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

[@niemand262]

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.

This is one of the greatest acts of humanity. Average citizens braving a warzone to help save as many soldiers as possible.

[@jafo766]

It's a disgrace , would not have been tolerated on either side on Russian front ! it was not a mistake when French Tank fired at British.

[@t.l.1610]

@@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]

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.

The British had to drag USA into Europe to fight the war they started...then old war criminal Churchill gave eastern Europe to Judea Bolsheviks...jolly old England

[@davidswift7776]

Humanity ,honor and humility an incredible display of British loyalty to their homeland. They understood how fortunate they were to have a country they loved!

[@ybreton6593]

Despite the success of the operation, 40,000 soldiers, 99% French, were captured in the Dunkirk pocket. In addition, all heavy equipment and vehicles had to be abandoned by Britain. 2,472 guns, nearly 65,000 vehicles and 20,000 motorcycles were left in France. 377,000 tons of supplies, over 68,000 tons of ammunition and 147,000 tons of fuel were also abandoned, not to mention the 4,700 British soldiers who died during the fighting in Belgium.

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!

I cover this topic every semester when I lecture on WWII. I made a short video about as well. Amazing story! I enjoyed the recent movie as well

So sorry to all that suffered..AND TODAY'S SOCIETY OUGHT to APPOLIGSE FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE...SHAME ON this world

It's my honor to serve, Sir.

I can only imagine how relieved those soldiers were to be back on british soil. 😅 A great documentary. So heartwarming to see these dear men brought home to England 🇬🇧 and the gratitude & courage of those who rescued them. ❤❤😊 5:54

Two British miracles...Dunkirk and Churchill

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

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]

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.

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

The Red carpet was not even good enough for those alive to represent all of the soldiers in the fight for their country and lives.

[@jafo766]

All they need to know is that Monty got told to $it down and $TFU !

[@thomasjones4570]

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.

[@matthewnikitas8905]

Well they were fighting in France after all so they should’ve been the ones to defend their own nation Britain was there just as their ally

[@dukejohn2898]

And the other two operations to get the brits from france, Operation Aerial, Operation Cycle. You never hear about those why?

[@PhilipDarragh]

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]

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.

[@Geojr815]

I always wondered what would happen if these guys all just found something to float on and tried swimming across the channel. It’s not that far

The German " Halt Order" actually saved these men..

[@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684]

Yes... the German forces surrounding the pocket were fought to a standstill.

[@JACB006]

Well done everyone involved in Dunkirk … your countrymen and future generations will not forget you. As an aside perhaps it’s time to send a boat to bring Prince Harry home?

[@Anglomachian]

I was confused for a moment when they said that no one remembered Dunkirk. Then they basically admit that what they mean is the the Americans don’t remember Dunkirk. And then it made sense.

Lend-Lease saved Britain, not Dunkirk.

[@madzen112]

Oh, and Pearl Harbor and Barbarossa, not to forget!

[@Hooibeest2D]

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.

[@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684]

Dunkirk is in France..... what has Dutch got to do with anything?

[@engineerenginering8633]

It didn't save Britian. Lossing those soldiers wouldn't have changed the war in any way.

[@charleelomas4109]

They were trained soldiers if they were killed then Germany probably would have won the war because they was no one to defend

Are these the guys that would stop in the middle of a battle for iced tea and let the Americans keep on fighting 24/7

[@Acer_Maximinus]

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

[@chuckb9867]

@@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]

@@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.

[@jafo766]

Miracle ? it was the greatest act of cowardliness I've ever seen , at least Burma Col. did NOT turn and run. I am proud to be FRENCH , we'll take a cab to the fight !

The UK has taken a very great number of immigrants over the years and this hasn’t stoped even now, but the numbers coming are destabilising the entire country… TOO MANY and TOO FAST. Just like Dunkirk, if yo7 load too many the ship will sink, we can only help so many.
