Final line of the “we shall fight them on the beaches” speech, not delivered until after the microphones were turned off.

Presumably elite units would have been given the butt ends of all his used champagne bottles? And I'm sure he'd have been more than happy to stub out the remnants of a cigar in some fallschirmjager's face.

In the summer of 1940 he was in the right place at the right time, for the only time in his life.

If that's the case, it is indeed just as well he was there.
