Battle of Dunkirk: Operation Dynamo 

How did the battle go??

They don't want to talk about that. It highlights just how incompetent they were. The entire thing was due to incompetence.

Dear Mr., how old were you then?

the Highland Division left at St Valery. Actually, a fair number of 51 Highland were evacuated through Le Havre. Around 6,000 were captured on 12 June when an evacuation fleet of 67 merchantmen & 140 smaller ships were prevented from lifting them, and the French army with which they were serving surrendered before a second attempt could be made.

Thank you for that reply to the above statement. I get sick and tired of the myth that they were left on purpose. At least the writer got it right that they where at S t Valery and not Dunkirk as is frequently written. Also the disgusting statement that Churchill hated the Scots is beyond belief.

Liberals in the US Dept of Education want kids to remain ignorant

Because the school administration and higher upside ARE NAZI'S

In America for the past 30 years or so high school history has done more in doctor nation and even when I took history we talked about the world wars, but didn't get in too much on the battles. It was more about invasions and conquests. Huge emphasis on Pearl Harbor bombing and not too germany taking over europe and the japanese taking over asia. Italy invaded, and they really screwed up and grieved, so the germans had to come rescue them. I took AP history, and since it was a college history class, we learned more. A p history did teach about the battle of britain & Dunkirk Sixteen days after france was invaded by Germany. we learned how the u k and france didn't have the stomach to go through anything like world war one again. They kept viewing a war with germany again threw no man's land. We learned about south pacific battles but not too specific and yet we knew the turning points in WW1 WERE #1 When germany invaded Russia but Operation barbarossa ended up being the turning point disastrously because of Russia Battling it out at stalingrad for about a year and a half overall. The russians had far more people than germany did, and they had multi-million. Germany didn't have that many fighters because their population wasn't that big, and they even relied on occupied countries they took, like Romania and Hungary, to help them. Another turning point in world war two was the battle of midway followed by the battle of Guadalcanal!! Ultimately, Okinawa & Iwo Jjma. #4 BIG TURN was operation overlord with the invasion of normandy.. German Gen.Field Marshall Rommell said, " We stopped them on the beaches or we don't at all."

They're too busy preaching LGBTQ crap

It seems that any PM of Great Britain after Churchill they wanted to bury the truth. I got a lot of history from my dad because he was in WW 2 he didn't spare anything and it made me 😭😢🇺🇸 but it seems they want to help hide it.🤦🏻‍♀️🤬

Dream on. The Luftwaffe had the upper hand until the long range escorts came early in 1944. USAAF and RAF bomber losses were staggering until then.

@@ericawollmuth5055 Really? Do you mean to say that the Luftwaffe actually won the Battle of Britain, and Operation Sealion was attempted? How did it turn out, by the way? I must have missed reading about it.

