  • Timeline - May 1940
    TIMELINE - MAY 1940 As the month begins the battle for Norway continues. Just to recap, German naval and ground forces had begun invading both Norway and Denmark on 9th April. Denmark had quickly capitulated but Norway had resisted. British forces were sent to Andalsnes on 18th April to 1st May, Namsos on 16th April to 3rd May, and Narvik from 15th April to 8th June. They were joined by Norwegian, French and Polish forces. But as May begins the evacuation of Allied troops from some of these areas is already underway and nearing completion. With the failure of the campaign for central Norway attention shifts to Narvik in the far north, strategically vital to the Germans for the shipping of iron ore from Sweden. 1 On 2nd May German troops reached Andalsnes, and on the following day Norwegian troops south of Trondheim surrendered to the Germans. The allied evacuation at Namsos was completed, but German aircraft located part of the evacuation fleet and sank the destroyers Afridi and Bison. The Bison was a French destroyer and she was the first to be sunk with the loss of 136 of her crew. The surviving crew were then picked up by the Afridi. But when that ship came under attack a further 35 of her crew were lost, along with 53 of the Afridi’s crew and 13 soldiers - the only casualties among the whole force of 12,000 troops evacuated from Åndalsnes and Namsos On 5th May the Battle of Hegra Fortress ended when the fortress capitulated. The Germans had now achieved complete victory on Norway’s southern front.

  • 'They Shall Reap the Whirlwind': How Churchill Harnessed Christianity In
    ‘They shall reap the whirlwind’: how Churchill harnessed Christianity in the service of war democraticaudit.com /2016/12/20/they-shall-reap-the-whirlwind-how-churchill-harnessed-christianity-in-the- service-of-war/ By Democratic Audit UK 2016-12-20 For centuries the Church of England buttressed a sense of Christian nationhood – which was ably deployed during the second world war by Winston Churchill. In this exclusive extract from his book The Evolution of the West, Nick Spencer explains how Churchill, who lost his faith for a while, nonetheless drew on the Bible to defend ‘Christian civilisation’. Bishop Bell of Chichester, who protested at the bombing of civilian populations in Germany, lost out on the Archbishopric of Canterbury as a result. The ruins of Coventry Cathedral, bombed in the Blitz. Photo: XTrillion via a CC-BY 2.0 licence A deep sense of Christian nationhood is but a vague memory to most people living today, but it is worth noting that it was anything but vague or a memory as recently as 70 years ago. Winston Churchill ended first broadcast to the nation as Prime Minister, on 19 May 1940 with the following words: “Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: ‘Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.” The text he quoted to rouse his people was from 1 Maccabees 3:58-60, a book confined to the English Apocrypha since the Reformation.

  • Winston Churchill's Message to America
    FIRST PRINCIPLES FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS TO GUIDE POLITICS AND POLICY NO. 54 | JUNE 2, 2015 Champion of Liberty: Winston Churchill and His Message to America Justin D. Lyons Abstract Political freedom does not occur naturally. Societies must fight to establish it, struggle to maintain it, and sacri- fice to defend it. For Winston Churchill, the defense of freedom required manly firmness despite fear and difficul- ty—not only on the battlefield, but also in the realm of ideas. Churchill believed that a unified front of the nations dedicated to freedom was necessary for their security, both in times of war and in times of peace. He especially thought it crucial for the United States and England to maintain their special relationship. Americans should reflect on the life and career of the man whose name has become synonymous with struggle against tyranny and with hope in times of gathering shadows. His writings remind us of freedom’s unique value and fragility and of the means by which to defend it. 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the death myself an English-speaking union.” And Churchill of Sir Winston S.

Eisenhower, behaved accordingly, working “tirelessly to cement fortified by memories of long association and collab- the British–American alliance.”1 oration with Churchill through cataclysmic events, The United States is interwoven throughout wrote a remembrance for National Geographic: Churchill’s story from start to finish.

