May 9, 1940

Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Poland and Norway.

3 million German soldiers are ready to cross the borders of Belgium,

to conquer the rest of Europe.

In Britain, Parliament lost faith in its leader,

Neville Chamberlain.

The search for a replacement has begun...

SRT Project translated to you:

The darkest hour

Order!

Order!

Order!

Mr President!

Mr President!

Order!

The leader...

Order!

Leader of the opposition, Clemente Attlee!

Mr President!

Apparently, it was not clear enough.

Let me clarify any doubt

about what I think about Mr. Chamberlain

as prime minister.

On the right, ladies ladies!

Stay quiet!

Stay quiet!

Stay quiet!

Because of his years of inactivity

and incompetence,

we find you personally responsible...

Incompetence!

Personally responsible

have left the nation disastrously unprepared

to face the current Nazi danger!

Order!

- Order! Shame. Shame.

We are at war, Mr President.

In war.

Regardless

whether it is appropriate or not to govern in times of peace,

He proved unable to rule in times of war!

Order!

Order!

I said order!

Therefore, in the interest of the Nation,

we, the opposition, are willing to form

a large coalition with the Conservative Party in power,

so to speak

Order!

But no, and I emphasize, never,

under the guidance of Mr. Chamberlain,

Who has lost the confidence of this House!

In the country's interest, now,

to waive!

Stand aside and let us find a new leader!

What a shame!

Shame! What a shame!

Where's Winston?

He's making sure he did not leave fingerprints on the murder weapon.

Order!

Like the opposition

refuses to join a government led by me,

we should elect

my successor, someone with...

a new strength to form...

a coalition government.

Tomorrow I'm going to walk away,

but...

I wanted my...

party, the gentlemen whom I have the greatest respect,

They knew that first.

"It must be Halifax." - Yes right.

Undoubtedly.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Halifax. - Yes of course.

There is no doubt about it. Halifax.

Thank you, gentlemen, thank you for your confidence in me, but my moment...

He has not come yet.

So, who...

However, whoever is entrusted with the task,

you will be asked to explore any possibility...

Including with regard to diplomatic negotiations.

Indeed.

Towards the restoration of peace in Europe.

- Absolutely. It '. - Right. Well said.

Well, gentlemen, there is only one candidate,

a lonely man who will be accepted by the opposition.

Oh no.

- Oh, certainly not... "No, absolutely.

No, no, no.

No, it's colossal nonsense.

And if he approaches and says "give me,"

you have to predict what you want.

Black pen, red pen, leaf or clop,

It's the stapler.

Chamberlain resigns Churchill may be the new prime minister

How selfish, give up at such a time.

If he can get the place, will he take me to Downing Street?

Not after the pudding you served last week.

Borbotta, then it is almost impossible to understand everything.

You are ready to write quickly, make short periods and double spaces.

He hates single space, he hates.

Good luck.

To the ambassador of France.

With the German forces...

crossing the Dutch border...

only in the Netherlands...

Write, telegram!

Only in the Netherlands...

security is required for...

they will move immediately,

To protect Belgium.

Stop.

The ambassador of France, sir.

Monsieur ambassador.

They have already invaded Belgium.

Holland and Belgium.

I will immediately denounce your appeal to the Prime Minister.

Ah yes,

The situation is still very confusing.

It '.

Goodbye.

To the ambassador of France.

- As... - No, shake it.

New telegram.

To General Ismay.

At the...

"And now, what is this?" - Your son.

Randolph, quickly.

Last night they said that today I could become prime minister.

But it was yesterday!

Let's see what happens today.

Let's see what...

Let's see what Neville does today.

It '.

Thank you, my son.

It '.

Yeah, out of the balls.

Where then...

- To General Ismay. "Ah, General Ismay.

Sawyers,

Enjoy these things, do you want to?

To General Ismay.

In the light of today's events,

Is coming...

the moment...

to devote to the many preparations...

Is that you...

pressing these keys normally?

It makes a terrible noise, I can not hear myself thinking.

Reread.

To General Ismay.

In the light of today's events, it is now...

Coupling! It's not right!

It's God, girl!

I said together!

Come, with the N, N, N!

The last sentence?

Arrived, N, N, the moment...

- To dedicate... - To dedicate...

- For... - For many... many... many...

Many, many, many, many...

How many "many" did you write, silly girl?

A "many"! Di...

- Of... dedicate... to the many... - Of... dedicate... to the many...

- preparations. - preparations.

Single space. Unique space!

Did not they give you instructions, miss? Unique space?

Someone created the unique space...

And why did you continue like this?

I...

Tell Evans to send me someone who knows how to write the right way

On the right track!

With the S, S, S!

He shouted at you.

Did he shout at you?

- No. "He knows how terribly rude!"

I made many mistakes.

You were nervous and he has a talent for taking the worst out of those who help him.

No, it's not his fault, it's mine. And is...

He is a man.

Like all the others.

Here, pussy...

Expensive.

They called the war locker.

That damn cat is back under the bed.

My dear...

Can I tell you something you should know?

I realized

a recent deterioration of their behavior.

You have not been any more like you in a long time.

You have become rude,

sarcastic, arrogant and coarse.

Is it for the new girl?

If the King asks you to become prime minister,

"It's still not right. - I do not want you

More than it already is?

My dear, you're one step away

to have an enormous power, inferior only to the king.

With a similar power you have to commit to being more gentle,

and calmer if possible.

I want others to appreciate and respect you.

like me.

Telegram to Mr. Churchill.

This is the BBC Home Service.

Here is a brief statement.

The German army invaded the Netherlands and Belgium early this morning,

- by land and by parachute. - There's a telegram.

The troops of the Netherlands oppose the resistance.

A request for help was sent to allied governments,

- and Brussels supports - It comes from the palace.

that allied troops are moving to help.

They saw 100 combat aircraft in Brussels,

and it was reported that in the first foray into Brussels

several hundred people were injured or killed

and several buildings were destroyed.

telegram

Thank you.

Ms...?

Layton.

"You're shaking." - You too.