Battle of Dunkirk was brave & miraculous. Thank God for those british fishermen. Many around the world criticized America for not getting into the war when britain was bombed in summer 1940. 1st We had a navy but d militarized everything else after World war.1. USA ACTIVE ARMY 400,000. Maybe 25,000 MARINES. The USA had to build up again. Operation warp speed and last producing industry and everything and started sending britain through LENDLEASE Starting in march of 1941. We still have a much smaller navy than Britain and France, and that needed to be built backup and thankfully. It was to some degree by the time japan attacked us in late 1941. Praise God, our American aircraft carriers were out training in the Pacific and not in pearl harbor then or america would have had to start all over from scratch. It took a month to build a ship. That's fast, but it was operation worth speed, but replacing 5 aircraft carriers would have put the USA behind 6 months at least. USA in 1941 Was not at peand did not get there until the summer of 1942. It's not bad for a year and nine months starting from scratch essentially with the army and the Marines and limited ammunition that means issue and only a few tanks. We were isolationists and didn't want to get into that. Even though so many people think we shouldn't know, we couldn't sit by and watch. Russian civilians and military starbecause they didn't have food after germany invaded them. Russians had a fighting force, but they would have starved because the germans stole their food in Western russia and Central russia, starting out belarus and ukraine. America sent trucks and huge trocks for transportation purposes. Any food extra blankets and everything not just for the military but for civilian people to eat and stay warm. When the germans sawldos big trucks russia was driving some generals in the third right said they look like robots. Ha! Yet, Hitler laughed at Americans Making cars while they were making tanks. They laughed at american women for being decadent with panty hose, high heels, and makeup. American women are very spirited.. The men went off the war, & and women and older men traded in their high heels and painting hose for jeans & and button-down shirts & Put on Some kind of athletic comfortable shoes and went to work in factories making tanks guns airplanes, missiles & bullets. East & the women LOVED IT!!! WE ARE VERSATILE. British women seemed to be the fame even though they might not have been as decadent as American women but American women refused to give up their lipstick even. Though they did give up their make up. Sweating in factories doesn't go well with makeup so they just left to make up at home and left to had a night off. The reason the United States did not get in to help Britain. It's because we were not prepared and mostly because after WW1, the US was still owed $4 BILLION IN WAR DEBT & As crazy as it sounds, Americans gave the germans loans to pay The british and french for starting the war. Then the germans quit paying their reparations because they were printing too much money and had mass inflation. God knows what germany was wasting money on because they weren't Paying reparations & yet Printing money like crazy because I guess they were in debt after world war 1. Americans sincerely blamed the great depression In 1932'-1938 on Germany Not paying reparations and stop paying their bills. That resulted in UK & France not being able to pay us. So, USA Or rather the american people did not want that to happen ever again. That's why. It had zero To do with To do with lack of sympathy because Americans are generous & our Capitalist system allowed us to be. It's pretty bad now because we have a lot of indoctrinated millennials and Z. Who think socialism and communism is great and they know nothing about it. No way!!! That's part of what Part about what January 6th was about in 2021 & WHAT WE thought was going to happen to AMERICA & THE WEST, OUR ALLIES ended up being 200 TIMES WORSE! Joe Biden has plundered Text payer money and our fuel reserves. Gave everything weighed at china with more jobs, and we're the people who are pissed off. I hate to say this on social media and publicly await publicly away from my friends but with our fuel reserves being empty because of joe and his horrible administration, If we were attacked right now or our allies, We'd be in big trouble because they pushed for this climate change crap only to enrich people like bill gates and al gore Dunkirk was HEROIC!!! It was amazing and I would stand up and applaud great britain a thousand times for doing what they did..

@ericawollmuth5055 RAF KICKED Germans bombing out of Britain after 5 months. Now, true in 1943-44 Americans were bombing germany during the day and there were factories and the royal air force would bomb them at night. Germany starved their workers workers mostly brought in from northern you're up and ukraine. It really really sad. The germans didn't have or build the factories to make more airplanes and tanks because when they would start, USA & UK BOMBED Then again. The soviets have airplanes as well and they were bombing the german factories in poland. The u s a could reproduce airplanes in a day or 2, whereas 6-9 months earlier it would take a week or 2.

There's an entire series about how factories won the logistics part of the war. Even when the Germans had an advantage in technology, we had a lot more of things that were good enough. Factories at War

Agreed

Tell the Royal & Merchant navies that it wasn't a battle.

The luftwaffe caused much damage but no german naval Vessels intervened The divine hand restrained The evil However never should gone there in the first place Eight months of inactivity By bef even after Declaring war!

So who held of the German,s from Dunkirk while the evacuation took place ?

@@jimfinn2412 Actually, a joint British & French rearguard. The British contingent consisted of elements of a number of regiments, the Loyals, Leicesters, Sherwood Foresters, Warwickshires, East Lancashires, Borders, Coldstream Guards, Duke of Wellington's, Green Howards, Durham Light Infantry, King's Own Scottish Borderers, Royal Ulster Rifles, Grenadier Guards, Berkshires, Suffolks, Bedfordshire and Herts, Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, East Surreys, Royal Fusiliers, South Lancashires and the Black Watch. The last elements of the British rearguard were evacuated on 2-3 June, after being withdrawn to an inner perimeter, based the Canal des Moeres and the Canal des Chats as its principal defence lines to the south and east. for the last 24 hours or so, the British element of the rearguard was replaced by the French 8th Zouaves, 137th and 150th Infantry Regiments and the 92nd GRDI.

