"Never was so much owed by so many to so few" was a wartime speech delivered to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom by British prime minister Winston Churchill on 20 August 1940. The name stems from the specific line in the speech, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few", referring to the ongoing efforts of the Royal Air Force and other Allied aircrew who were fighting in the Battle of Britain, the pivotal air battle with the German Luftwaffe.

  • Never was so much owed by so many to so few (deutsch Noch nie haben so viele so wenigen so viel zu verdanken gehabt) ist der Titel einer Rede, die Winston Churchill, damaliger Premierminister Großbritanniens, am 20. August 1940 vor dem britischen Unterhaus im britischen Parlament gehalten hat. Der Titel ist auf ein Zitat aus der Rede zurückzuführen: „Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few“ (deutsch: Noch nie in der Geschichte menschlicher Konflikte hatten so viele so wenigen so viel zu verdanken). Er betont damit den Mut der Piloten der Royal Air Force (RAF), die in der Luftschlacht um England die britische Bevölkerung gegen die deutsche Luftwaffe verteidigt haben. (de)
