You will now hear a statement by the Prime Minister
This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German Government a
final Note stating that, unless we heard from them by 11 o’clock that they were
prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, a state of war would
exist between us.I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that
consequently this country is at war with Germany.
Still sounds chilling today.