You of emotion, I of terror.

You wished during adulthood.

No, from the cradle.

"But the public wants me?" "You'll have to prove yourself to the party."

They gave me the job just because we're sinking.

It's not a gift, it's a revenge.

Show her your true qualities, your courage.

- Poverty of judgment. - The lack of vanity.

- The iron will. - The sense of humor.

Ah, ah, ah.

- Now go! - I go.

- Be... - What?

Yourself.

Myself.

Which "I" should I...

to be today

What should have been young when I was young,

with an awake mind,

muscles.

Oh well. Make way, MacDuff.

When the young people move away,

that wisdom is sufficient.

Christmas of 1927

It seems that there is no war.

You know I've never been on a bus?

Sir?

Never queued for bread.

Maybe I can prepare a boiled egg,

but only because I saw him do it.

The only time I took the subway

was during the general strike.

Clemmie brought me to South Kensington station.

I got down, but I was lost,

and went back upstairs.

It was terrible.

Why not Halifax? I prefer Halifax.

I wanted Halifax.

The Lords wanted Halifax.

Maybe Halifax himself wanted Halifax.

So, because I was forced to

to summon Churchill?

Because he is the only member of our group

to have the support of the opposition.

His precedents are a series of catastrophes.

Gallipoli, 25 thousand dead.

Indian politics, Russian civil war,

the golden system.

Abdication and now this...

Norwegian "company", with how many, 1800 men?

An aircraft carrier,

two cruisers, seven torpedoes and one submarine.

The trial is missing in Winston.

- He was right about Hitler - Even a broken watch

mark the right time twice a day.

The first Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. Winston Churchill.

In advance.

Enthusiastic.

I accept your resignation,

but I want you to know

Like I believe he was cruelly treated.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

For that, my lord.

- Your Majesty. - Mr. Churchill.

I think you know...

because I invited you today.

Sir, I can not imagine that.

It is my duty

invite her to become prime minister

of this United Kingdom.

Do you want to build a government?

I want this.

Very good.

It was quite simple.

Yes, actually.

I think we'll have to meet regularly.

Once a week, I'm afraid. It's all right...

Are you okay Monday?

I will commit myself to be available.

- On Monday. at 4:00 p.m.?

At 4 in the afternoon, take a nap.

It's... l-licit?

No... But it's necessary.

I work late.

At lunchtime then?

At lunch.

Monday.

Your Majesty.

Prime Minister.

Greetings, gentlemen.

Mr. Churchill, welcome to number 10.

Thank you sir.

Mr. Churchill, what is it?

In the program?

A glass of Pol Roger.

- From there, sir! "You have your pictures."

Prime Minister.

Anthony.

How was R-king?

Anxious.

He never forgave me for supporting

the marriage of his brother with Wallis Simpson.

He will meet you only once a week.

What's it like to say that I'm going to have to get myself to remove a tooth

once a week.

Composition of your war cabinet?

Who will be part of this?

Chamberlain, of course.

Reverend Holy Fox.

[NdT: "Holy Fox", famous nickname given by Churchill to Lord Halifax]

Halifax.

Do you keep your enemies close?

Oh, more than that.

Without them, the party would get rid of me.

Oh, and that sheep in sheep's clothing, Attlee.

Let's go Dad. Everyone is waiting.

Yes, I'm going in a moment, my love.

I have heard that, before mentioning it,

they asked Lord Halifax.

Oh, I doubt that.

Halifax would never refuse.

He is the fourth son of the count.

A fourth child never refuses with anything.

I wish I had received the commission in better times, sir.

You have a serious task.

I just hope it's not too late.

Even though I'm afraid now.

But we can do our best.

- Hip hip... - Wow!

- Hip hip... - Wow!

Good heavens, what a shiver sight!

- A toast! - Yes, speak!

- Yes. - The bottle.

- Come here. - Yes.

My dear husband...

Maybe you do not know

that the day before our marriage I had a second thought,

but since I already had two broken appointments

in almost 21 years I was risking making a reputation for getting away,

it would have been polite to split up to the third.

- Well said. "Fortunately for your father."

But the real reason for my indecision was that I knew,

since then,

which would always give priority to public life.

It was very disturbing for a young woman,

the thought of always remaining second.

And in the end, it was so.

And yet, our children also

with the same.

It was like this for everyone.

On our way.

And now, today,

we all received our reward,

the proof that our little sacrifice

It was for a much greater good.

I present you to your father,

my beloved husband

the prime minister.

To the prime minister!

For...

Do not mess with everything.

Do not mess with everything!

Belgium was a tactical maneuver.

They raped the Ardennes to reach France.

They crossed the Meuse in less than 24 hours.

No one can cross the Meuse River in 24 hours.

Apparently, the Germans can.

Look at Chamberlain's handkerchief.

If he nodded at the end of Churchill's speech,

we showed agreement.

Otherwise,

we remain silent.

The Prime Minister!

Here we are.

Mr President

last friday night

I received your commission from His Majesty

to form a new government.

There was the evident desire and

of Parliament and the Nation

that this was conceived

on the broadest possible basis,

and which included all parties.

Yes right.

A war cabinet was called...

No...

Correction.

It has been established.

Instituted.

Configure

A war cabinet was created

composed of 5 members

representative, with opposition parties,

the unity of the nation.

Read.

The three party leaders agreed to contribute

in the war cabinet...

Or in important executive tasks.

With this agreement in force,

That is why I invite the House,

with the intrinsic resolution in my name,

to submit their approval

and declare

their confidence in the new government.

Ms?

I'm about to leave naturally.

Must be remembered

that we are

in the preliminary phase

of one of the greatest battles in history

and many other preparations should be prepared here at home.

Lord, take my stand

with vigor and with hope,

and I want to tell the house

What I said to those who joined this government.

I do not have

nothing to offer,

if not blood, work, tears and sweat.

Sweat

We have before us a most costly ordeal.

We have many months of struggle before us

and suffering.

You ask: What is our policy?

I answer you: move the war,

by sea, earth and air, with all our power,

and with all the power that God can give us.

