The British were forced to use the Royal Airforce to protect French soldiers. This left the left flank exposed, where King Leopold III of the Belgians disgraced himself and surrendered to the Germans. This would never be lived down and eventually forced him to abdicate in 1951 in favour of his son. We also learn of the pressure WSC was under, Viscount Halifax was still looking for a peace solution and was putting feelers out to the Italians for a mediated peace. Would WSC cave in? When told there were no reserves and England would be left wide open, he decided to get who he could out. This put huge stain on the relationship with the French. As the boats came, British soldiers simply pushed the French troops aside in the desperate scramble. Luftwaffe continually strafed the beaches, the men below could only wait and curse the absence of the RAF.Murray, Williamson and Allan R. Millett. A War to Be Won: Fighting the Second World War.

Dunkirk is not just one of the best films of 2017, a b D'Alessandro, Anthony (4 July 2017). "Can 'War for the Planet of the Apes' Conquer The Summertime Franchise Blues? – Advance B.O. Forecast".

I have to admit that I skimmed parts of the book because it was too long but became enthralled at the heroism, revolted by the carnage, angry at the lawlessness of the Germans and, on occasion ashamed by the British.

Before the operation was completed, the prognosis had been gloomy, with Churchill warning the House of Commons on 28 May to expect "hard and heavy tidings". [119] Subsequently, Churchill referred to the outcome as a miracle, and the British press presented the evacuation as a "disaster turned to triumph" so successfully that Churchill had to remind the country in a speech to the House of Commons on 4 June that "we must be very careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations." [9] Andrew Roberts comments that the confusion over the Dunkirk evacuation is illustrated by two of the best books on it being called Strange Defeat and Strange Victory. [120]A marble memorial to the battle stands at Dunkirk. The French inscription is translated as: "To the glorious memory of the pilots, mariners, and soldiers of the French and Allied armies who sacrificed themselves in the Battle of Dunkirk, May–June 1940." The missing dead of the BEF are commemorated on the Dunkirk Memorial. [ citation needed] Bowman, Ghee (2020). The Indian Contingent: The Forgotten Muslim Soldiers of Dunkirk.
