From the Paper:

"As it became apparent that France was about to succumb to the Nazi menace, Winston Churchill rose in Parliament in an effort to rally his countrymen to the cause of fighting such a seemingly invincible enemy as Germany and the Nazis. "The Battle of France is over. I expect that the battle of Britain is about to begin. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war." Indeed two days earlier, on June 16, 1940, Churchill had said much the same thing in a letter to the Common Wealth Prime Ministers. In that letter, he noted that the main danger would come from airborne landings, and an attempt by Hitler to run an invading force across the English Channel. "