Move war

against a monstrous tyranny

never equaled the bleak and deplorable list of human crimes.

This is our policy.

If you ask what our goal is,

I can answer with one word.

Vittoria.

Victory at any cost.

Victory, despite all the terror.

Victory, however long and hard the journey is.

Because without victory

there is no survival.

Contempt.

"It's still a start. "It's still a start.

Ditto!

"Our policy is to make war."

"At any cost".

"There is no survival."

Good Lord, he is not even able to

pronounce the word "peace"

Be sure to start the negotiations.

It terrifies me to think that maybe I will not see again

my country in peace

I have cancer.

Oh, Neville...

Winston must be removed from the office.

If he admitted that he was not even willing to consider

negotiations with Germany,

we can both have a pretext to give up.

That would lead to a change of confidence.

The party would not approve.

For misery, you are the father.

That would be ruined.

And you agree to become prime minister?

I...

With Winston out of the games, maybe,

But the important thing, Neville,

and 'that their political line would be viable again.

The peace and security of our country.

In the minutes.

- Excuse? - Must be registered

his refusal to treat peace.

It should be in writing.

Office of Armed Forces

War Cabinet

Thank you.

Miss Layton. - Good Morning.

Follow me.

- Good Morning. - Thank you sir.

Thank you, ma'am.

What happens below?

It's confidential information, but not for you.

- The bathroom? "Only for the prime minister."

Dorms, for when the last train will be lost.

Comes.

This is the map room.

"Women can not come in." - What's the department?

The indiscretion of any kind

inside and outside these rooms, what happens here

It is a violation of the law, punishable in one or two years

imprisonment and forced labor.

- It is clear? - Crystal.

It's all right.

This is the War Cabinet room. Never...

I do not want to be difficult with her, but...

are the rules.

This is the typing room.

- Good day sir. - Sir.

You will be here.

Belgium and the Netherlands can fall at any moment.

The France

The whole French army of the ninth, something like 200,000 men,

she surrendered.

All?

Render. Has been defeated.

A defeat.

All our land forces,

About 300,000 men, they are retreating.

Air cover for our troops?

The Luftwaffe dominates the heavens,

We do not have enough airplanes to fight them.

I strongly recommend sending our precious fighter,

they are wasted in France.

Let's preserve them for our defense.

And our marina...

he is standing there, inactive, neutralized,

useless.

Our fleets will not be back in time,

considering the ongoing air strikes we are going through.

Your speed is devastating.

The panzers head west, toward the center.

Yes, but they will have to

stop refueling.

It's not like the last war, sir.

Their tanks can be fueled at service stations.

At service stations?

The road to Paris is now free.

7 million refugees are moving.

We will see the impending fall of Western Europe.

Should we warn the public?

Not yet.

First we will encourage our old acquaintances

to heroic resistance.

France

it must be saved.

Premiere .

If even our situation is...

It is so bad...

it is not the first time...

that we...

we are in the face

in a crisis

everything.

Best in English, Prime Minister.

We have overcome crises in the past and I am

Make sure we get over that too.

Tell me how you think about fighting.

I do not have a plan.

Well, you have to fight.

You... you should...

hired...

"Contrattaquer"!

It is necessary!

I do not think so...

This one...

This breakthrough of the panzer is a real invasion.

"Is not it an invasion?" - No!

While not putting your infantry next to your tanks,

is about...

small flags,

planted on a map,

because the hordes of tanks are not self-sufficient.

No! I refuse to see this spectacular incursion

of German tanks,

as a real invasion.

He's delirious.

He's completely delirious.

It's English!

He is an actor,

in love with the sound of his own voice.

I love to hear this,

but we should never follow his advice.

There are 100 different ideas per day.

4 are good,

the other 96 are absolutely dangerous.

They say that your father was a great orator, but...

Until he lost his head for syphilis!

How nations suffer

- for the sins of their fathers. "Do you want my opinion?"

At this critical time for the Empire,

We got a driving drunk.

He wakes up with a Scotsman,

a bottle of champagne for lunch,

another for dinner,

Cognac and port until late at night...

I would not even lend my bike!

He is a conservative who passes to the liberals,

launches grenades for 10 years,

then he comes back and back to the Conservatives,

like me, I think.

I'm sorry, but this man is only interested in one thing:

himself.

We must find a replacement, Bertie.

A substitute?

We must fight for peace,

so that every son and daughter of this country

Get out of this crisis with something you recognize as your home.

You speak like a true prime minister.

We must respond to the Lord's private seal.

Yes Yes...

Tell the Lord of the private seal

which are sealed in particular in the bathroom

V for Vittoria

and I can handle just one...

asshole at a time.

There's a night tonight, so...

Do not miss it, Anthony.

Be sincere.

I would say no.

Would you say no to what?

He is saying that we almost have the victory in hand.

It's not like this.

No but...

This will serve to motivate them.

"Winston, I do not..." - Anthony, Anthony.

I will permeate them

with a feeling of empathy they still do not know they have.

He asked my opinion.

I'm warning you.

Cicero.

Cicero!

"If fate is against you"... "

something... and then something else...

It's not here... It was here...

Clemmie!

Kitten!

Clemmie!

"We can not pay the bills." - I can not find my book of...

- Cicero! Did you move that? - Did you understand what I said?

- What? - We 're broken.

Oh...

Skirt!

C'mon C'mon! Everyone is out!

I refuse to fill another check.

Well, I... I'll see to save.

I'll smoke... 4 cigars per day.

You are unbearable!

Do you have anything else to say?

It '.

- My love for you. - Ah!

How much did you drink this morning?

See you now

Like the first time I saw you,

in 1904.

And I stood there, speechless.

I had to be beautiful, for doing such a miracle.

We meet again after 4 years.

Pass a flash.

You did not lose the suitors, your...

faithful servant Sidney Peel.

"Extremely intelligent man. - Lionel Earle.

Great dancer.

And then at Mrs. Saint Hellier

Who appeared?

The pig.

It remained the same.

Are we terribly old?

Yes, I'm afraid you are.

