But to win, he must bring the new world, in his own words, to the liberation and rescue of the old.
32:07He needed the United States, its money, its arms, its industrial power.
32:13At Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, he would meet President Franklin D. Roosevelt face to face for the first time as Prime Minister.
32:20And he knew that everything depended on how they would get along.
32:24History dwells on the two statesmen signing the famous Atlantic Charter, a declaration of principle.
32:30Of far greater importance was the fact that off the foggy banks of Newfoundland,
32:34an Englishman and an American struck it off and came to understand each other.
33:02Back in England, he rallied his own workers.
33:05But despite Britain's effort, public opinion in the United States remained divided.
33:09It took an event 7,000 miles away to fulfill Churchill's dream, a firm and fighting American ally.
33:19On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
33:24Britain declared war on Japan in a matter of hours and he hurried to Washington.
33:31At a joint session of Congress, he thundered out against the Germans and Japanese and made the most of his personal American connection.
33:40By the way, I cannot help but reflect that if my father had been American and my mother British, instead of the other way around, I might have got here on my own.
33:59What kind of a people do they think we are?
34:11Is it possible they do not realize that we shall never cease to persevere against them until they have been taught a lesson which they and the world will never forget?
34:24From Washington, he went to Ottawa, where he told the Canadian Parliament of his attempts to keep France in the war.
34:35When I warned them that Britain would fight on alone, whatever they did, their generals told their Prime Minister and his divided cabinet,
34:46In three weeks, England will have a neck run like a chicken. Some chicken. Some neck.
35:10Another ally was giving him trouble. August of 1942 found him in Moscow to tell the insistent Russians that instead of a second front in Europe, there would be an allied invasion of North Africa.
35:27But Churchill was the British chief of staff, Lord Allenbrook. The pleasantries of the public meeting soon evaporated when Churchill told Stalin that there could be no second front yet.
35:39North Africa was a success. The tide of the war was beginning to turn.
35:48North Africa was beginning to turn.
36:04In 1943, Churchill visited General Montgomery. The troops responded to the old trooper.
36:10North Africa was beginning to turn.
36:35During these and the following months, there were other meetings. Casablanca, Tehran, Cairo, Yalta. Conferences where the victory was planned, but where the promise of a secure and just peace was to elude the statesmen.
36:49In Churchill's phrase, triumph and tragedy.
36:54In Miracles had noаются in forward.
36:56The definitivelywed fight
37:00Last year, when theita challenge took Mark. Subtitlanca had started, was actually viewed as a Siegelgruppe of South Africa.
37:02Are you sure as well as Siegel novelist jig?

37:09The meisten of China has achieved the운 plan in Gale and the bridge of South Africa.
37:15Can he allow Nigeria to act on its Nicol смотреть?
37:19They had afed��� plants in 나aksi as well.
37:21The key to victory was the invasion of Europe.
37:30Spring of 1940, first time foreigners in a strange city, aimlessly wandering the streets.
37:36Ahead, D-Day, and the invasion of Europe.
37:39But today, tonight, but what do you do on a last flight?
37:51JOURNAL§
41:42May 8, 1945, the end of the war in Europe.
41:49Weary and worn, impoverished but undaunted, and now triumphant, wrote Churchill, we had a moment that was sublime.
42:12Two months later, the big three conference at Potsdam, Roosevelt had died, the cherished friendship was over.
42:25With Harry Truman and Joseph Stalin, he still entertained high hopes for the peace.
42:30Then, as it happened so often in his lifetime, he suffered a crushing reverse. Laborite Clement Attlee defeated him at the polls.
42:38All our enemies having surrendered, Churchill wrote, I was immediately dismissed by the British electorate from all further conduct of their affairs.
42:47It was the void again, it was the void again, enforced idleness. Seventy years old, he took a conventional holiday.
42:55He did not remain idle long. He did not remain idle long. There was his painting, which he had first taken up when he had been fired from the British Admiralty at the time of Gallipoli, and at which he has real talent.
43:18Too old for Polo, he could get some satisfaction out of owning racehorses.
43:39Above all, he could return to his writing. For fifty years, it has been his inner resource.
43:44In the dark days, during and after World War I, he had written his famous six-volume history, The World Crisis.
43:51Now, while conservatives were lamenting his defeat, he was busy writing his six-volume history of World War II.
44:04There were public honors, too. The French remembered Churchill.
44:14Mr. Le Premier Ministre, Winston Churchill. La France vous remercie.
44:28These occasions gave him an opportunity to speak out on vital issues. Communism, Germany, the atom. At Fulton, Missouri in 1946, he called the turn on communism with a famous phrase.
44:43From Stettine in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.
44:53Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe.
45:02Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest, and Sofia.
45:13All these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere.
45:23Here.
45:24While the Germans were surrendering by hundreds of thousands, and our streets were crowded with cheering people,
45:34I telegraphed to Lord Montgomery, directing him to be careful in collecting the German arms that were pouring in in great masses,
45:44to stack them so that they could easily be issued again to German soldiers, whom we should have to work with if the Soviet advance into Western Europe continues.
45:56Well, it shows where I was then.
46:03MIT, March 31st, 1949.
46:07I must not conceal from you tonight the truth as I see it.
46:12It is certain that Europe would have been communized like Czechoslovakia and London under bombardment some time ago,
46:24but for the deterrent of the atomic bomb in the hand.
46:28The old political campaigner, now 76, wanted vindication too.
46:36In 1951, he fought hard for the conservative victory that would return him as Prime Minister.
46:43I come to you today, here, with a message, which is, we're going to win.
46:52I can feel it in, I can feel it in my bones, we're going to win.
47:04And now with a Nazi, you may be quite sure, if you feel tender-hearted about him,
47:09that the Labour Party, Socialist Party, or Labour as they like to call themselves,
47:14although they're not the only people who work in this country.
47:17His personal popularity had never faltered, and in a close election, he won his fight.
47:39April 1953, Churchill, the great commoner, received one of the rare honors of the British Empire.
47:45He became Sir Winston Churchill, knight companion of the most noble order of the Garter.
47:53Queen Elizabeth, fifth monarch under whom he has served, knighted him just as Queen Anne had honored his great ancestor,
48:00John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough.
48:02Through all of his ups and downs, world leader and outcast, Churchill has never lost his flash of wit.
48:14In my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world, unless you also understand the most amusing.
48:26This television has come to take its face in the world.
48:36They're rather an old-fashioned person. I have not been one of its principal champions,
48:46but I don't think it needs any champions, it can make its own way.
48:50And it's a wonderful thing, indeed, to think that every expression on my face, at this moment,
48:57may be viewed by millions of people throughout the United States.
49:01I hope the raw material is as good as the methods of distribution.
49:12I have been asked to say just ten words, but I haven't been told which ten words they should be.
49:28But there are ten words which, or there are about ten, which come very readily to my mind.

50:08from putting the folly they talk into action.
50:24I don't often do that.
50:37I mean, when I'm making a speech.
50:51On his 80th birthday at Westminster Hall, members of both houses of Parliament
50:58played Churchill an unprecedented honor.
51:00There were tributes by members of all parties and a portrait.
51:04This is, to me, the most memorable public occasion of my life.

52:26For this wonderful honor they have done me.

53:40This is the classroom, the classroom is based on the capacity of the Classroom.