  • Winston Churchill - Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat Speech - 1940
    Winston Churchill - Blood, toil, tears, and sweat speech - 1940 “And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is only the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year, unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigor, arise and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.” “I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.” “You can measure a man's character by the choices he makes under pressure.” “History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.” “Today is Trinity Sunday. Centuries ago words were written to be a call and a spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice: Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be.” Editors Note: Winston Churchill was a man trained by the unseen hand of God, for his post as Prime Minister. In the early throws of World War II, he was the statesman Britain so desperately needed after resignation of Neville Chamberlain. From his overbearing father, who toughened him to his later military experiences, all prepared him for his later position. He was protected as a soldier on the Afghan border in 1897.

Aber ich glaube, ich bin ein Glühwurm», hat Winston Churchill (1874–1965) in jungen Jahren einmal verkün- det. Kaum einer besaß so reiche Talente, um solchen Ehrgeiz zu be- friedigen. In den englischen Hochadel geboren, erhielt Churchill eine militärische Ausbildung. Er kämpfte als Soldat in Englands Ko- lonialkriegen, wurde als Kriegskorrespondent und Kriegsabenteurer berühmt, bekleidete im Laufe seines Lebens fast jeden Ministerpos- ten seines Landes und wurde zwei Mal Premierminister. Daneben war er ein anerkannter Maler, ein begeisternder Redner und ein begnadeter Schriftsteller – der einzige Staatsmann, der je den Nobel- preis für Literatur erhielt. Dabei konnte er gleichermaßen inspirie- ren wie irritieren: als radikaler Sozialreformer und als Imperialist alter Schule, als entschlossener Krieger und als Vordenker einer fried- lichen Welt nach den Weltkriegen. 50 Jahre nach Churchills Tod lotet Thomas Kielingers glänzend geschriebene Biographie die Faszina- tion dieses großen Mannes neu aus.

  • Lesson Plan by Jannette Milligan Page 1 of 9 D
    CHURCHILL’S WARTIME SPEECHES: 1940-1941 I. INTRODUCTION This lesson is intended for use in a unit on World War II. It will focus on the time period from May 10, 1940 to June 21, 1941 – the time period beginning with Winston Churchill becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, encompassing the time period when France fell and Britain fought the Germans essentially alone, and ending just before the German invasion of the USSR on June 22, 1941. The lesson will provide students the opportunity to learn about this time period, to read several of Winston Churchill’s speeches from this time period, to discuss the context of these speeches, and to analyze their importance in contributing to the formation of a national British consensus to continue to fight the Germans. II. GUIDING QUESTION How did Winston Churchill, through his speeches, contribute to the formation of a collective British resolve to continue fighting during the critical time period when Britain was alone in fighting Germany? III. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Prior to beginning this lesson, students should be able to: A. Identify the policies by which the British Government attempted to pursue peace in the 1930’s, the leaders who advocated these policies, and the reasons for the failure of these policies. B. Provide a basic history of both Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, including their goals in ruling Germany from 1933. C. Evaluate the role of Winston Churchill, a British Member of Parliament who held no position in the Government, in warning that the combination of British policies and German policies would be disastrous for the continent.

  • Winston Churchill's Speeches Lesson Plan
    Unit Topic World War II Winston Churchill (Speeches) Fall of France and Battle of Britain Lesson Plan Aim To identify the need for United States involvement in World War II by analyzing Winston Churchill’s speeches. Rationale Often overlooked in World War II is the struggle to fight Germany prior to U.S. entry and the perseverance of Winston Churchill to keep fighting in the face of near defeat. Churchill is an important person for students to know because of his ability to lead with strength, to speak with valor, and to give hope to his people when doubt was consuming them. Before evaluating whether or not the United States should have joined World War II, the time they joined, and the way they provided aid prior to official entry, it is crucial to know what the circumstances were in the fight against the Axis Powers from the beginning of the war. Students will read Churchill’s speeches to learn about his incredible leadership and to make an emotional connection to the time. Learning in a personal way will help students have empathy for the leaders and their people during this devastating period in history. Student Learning Objectives Students will be able assess the need for United States involvement in World War II by analyzing Winston Churchill’s speeches. Civics Connection • How have people in power affected political, social, and economic developments regarding the freedom and protection of their people? • How can one change, strengthen, or improve upon a social, political, or economic standing? *See the Civics Connection Through Questioning guide in Civics for more ideas.
