The Dunkirk evacuation was one of WWII’s great escapes. With 338,226 troops evacuated in just nine days it is one of Britain's most famous moments of the war, and with the term ‘Dunkirk Spirit’ being coined in its aftermath it gave Britain a huge morale boost, ready to fight again another day.

Anyone who could watch this without shedding at least one tear by the end of it just isn’t human.

Funny... not so many of the "never forget" crowd had much to say about the recent medical tyranny. I guess they forgot. Not all of them, however. Just like 99.9% of them.

@@jafo766Never heard of “live to fight another day”? Strategically, Britain losing that many troops would’ve spelled defeat from the start. They had to regroup.

@earlyriser8998 Год назад

The survivors of Dunkirk survived defeat to lead to ultimate victory. They are the the greatest generation. I can't imagine the dreams and nightmares they had for the next 60 years. If only Harry, who is a real soldier, could be a royal again and inspire people.

Absolutely gut wrenching! Incredible! This is hands down the most powerful & heart wrenching WW2 Documentary I have ever watched! The graphic footage was incredible! The personal testimonies of the soldiers & civilians who had to go through this terrible nightmare was so powerful & deeply moving! If we did not see & hear this with our own eyes & ears it would truly be unbelievable! Although, this clearly shows that the evacuation at Dunkirk truly was an absolute Miracle! As well as it clearly shows what courage & fortitude these dear folks showed in all of this horror! God bless all those who lived through & survived this terrible nightmare & gave us their heart wrenching testimony here. Moreover, God bless all those who selflessly & bravely gave their lives in this horrific war. May they Rest in Peace! Thank you for sharing this deeply moving Documentary! Blessings to you!

Two British miracles...Dunkirk and Churchill

@kirbygulbrandsen4507 Год назад

I’m an American, let me say the Americans might have helped turn the tables but it was so much more. A lot of people don’t give all of the others the credit, that’s why it was called the allied forces. It’s also a shame that in the United States of America, they don’t know anything about the Second World War.

@kirbygulbrandsen4507 Год назад

I listened to a man and he said you couldn’t help but be scared. I will say there is a big difference between scared and cowardice. God Bless that man, the English soldiers and the Citizens of England we’re definitely not cowards. It’s amazing how the world came together to rid this planet of evil and it was for England, France,Belgium, Netherlands, my home country Norway and many more. I’m sorry if I didn’t mention your country but it took a lot of nation’s to wipe out the most evil person in modern history.

@thomasjones4570 Год назад

We dont know anything about it?!? I know enough that this documentary and the movie about it left out the man that made this rescue even possible, Gordon Welchman...he was the head of Hut 6 and developed a new way to monitor communications, traffic analysis (known today as Meta Data). He discovered that the German army was maneuvering to trap the English and French armies and figured out himself that it would happen at Dunkirk, got word to the government giving them enough time for the rescue. Welchman is also the man who developed the Diagonal Board that sped up Turings Bomba unit that made it fast enough to actually crack the Enigma code because he also discovered a cypher to base it on.

@user-iw8pg8kq2q Год назад

IDK if ur, or any channel covered this question I want 2 ask. After the fall of France, why didn't Germany insist that France cede French NW Africa 2 Germany? This would have closed off the western Mediterranean Sea's entrance 2 the Atlantic Ocean. This would have left Gibraltar and Malta to die on the vine bcz they couldn't B resupplied. Then Germany could have pushed the British out of the Middle East. Then Germany could have had more oil than it could ever use. Do U have an answer 4 me? Tks.

@kevintemple245 Год назад

Simple answer, French Africa was controlled by the Axis via the Vichy French government. As long as the UK held Egypt, they couldn't keep the Allies out of the Mediterranean. Therefore the Axis was never able to achieve either total naval nor air superiority in the region.

“…stop…for iced tea…” They drank hot tea. And the US hadn’t entered the war yet.

@chuckb9867 Год назад

@@Acer_Maximinus even worse they took more time off to heat The tea thanks for educating me on that just saying the Americans were twice the fighters of any British Soldier United States even beat them back in the day in colonial times

@Acer_Maximinus Год назад

@@chuckb9867 “…twice the fighters…” I never heard any US soldier that was there say that BS. FYI, Any tea they made then had to be heated. And getting ice, especially during war, would have been a real trick for people who didn’t even have air conditioning. In WWII we began learning how to fight from what the Brits learned in N. Africa, while we were procrastinating.

@Hooibeest2D Год назад

I just keep wondering why the British call it Dunkirk??? Sure they can't talk Dutch so Duinkerken could be difficult but dunechurch is doable?!? It's the Flemish part of France and so Dutch is a official language there. Rijsel or Lille aswell but that's been french for ages and ethnic cleansed by the French so don't think anyone still uses Rijsel. But Duinkerken is common so I don't understand the Dunkirk name.

So we are talking about the battle where Germans trashed the british army and humiliated them by forcing them to "swim" back to home, so called advancing trough retreating in this case routing them.
