a hard to find winston churchill speech

#1

Post by harry6116 » 02 Apr 2014, 02:27

hey all,
i am posting this here because I think this is the most logical place to do so.
I am looking for a speech from Winston Churchill on June 22, 1941. The speech goes for 18 minutes and was recorded on the day Germany invaded Russia. In the speech Churchill called Hitler a "bloodthirsty guttersnipe". I found a six minute version of the speech but I know that the entire broadcast is 18 minutes in length. The speech is called Russia invaded, it is also called the fourth climacteric.
I have been trying to find good quality speeches by Winston Churchill for a long time. If this isn't the right place to ask for this kind of thing I apologise.
thanks for any help

Michael

He did recycle speeches. Are you only interested in video/audio files?

Hi, Michael
This link is a great resource of Churchill speeches in MP3 format. Try number 25, I think it may be what you're looking for:

that's the one! thanks max. There was a very good set on iTunes but the quality was so bad that I would not pay for them. The speech on Russia is muffled but understandable from the internet archive, it seems to the the only full copy around of it.