Oh, you're an animal!

You are a...

You would hear me while reading my speech again.

for the broadcast tonight?

Prime Minister! Prime Minister, the situation in France,

Is it true that we are in total retreat?

Is France lost?

Above the bank the goat campaign,

under the bench, the goat crack.

So you can sit here,

on his desk...

You speak slowly and clearly,

on the microphone.

therefore,

if it's ready,

at 9 o'clock

the red light will come on and we'll be live all over the country.

21 hours.

Red light.

She begins.

OK?

Just a moment.

Prime Minister...

We're here?

I...

A... A moment, a moment...

- Ready to live. - Fuck off!

AND...

four

three,

two

one.

I talk to you

for the first time as prime minister,

in a solemn moment for the life of our country,

of our Empire,

of our allies

and above all

of the concept of freedom.

An excellent battle

is furious in France

and in Flanders.

The Germans,

through a remarkable combination

air bombing

and massive tanks,

they violated French defenses

north of the Maginot line

and the impressive parades of their armed vehicles

are devastating the open field,

that during the first days

she found herself defenseless.

But I...

"Under control" says France

I have an unwavering confidence

in the French army and its commanders.

Only a small part of this wonderful army

It has already been used in its entirety.

And only a small part of France

It has been invaded so far.

Side by side

the British and French

- have come forward - Go ahead?

- to save not just Europe, "How the hell do you dare?"

but all mankind,

the most delirious and destructive tyranny

that already hid and stained

the pages of History.

But now we are joined by a single link:

move war

until you win the victory

without giving up

for servility and shame,

whatever the cost

and any suffering.

We have to win

and winning is what we will do.

Well done, sir.

Oh, I think you did beautifully.

For the past 10 years, I've been the one to tell them the truth.

Until tonight.

There is no advance.

It's a disaster.

We are in full retreat.

What would that do to deprive him of sleep tonight,

and scare your kids?

Even if the horror is at the door?

Just because he's at the door.

There will be time for truth.

V for victory. We only accept victory.

Did you see?

What's to laugh about?

Prime Minister.

- Sir. - Yes, so what?

Perhaps...

Look, I...

I do not know if you know, but...

Well, the way he does the sign of victory...

in... poorer neighborhoods...

This gesture means something else.

- What does that mean? "I'd rather not say that, sir."

I was captured by the Boers,

I spent time in a prison in South Africa.

To the seat.

Sir.

For the... sit down?

For...

Just like you do, sir.

But if he turns his hand, it's okay.

I do not want millions of people to misunderstand.

Ah, I think!

To the seat!

Your Majesty.

I do not want to steal much of your time.

I heard his speech.

Was I understandable?

People need to be guided,

not misled, not left alone to understand the situation.

Right.

Is that all, Your Majesty?

It '. Good morning, Prime Minister.

Have a nice day.

I think I just got a real curse.

May 19

may 25th

From 22:00 last night,

the Germans surrounded 60 English divisions,

Belgian and French.

For our part, all the forces under the command of Lord Gort

they are retreating to shore or are trying to do so,

in Dunkirk,

- where they are unattainable. "How many are trapped there?"

All.

All the professional soldiers of our country.

There is no safe way to get them back.

General, you're telling me we could lose

The whole British army in the next few days?

Exactly.

German forces are superior at all joints

and are only 50 miles from the coast.

They are pushing us into the sea.

Germans absolutely do not need

reach the sea.

Not before we got our men back.

Ismay, what do you think?

At the moment, I do not have much hope of recovering any

of our troops in time.

Not even a man?

No, I mean, we can not be like this...

at the mercy of his will. What is the next step?

No one?

Let's talk!

We have a garrison at Calais, 25 miles west.

"How many men do we have there?" About 4000.

Why did not you say that before?

Yes, so we... we have to go east,

attacking the German columns directed at Dunkirk.

We have to buy time, to distract the Nazis from Dunkirk

while conducting a maritime evacuation of our forces.

- It's possible? "It would be a tremendous sacrifice."

- 4000 young men. - To save 300,000!

Who controls the Calais garrison?

- Brigadier Nicholson. - Very good.

Tell Nicholson that it's central to this island.

that his garrison would draw enemies,

tanks and artillery, far from Dunkirk.

Encourage them to irritate and...

and keep fighting

if they have to

if necessary, until the entire command is destroyed.

It's suicide.

Prime Minister

I have reservations.

Who does not?

About a useless sacrifice

when there is a viable alternative.

What alternative?

Italy offers peace media

between us and the Germans.

I have already reported that if they assure us freedom and independence,

we will consider each proposal.

With... with Hitler...

Whoever has the knife on the side of the handle,

does he really believe that he will give us Liberty and independence?

It is in your interest, sir,

- because... - The only thing to do

and 'show me that crazy maniac

who can not conquer this island and, to do so,

You need an army. Referring to Brigadier Nicholson

that the Germans should not reach the sea,

at least not until we have recovered our boys from this

damn beach

I took full responsibility for that.

"Really?" - Really! Yes sir!

And that's the reason

so I'll take this chair!

Well, sure before you take responsibility

of the death of 4000 men, we should consider

all possible routes.

What does that mean?

How do you think about peace treaties, sir?

We can formulate the hypothesis, for example,

which prevents even considering

to participate in these negotiations?

I would be delighted to speak with the Viscount of Halifax

and Mr. Chamberlain,

alone.

Communicate the order to the Calais garrison.

Confirm that the decision has been made.

You can go.

You too. Come on, get out.

Bridges! You, come on, go away! Skirt! Skirt!

Winston,

We are facing a certain defeat in the field,

for the annihilation of our army,

and an imminent invasion.

We must be rational.

We are a maritime nation.

We went

since the age of bronze.

The Channel belongs to us,

It is our moat, our bastion,

and the Germans do not know a lot of water

bigger than a damn lake.

They must first get to this island, Edward.

Where we leave with men, women and children

that we had a duty to protect

- without any defense... "And who's to blame?"

against the most impressive army of all time.

In addition, France fell,

Germany will be able to concentrate on the production of

and will also be in the possession of the French fleet.

