Questions for Discussion 1.When and how did the Germans attack the Soviet Union? 2.What was Churchill’s reaction to the news of Hitler’s invasion of Russia? 3. What policy did Churchill declare Britain would pursue? 4. What, according to Churchill, was Hitler’s motive in invading Russia? Text Analysis（I） In the speech, Churchill denounced the Nazi regime as most wicked, causing unprecedented death and destruction in the human history. Now it invaded Russia, and the Russian soldiers were making a life-or-death attempt to fight against the Germans. This was a crucial point. Text Analysis（II） Churchill declared the British government’s policy---to destroy Hitler and every vestige of the Nazi regime. Therefore, he called on all their friends and allies to unite and fight together. Churchill pointed out that this was only a prelude to an invasion of Britain. Thus, the danger of Russia was that of Britain. United, the anti-fascist countries would survive; separated, they would be struck down one by one.
