"We shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing-grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

The repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of every clause is a type of rhetorical repetition known as an anaphora.ex:"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shallnever surrender." (Winston Churchill)
The British prime minister refused to surrender to Nazi Germany was Winston Churchill.
That is a slightly altered rendition of a famous speech by Winston Churchill in which he expressed the determination of the British to defend themselves by any means necessary from the attack by Nazi Germany.
Great orator, led England while it stood alone against Nazi oppression after the collapse of Western Europe in 1940. "We shall fight them on the beaches. We shall fight them on the landing grounds. We shall fight them in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight them in the air, and on the sea. We shall never surrender.… and even if the Empire should last for a thousand years, men will look back on this and say, 'This was their Finest Hour.'"
The most famous section - copied from Wikipedia is - "...We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,..."
Winston Churchill famous proclamation in his speech was "We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,we shall fight on the seas and oceans,we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,we shall fight on the beaches,we shall fight on the landing grounds,we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,we shall fight in the hills;we shall never surrender"
Winston Churchill
He meant we shall fight to the death.
Definitely not. Churchill said that the British would fight at the landing areas, in the fields, in the cities, and would never surrender. He went on to say that in the unlikely event that Britain was successfully invaded, the British would continue the fight against Hitler from her colonies. In short, the British would never surrender, no matter what the cost. If more countries had acted against the Nazis as Britain did, Hitler would not have been so successful as a bully.
Winston Churchill . ~ "We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old."