At that point, what could stop Hitler, Winston?

Words? Words? Simple words?

If he does not allow any peace treaty,

- I'll see myself forced... "Because we did not let Edward

simply meet the Italian ambassador Bastianini,

discuss the possibility that they act as mediators

between us and Germany,

and find out how much that would cost us.

Sir.

busy

Mr President.

Winston!

Franklin!

How are you?

Sugarplum. How are you, Prime Minister?

They are... in perfect health, in perfect health.

hear,

I'm calling you about your...

Ships of the Navy.

If you could lend us too...

- 50 ancient destroyers... - Oh, yes.

up to 40 would be fine.

Well I...

I asked around,

but it's not possible It's possible, I'm afraid.

The Neutrality Act, signed last year, tied my hands.

I can not intervene.

- I tried. "Then I could-"

I have your permission...

to send an aircraft carrier

to get the P-40 aircraft we buy from you?

Mr President?

He picked me up again.

A new law prevents the transshipment of military equipment.

Yes, but we already paid for them!

Li... we paid with the money that...

that you lent us.

I'm sorry, Winston.

You do not need to explain them...

the problems that afflict the Western Hemisphere.

Without your support, somehow...

I know I know.

You are in my thoughts day and night.

hear,

we can maybe

Tell me, Mr. President.

I mean, I mean...

We are...

in front of... to a terrible fate.

We could bring the planes

a mile and a half from the Canadian border,

and then you could send a team on horseback from Canada,

nothing motorized,

for you to bring them across the border.

How do you think?

By horse?

He... he said...

a... team on horseback?

Well, I think you can pull them.

These damn business have wheels.

Decide it.

We can do that, Prime Minister.

Prime Minister?

At this point, anything can do, Franklin,

It would be a great help.

I wish you good night, Winston.

It must be late, there.

So late...

that it would be hard to imagine.

Prime Minister.

Prime Minister.

You call me Admiral Ramsay from one of those.

Yes, Prime Minister.

Admiral Ramsay passes by me.

Admiral Ramsay!

He's the prime minister.

Bertie?

Bertie.

I hope I did not wake her up.

No, it's nothing. I was reading the Bible.

The Exodus?

Listen, Bertie, we have to evacuate our boys.

The Navy says that,

with a cruiser and 6 destroyers,

and with the Luftwaffe who controls the heavens,

We're lucky if we get 10 percent of that.

I want you to request a boat meeting.

Boats?

IT IS...

Civil ships.

All he can find.

Sailboats, transatlantic,

Every boat over 6 meters long you can reach in France.

Bertie, is she still there?

It's all right.

Help me organize this, Bertie.

We should at least try to bring some of these guys home.

I'll ask the BBC to say the order.

Big.

Bertie, is she still there?

Sir?

We need a name,

for this operation.

Dynamo

Good morning, Prime Minister.

Prime Minister, do you want to make a statement?

Prime Minister, Mr. Jefferson...

Prime Minister...

Prime Minister!

- The Prime Minister is going... - Prime Minister!

may 25th

May 26th

How do you drink during the day?

Practice question.

I...

Would like to talk.

I was asked:

if the plan does not work,

to save my family and I

going to Canada.

I would like to hear the Prime Minister's opinion.

My opinion is that he has to do what is right for her,

to his family,

and to the nation.

Their survival is paramount.

The prime ministers...

They seem to come and go at an amazing pace.

His position in Parliament...

They told me it's not solid.

My match

He is affected by the path

Chamberlain was barred.

Many others doubt me.

They still want Halifax.

But why get rid of the puppeteer

and replace it with the puppet?

Lord Halifax is a dear friend of mine.

I'm not undesirable.

I was not more reliable after the Gallipoli campaign.

Unwanted.

Maybe because people are afraid of it.

Who?

Me for example.

How absurd.

What...

Should I be so scary?

You never know what will come out of his mouth.

It will be something...

Flattering or something that hurts?

My emotions

I'm out of control.

An instinct

that I have in my blood.

Was sent to me

from my father.

Even from my mother.

We miss

the gift of moderation.

Was he related to his parents?

My mom

was fascinating.

But perhaps it will be appreciated by many.

My dad

He was like God.

He had to do it somewhere else.

Good morning gentlemen.

I asked

to the Minister

of war

to join us.

Neville, he wants...

Anthony.

obviously,

we are in a situation dangerous.

But I was assured by the French prime minister that,

although some German tanks have reached the sea,

The situation in general seems to be under control.

Is there any news from Calais?

The garrison attacked but was rejected

and now he is surrounded by all fronts.

They are exhausted and bombed without any mercy.

The losses amount to 60%.

Prime Minister.

The issue of peace treaties.

We should keep our nerves firm.

Let's just talk about what we're going to do.

to fight to the end.

An offer of peace

- is a symptom of weakness. - I agree.

Even if we were beaten,

abandoning the fight now would not make any difference.

So we try to avoid getting stuck

in the typical vicious circle of negotiated peace talks.

Vicious circle?

- The only... - I suspect that Italy and Germany

- The only vicious circle... - want to get involved in negotiations

to such an extent that they can no longer retreat.

Absurd. Bastianini told me...

- I propose... - The only vicious circle...

Do you want to stop interrupting me when I'm interrupting?

When I chose the War Cabinet,

I made sure that I was surrounded by old rivals.

Maybe I overreacted.

Viscount Halifax,

The approach you proposed is...

It's not just...

is not just useless,

but also exposes us to mortal danger.

The only mortal danger here

It's this romantic idea to fight to the end.

What is the end...

if not the destruction of everything?

There's nothing heroic about fighting until you succumb

if you can avoid it.

Nothing vaguely patriotic in death or glory

if the scale is hanging on the side of the first.

Nothing of ingloriety in the attempt to shorten a war

- that we are clearly missing out. - Lose?

- Europe is still... - Europe is lost!

And before our forces are completely destroyed,

it's time to negotiate,

in order to obtain the best possible conditions.

Hitler will not insist in outrageous terms.

