He was a cunt in many ways but what a leader in a time of crisis, I can't think of anyone at the time who would have done better?

I went to Chartwell House a couple of days ago.
Always admired Churchill, great orator and leader,
The house is magnificent, got a great feel to it.
Anyway the more i read about Churchill, he seems to be a bit of a cunt in real life.
He was pretty racist, hated Ghandhi and believed in Eugenics like the Nazis.

Releases
The quote from the 20 August 1940 speech was changed when the movie was released on DVD in 2003. Onscreen, instead of the quote about "The Few," this Churchill quote appears: "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."[22] The 2004 Special Edition, however, reverts to the quotation about the Few.

I solved the mystery, there are two different ending credits, one with William Walton's marvellous music and the El Alamein quote and the other is Ron Goodwins music with the correct Churchill quote, I seem to have both on my DVD

EddieB I know this movie.
I was in Squadron 4F (Ilford) of the air cadets in the 70's and we had to collect money whenever it was on at a local cinema on Battle of Britain Day.
It was always, the Alemain quote.
When I began teaching Modern History in 1991 I showed this movie every year (asking the kids to try and work out why my mum (in Ilford during the Blitz) hated it: Especially the end.
It ended, before the role call with the Alemain quote.
I had to get a new copy on DVD when I moved to the states in 99.
It ended with the alemain quote.
Which always irritated the fuck out of me because "Never in the field of human conflict etc... would have been a much better quote in everyway.
And now you tell me that I'm wrong?
NO!
In the name of all that is sane and just in this world NO!
PS My mums dog (which died a couple of years back) was scared of Hitler. The bastard!

stomper, it's obviously not a fake. It's always been the quote he said about the Battle of Britain.
Here's another YouTube clip of the end credits. has this been faked (in the exact same way) as well?

I have never before seen that quote before at the end of the movie. Its always been the El Alemain one.
Must be a fake or an interpolation.

I HATE (hate) that song that moronic England fans sing about "the RAF from England shot them down". Utter twats.
A bit like the BNP that time having a photo of a Spitfire as part of their election campaigning, but then someone spotted it was from a Polish RAF squadron.

mentor, the country needed immigrants, to fill the new jobs created for the NHS also there was a severe shortage of men available to run the buses trains etc, that's why we recruited from the Caribbean but go ahead and make it a race issue

but Britain needed a new leader for peacetime which brought in the NHS and an invasion of millions of migrants, hence Clement Attlee and the Labour party.
Attlee saw to it that Churchill's attempts to quell a foreign invasion was to ultimately fail.

What I find interesting is that Churchill was seen as the hero. The leader. To be voted by future generations as the greatest britain of all time...
yet he lost the general election in 1945

Churchill apparently first used his famous words upon his exit from the Battle of Britain Bunker at RAF Uxbridge on 16 August when visiting the No. 11 Group RAF Operations Room during a day of battle. Afterwards, Churchill told Major General Hastings Ismay, 'Don't speak to me, I have never been so moved' After several minutes of silence he said, 'Never in the history of mankind has so much been owed by so many to so few'. The sentence would form the basis of his speech to the House of Commons on 20 August.
