"...Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war..
If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.
But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science."
And is preceded by something in the vein of:
"The Battle for France is over; the battle for/of Britain is now beginning."

This recorded version (bold text above) is available in The World at War, ep 'Alone', I think it is. Circa 1974.
The non-highlit text does not feature in TWAW episode.
Always good for a bit of approximately accurate history.
