Aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength . Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States fall into the hands of the Gestapo we shall not flag or fail , we shall go on to the end . We shall fight in France . We shall fight on the seas and oceans . We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air .
