Britain vows to fight alone if necessary in war talks
Winston Churchill told the British Commons the nation would resist invasion and fight on even from empire outposts, seeking aid from America and stressing heavier blows to come from German forces in Flanders. He cited 80,000 allied troops in Flanders, 30,000+ wounded or missing, and a heroic rescue effort by 1,000 boats that saved nearly 995,000. The plan follows dire battlefield losses and Belgian surrender as the war escalates.