He knows your weaknesses.

"It will be reasonable." "When will we learn the lesson?"

When will we learn the lesson?

How many other dictators will have to be...

acclaimed, satisfied

Good God, covered with immense privileges,

before you learn?

You can not come to terms with a tiger.

When your head is inside your mouth!

Prime Minister!

Winston!

Winston!

- Yesterday he gave me permission... "What permission?"

To meet Bastianini.

- I approved the theoretical statement - Theoretical?

of the compensation which Italy would have requested.

- Nothing else. I do not have... - If he does not allow

the continuation of the peace agreements,

Have my resignation.

It is not ridiculous.

"I need you, you know. - I will not be quiet.

watching another generation of boys

to die before the cursed altar of his arrogance.

Instead, it will make us to die like lambs.

Was not Gallipoli enough?

How to do it!

Our troops were chewing barbed wire in Flanders!

I was the only one who understood that!

Open a second front and surround the Turks.

a great military idea and would have done wonders if

the admirals and the first commander

they did not send the surprise element to the cow.

It's your choice, Winston.

You have 24 hours to establish a peace agreement, or I resign.

I told him.

Remained in stone.

I believe that.

I gave it 24 hours.

I do not think he will accept,

I'll fire you first. Then it will be his turn.

It is crucial to lead to a lack of confidence in the House.

I'm going to make the announcement.

The King will support us.

Prime Minister.

I wondered if we could fix the speech on the board.

Today, the Admiralty ordered

that all motor boat owners

between 9 and 30 meters in length

they must immediately inform the Admiralty. If...

For Brigadier Nicholson.

Thirteen infantry brigades.

Calais.

Every hour...

where you keep surviving...

It is a great help...

for our troops in Dunkirk.

I feed the most...

admiration

can

for its exceptional strength.

Despite this, his evacuation

will not take place.

I repeat...

will not take place.

Signed...

Take it.

Take it.

Can I say goodbye?

Can not.

What is it?

Nobody tells us anything.

It's all the stuff booked.

We feel fragments and it's worse than not knowing anything.

What would you like to know?

How many men will survive?

Come with me.

"I can not get into the map room." - Now he can.

Prime Minister.

- Prime Minister. "Rest, gentlemen.

Here it is.

The German army controls all French ports

except Dunkirk, here, and Calais, here to the west,

where a garrison led by Brigadier Nicholson

attracts enemy fire and slows the German advance in Dunkirk.

At both points,

our troops are surrounded.

We are still trying to free the port of Dunkirk

of shipwrecks to fit the ships

and take our children off the beaches, but

enemy planes constantly attack us.

The only hope we have in Dunkirk is

a thick cloud

This makes it difficult to attack, but the sky remains clear.

Not only that,

They informed me that I would need a...

a miracle to save up to 10% of our men.

Come on, Miss Layton.

Courage.

General.

As... how much time do you have left

if we will not save them?

One,

or maybe...

two days.

News from Calais. The thirtieth infantry, sir.

They retired in the fortress

as the last and probably the desperate resistance.

The order "every man for himself" was given.

Brigadiere Nicholson. There's a telegram, sir.

Well done.

All right, let's do this.

OK.

Okay guy? Are you alright?

Despite this, his evacuation

will not take place.

I repeat, this will not happen.

Urgent. Calais is falling.

Numerous deaths and prisoners. General Gort.

Come to bed, pig.

You should sleep.

Leave me, Clemmie

I missed the chance to do this a long time ago.

Control panel.

Who do I contact?

- Give me Ramsay. - A moment.

- Bertie? - What's New?

What's the answer?

It's going to take some time.

It's still too soon.

How many boats so far?

Winston, it will take some time.

The application for a civilian vessel was not a request!

It was an order!

May 26th

may, 27

Miss Layton. - Sir.

I need to track...

To track...

To talk to...

With?

At 15

At 3 o'clock, sir?

It '.

It '. Ask Bridges for... summon the...

the war cabinet.

At 3:00 p.m. Thank you.

Sir.

From Lord Gort to France, sir.

Belgium has fallen.

They will surrender

at midnight.

Soon France will do the same.

We have received a word that the most likely method of attack

that Germany could implement against our country

It is a large fleet of motor boats,

maybe even 200,

with 100 men each, which will lead to a sea incursion

on a large scale.

This means that a lot of enemies

could land at various points on the coast

simultaneously with air strikes in the hinterland.

No navy action or area appears

able to avoid such landing.

Could you repeat it?

We must prepare ourselves for an imminent invasion of the island.

We must prepare ourselves for an imminent invasion of the island.

We recommend notifying the country

and prepare you for the imminent danger,

and mobilize all necessary staff

to put England in a state of defense

without any hesitation.

Lights.

Thanks...

General.

Start...

all appropriate preparations.

Let me show you that I spoke to the Italian embassy in London.

Italy is ready to mediate a solution

between England, its allies, and Germany.

Maybe... then...

The moment...

where we accept such an offer

will come when

He will come when...

He will come when Germany

he will try without success

to invade this country.

- Unsuccessfully? - He leaves me no choice.

- if it does not offer... - Winston! Winston!

He is rejecting

to understand reality

How precarious our position is.

Our army will be completely wiped out.

should

Find chords!

Anthony?

Apparently no...

we will have no choice,

if you do not consider

the way...

negotiations.

If Hitler's peace conditions will be...

supremacy

in central Europe,

and the return of certain German colonies...

E-and-e...

if this guarantees us

our independence...

so I'll be grateful

to get us out of the chain...

difficulties.

It's quite unlikely

which will propose

such an offer,

but if you told me what the German conditions are...

In that case, I would be ready.

to take them into consideration.

Thank you, Prime Minister.

We immediately prepared a draft of the memorandum.

I came to ask myself,

in these last days,

if it were

part of my duty

part of... part of my duty, yes,

consider...

consider...

consider...

if... if... if it were...

Do not you need anything else tonight, sir?

If it was part of my duty

to undertake... of...

negotiations with this...

Hitler scornful relentless in aggression

what...

this cable

Do not.