@@dovetonsturdee7033 Actually i made no mention on the nationality of the rearguard

Respects to your grandfather and his service during WW2, but as for the "Putin" nonsense, please tell me where the east/west "frontline" has moved over the last 30 years. Oh that's right NATO has moved its forces 1000 miles EASTWARDS hasn't it?

Simply stated - we are sleepwalking…again. Perhaps even appeasing…again.

@cyankirkpatrick5194 For Churchill, it was rather "Hold My Whiskey"

s a reminder for 1400 years the United Kingdom has been annoying Europe, particularly France. It is true that the British like to be beaten by the French and they have a curiosity to transform their defeats into victory. Especially in cinematographic films where the inhabitants of the British Isles give themselves the good role. They forget that they lost the Hundred Years' War, Waterloo without the Prussians, the Austro-Hungarians and Russians, Wellington and the English army was defeated. In January 1879, the British were defeated in South Africa against the Zulus during the Battle of Isandhlwana, in Kenya against the Moa-Moa, defeat of the Dardanelles commanded by Winston Churchill, during the Battle of the Somme without the intervention of the French army, the British were still defeated by the Germans. Fortunately, the French were at Bir-Akem against Rommel, otherwise the British were defeated at El-Alamein. Tobruk you forgot, Then the disasters in South East Asia Singapore, Thailand Burma this time against the Japanese!!! In July 1944 during a memorable verbal joust between the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the French General Charles De Gaulles head of Free France and the French resistance Churchill said to the French General >? Answer: from General De Gaulles ! Admiral Surcouf's response THE ENGLISH HAVE NO HONOURS AND THE FRENCH HAVE NO MONEY; A few years ago all of Europe saw the behavior of the British with Brexit while 46 years before they did everything possible to enter the Common Market but the President of the Republic at the time refused the English, it was Charles De Gaulles. Be careful, I have great respect for the British soldiers who died at Dunkirk and 4 years later in Normandy. but being from the Post World War Generation so my two grandfathers fought at Verdun and Craon during the 1914-1918 war, my father was mobilized in 1939 he was taken prisoner in May 1940 he managed to escape then joined the French resistance, his father also a resistance fighter was taken prisoner in November 1942 tortured he was shot by the Nazis on December 12, 1942, my father was caught for sabotage and derailment of a German train was tortured then sent to the concentration and death camp of "Mauthausen" as > if he survived it is thanks to the Spanish and French resistance of the Camp. When the Battle of Britain came, the English only suffered the bombings. If there had not been the 37 kilometers of the North Sea between Dover and Dunkirk, the British Isles had been invaded by the Germans, there would have also been the not very glorious double game with the Nazis of the English monarchy. Namely why the French were treated as cowards and Gouards while the Poles were defeated in 1 month! When in 1941 during Operation "Barbarossa" launched by Hitler, the Russians retreated 1400 kilometers, but in this story it was necessary to hide the weaknesses of the British, so it was better to treat the French soldiers as cowards. We must not forget that the English army was made up of so-called "professional" soldiers, and the French army, as in 1914-1918, of conscripts: farmers, masons, craftsmen, workers, miners, teachers, etc., etc., etc.

Vous avez Oubliez : Hasting

Bollocks.

1. Britain held the line when the U.S. Army was 19th in the world and the USAAF was less than half the size of the Luftwaffe, and their technological advances in the field of radar and cryptology were crucial to the U.S. war effort. 2. The Russians- at great sacrifice to themselves- tied down the bulk of the German Army and bled the Wehrmacht white on the eastern front. 3. American manpower, industrial production, and raw materials made possible the immense growth of the U.S. armed forces and the supplying of all of our allies- and made eventual victory over the Axis powers possible. All of our other allies contributed in no small part towards victory- so saying that "The only thing that saved..." is not very smart. The victory over the Axis powers in WW2 was an 'Allied' victory.

'Invaded France?' Whereever did you get that idea from? Or are you simply a fully trained idiot?

It's quite true that the Germans surprised and walloped the Allied forces in 1940. They crushed France and inflicted on the British their greatest defeat since Yorktown. But the Germans let the British (and a large number of French) get away- and Hitler had only himself to blame. Four years later, the Brits were back with friends and showed that the German victory in 1940 didn't age well. Funny thing about those Brits. They don't simply quit. There's an old saying about them that they "...lose every battle- except the last one".
