Gentlemen who do you think said these words and who do you think he was referring to?

Question

Edit: Young boys not more than 21 who saved this world and saved the human civilization from the worst human carnage in our history.

Answer 1

It was from a Winston Churchill speech, related to WWII vets.

I can Google.

Edit: Sorry. I'm a feminist. I've never been particularly interested in observing a "men only" dictum.

Answer 2

It was Winston Churchill and the few were the Royal Airforce.

Sorry Tracey I had to read what you wrote again and agree I don't follow the "Gentlemen only Answer" policy either and the gentlemen don't seem to know the answer.