What... heil Hitler ...

tyrant... evil monster

butcher... what...

how monstrous

wild.

This... that... this...

quell'imbianchino!

Where were we? At where...

Good?

I do not understand, sir.

She was...

I was?

He was murmuring.

Grumbling.

The... the... the right words...

they do not want to arrive.

They will come, sir.

No one knows how to put words together like her.

Your suitor?

My brother.

Where is he now?

He was falling back to Dunkirk.

But he never did.

What's new?

I'm just looking at you.

Can I re-read what we have so far?

It '. Yes please.

I have come to ask myself, in these last days,

if it were my duty to consider starting negotiations

with.

With...

I was here to imagine...

It's like I'm not here anymore.

Maybe because I've lost vitality or it's the building itself that's missing.

Canada.

You must decide, sir.

"He could reign in exile." "Really?"

Is this my destiny?

Do you know what I'm saying? I'm aware right now

of the anger I feel.

A tremendous anger.

Expensive?

Winston, my dear.

There is someone who wants to see you.

You have a guest.

My dear, you have the full weight of the world on your shoulders.

- I do not... "No, I know, I know.

But these are your inner battles...

they have you

trained

for this precise moment.

You are strong because you are imperfect.

You are wise because you feed doubts.

Then I'll let you in.

Who?

King

What king?

Our king?

Well, if it's not him, it's an extraordinary imitation.

Mr. Churchill.

I hope he will forgive me the late hour,

but his wife thought it would be a good time tonight.

Can we accommodate ourselves?

Oh... oh, yes...

Please.

Can I... can I offer you something to drink?

I...

I received...

the visit...

- From who? - Viscount Halifax.

It seems that the prospect of a peace agreement...

both dramatically...

increased.

The war cabinet is drawing up a letter

in Mussolini,

ask you to act as an intermediary

with herr Hitler.

Then Halifax...

was he right.

I would like to know your opinion.

It would be more useful to get to know her first.

My? I would like to meet him alone.

The nations...

who fall fighting fighting back, while those...

who surrender themselves meekly are passed away.

Belgium?

It collapsed.

- Norway? - Netherlands.

France at any time.

- Parliament's climate? - Fear. Panic.

It's her?

You are not afraid?

I'm terribly...

afraid.

The support...

in the war cabinet...

for a campaign of resistance...

It collapsed.

Later in the day, I will approach the House...

as a result.

You have my support.

Your Majesty?

You have my support.

I must confess...

which at first I had reservations about her.

But although some in this country feared their work, no one...

No one was as frightened as Adolph Hitler.

Anyone can instill fear in this brutal heart...

deserves all of our trust.

We will work together. He will have my full support at any time.

Hit the bastards.

I go to Parliament,

but without the support of my own party,

I must appeal to peace.

Once he gave me some advice. Maybe I... now I can give you mine.

Go to people.

Let them tell you how to do it.

Almost silently, as they usually do.

But tell them...

the truth. Naked and raw.

If the invasion is imminent

and our troops in France are lost,

they must be ready.

On certain topics...

I have few people with whom I can...

speak...

quite frankly.

Now, maybe we can have our mutual support.

And I do not scare any more?

A little.

But I can bear it.

May 27

May 28

We are ready.

More or less.

More or less, Bertie?

Give me a number.

In total, 860 boats.

The largest civilian fleet has already met.

Operation Dynamo in your orders.

Admiral...

Start Dynamo.

And that God watches over them all.

We lost the prime minister.

"Do you know how to use it?" - Yes sir.

Tell me, how do I do for Westminster?

Westminster?

The District Line. Est. One stop.

District line. Est. One stop.

"It does not seem difficult. - No sir.

Thank you.

Thank you sir.

The memorandum is titled "Suggestions of approach for Italy"

and is as follows:

"If Mr. Mussolini will work with us

"to ensure agreement on all European applications

"which protects the independence and security of allies

"and this could form the basis

"for a just and lasting peace in Europe,

"we will immediately get involved in the discussion,

"with the desire to find a solution,

"the issues to which Mr. Mussolini

"He's mainly interested.

"We understand

"that he wants to solve certain Mediterranean problems

"and if he wanted to declare, in secret, what he questions is,

"France and Britain will work immediately to the maximum

"to satisfy your desires."

And then...

This is the subway!

Thank you.

Is there... someone who has a match?

Thank you.

Thank you.

What do you need to fix?

You have never seen

The prime minister taking the subway?

What's your name?

Oliver Wilson, sir.

And what's your job, Mr. Wilson?

"Mason, sir. - Ah!

Mason! We will soon have

a huge request from masons!

The activity will grow.

Progress.

How much is this?

5 months, sir.

It seems so.

Ma'am, all babies look like me.

What's your name?

- Mrs. Jessie Sutton. - Oh, Mrs. Sutton!

What a pleasure.

Abigail.

Abigail Walker.

Marcus Peters.

Marcus Peters.

- Agnes Dillon. - Agnes.

- Maurice Baker. - Mr. Baker.

Alice Simpson. Alice Simpson.

Miss Margaret Jerome.

Oh, Jerome!

My mother was a Jerome! I think we're close relatives.

Please sit down. Sit down, everybody.

Thank you, Mr. Baker.

You how...

how are you doing?

With a good heart?

It '.

Fortunately!

We need it right.

Let me ask you something.

So...

I corrode.

Maybe you can give me the answer.

You...

The England's...

What mood do you have?

You are...

Are you confident?

- I would say yes. - Confident. How confident?

Much.

For some, it is a lost cause.

The lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.

- I can... "No, allow me."

I ask you one thing. If the worst happens,

and... and the enemy...

appeared on our streets, the above,

- what would you do? "We would fight."

"We will fight the fascists." - With anything.

"With brooms, just in case!" - Road by road.

They will never take Piccadilly!

No, Piccadilly never!

If I told you, all of you,

that we could,

if we ask if we ask kindly...

obtain very favorable agreements from Hitler

in exchange for an immediate peace treaty,

what would you say?

- Never! - Never!

- Never! - Never!

