This is a famous speech, marking the start of World War 2. The recording is currently used, along with a transcript, in Neville Chamberlain. The quality isn't perfect, but it's the best version we've got (or are going to get) and it's easy to understand what he's saying. As a historically significant, good quality recording, this deserved to be a featured sound. I have put the transcript on Wikisource - Wikisource:War with Germany declared.