- Never! - Never!

So... never.

Never.

Will you ever give up?

No, never!

"And then I say" of the stands the prodigal Orazio,

"fearless captain:

"For every man on this earth, sooner or later

"Death comes.

"And how a man may perish better,

"If you do not face the scary events?"

"To the ashes... "To the ashes of his fathers,

"and the temples of their gods."

[NdT: "Horatius at the Bridge", Thomas Babington (1800-1859)]

You are crying?

Do you cry?

Yes, I'm crying.

Frigno a lot, you know?

I think you'll have to get used to it.

What... what's this stop?

Westminster, sir.

Westminster? It's my stop.

Prime Minister!

Sir!

The war locker...

Sir! They are waiting.

I have a duty to speak to the outside counsel.

- When? - Now!

I do not talk to them about the formation of the new government.

- Prime Minister. - Good morning gentlemen.

I'm about to speak to the outside counsel in my offices,

and I extended the invitation to each one of you who wants to unite.

Let's go.

In the afternoon

I'm going to send me to the Chamber

matters relating to the security of our nation.

At that precise moment,

the war cabinet

is preparing documents that affirm our will

to negotiate peace with herr Hitler

across...

his lacquer ', Mussolini.

I thought very carefully,

in these last days if it were part of my duty

consider starting negotiations with...

with this man.

But then I...

It '.

I talked to them.

Oliver Wilson.

Mrs. Jessie Sutton.

Mrs. Abigail... Walker.

Marcus Peters

and Maurice Baker.

Alice Simpson and Miss Margaret Jerome.

Valuable, good and honest citizens of this kingdom,

and animatedly discussing the uselessness

to try for peace now

to have better terms than we would have fought.

The Germans,

according to Mr. Baker,

They asked:

in the name of disarmament, our naval bases and more.

I think he's right.

Jessie Sutton, by the way,

he believes that we will become

a slave state

that a British government would be created that would be the puppet of Hitler,

a government created by...

- from Mosley or from someone like him. - No, no!

And I join them to ask another question,

a question that I turned to you.

Where would we be...

at the end of it all?

Someone would benefit from it.

Those in power could negotiate good terms,

insurance on the properties of your country,

far from the view of the swastika

what waves up... above...

- Buckingham Palace... - No, never!

Located in Windsor,

hanging in these same buildings.

- Never! - Never!

- Never! - Never!

So I'm here with you,

I'm here...

in front of you,

to know your opinion

at this difficult time.

See, I was pointed out by my new friends

that you could even stand up to destroy me,

if for a moment I had to think about negotiating or giving up.

Were they wrong?

- No! - No!

Were they wrong? - No!

Were they wrong?

- No! - Then...

I heard you!

I heard you!

And it seems to be your wish too

that if the long history of our island ends,

then it will only happen when each of us

He will be lying on the floor, suffocating in his own blood!

And when I asked what they thought of it,

there was a demonstration that, considering

The character of the meeting, I was really surprised.

There is no doubt...

that if we wavered in the leadership of the nation,

we'd all be kicked out of the office.

I am now sure of every minister of any party

He is ready to be killed immediately, and to have all his...

family and their assets destroyed rather than surrender.

In this way, they represent

almost all people.

It will be for me,

in the days and months to come,

express your feelings.

There will be no...

without peace negotiations.

And now everyone should do

What do you think is appropriate.

If you want to apologize, sirs,

I think now I'm going to have to go to Parliament

and I still have to write the text of my speech.

Here they are, the bastards.

- Piccoletto. - Sir.

Miss Layton? - Sir?

I need her.

We must renounce both, impose a motion of trust.

Let's go first to the House of Commons.

Join our colleagues.

And we spoke after the speech of the prime minister.

Here is a woman who is always tired

because he lived a life

where it was too much needed.

The prime minister.

Turning once again to the issue of invasion,

I would like to point out that there has never been a period,

in all these centuries, in which we are proud

when an absolute guarantee against the invasion

could be given to our people.

Myself

I have full confidence

that if we all do our duty,

if nothing is neglected,

and whether the best provisions will be implemented, as well as

we have done so far,

let's prove once again capable

to defend our native island,

to overcome the storm of war,

and to survive the threat of tyranny.

If necessary

for years,

if necessary

alone.

In any case, this is what we will try to do.

This is the decision

of His Majesty's government, of each of his men.

This is the will

the Parliament and the Nation.

The British Empire, with the French Republic,

united in their cause and in their need,

they will defend to the death

his native soil,

helping each other as good companions

to the extreme of his strength.

Yes Yes!

Although large European territories and many ancient and famous states

they fell or are about to fall

in in...

claws of the Gestapo

and of all the odious apparatus of Nazi domination,

we will not give up nor will we be less.

We will continue until the end.

Let's fight in France,

we will fight in the seas and oceans,

we will fight with growing confidence and increasing force in the air.

Let's defend our island,

whatever the cost.

Yes right!

Let's fight on the beaches,

we will fight in the places of landing,

Let's fight in the fields.

and on the streets,

Let's fight in the hills.

We will never give up!

What if...

What if...

which I do not believe in the least,

this island, or a large part of it

she was submissive and hungry,

then our Empire

beyond the seas

armed and defended by the British fleet,

- lead the fight... - Yes!

As long as God wills,

the New World, with all its power and strength,

You will go ahead to the rescue.

and the liberation of the Old!

IT IS! IT IS!

Angry!

Bravo, bravo, bravo!

Urra! '

It's all right!

Angry!

Angry!

Great!

Changed the idea?

Those who never change their minds do not change anything.

What happened?

He has just mobilized the Anglo-Saxons

and sent them into battle.

Of the 300,000 soldiers present in Dunkirk almost all

They were taken home by the Civil Fleet of Winston Churchill.

Neville Chamberlain died six months later.

Winston removed Viscount Halifax as soon as possible

of the war council and sent to Washington.

On May 8, 5 years later,

Britain and its allies declared victory.

Later that year, Winston was not re-elected.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal.

"What matters is the courage to continue."

Winston Churchill
