This short talk explains what happened at Dunkirk, Operation Dynamo and the evacaution from the Dunkirk beaches.
Often hailed as the "miracle of Dunkirk", the successful evacuation of 300,000 British & French troops enabled Britain to fight on against Hitler.

In the early days of WW2, the German Blitzkrieg smashed through the allied armies in France and Belgium.
Over 300,000 British & French troops were trapped around the port of Dunkirk.
It looked like the bulk of the British army was about to be wiped out and then the boats started arriving...

Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of over 300,000 British & French soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940
still ranks as the greatest evacuation in military history and enabled Britain to fight on alone against Nazi Germany adopting that famous Dunkirk Spirit.

In this story I will share the build up so you understand how serious the situation at Dunkirk was and then tell you about the evacuation itself. I will also reveal a few surprising stories about the some of the little ships and what some of them are up to today.

My name is Chris Green ("The History Chap") and I am on a mission to share the amazing history of Britain so that we can appreciate where we have come from and why we are here.

History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.

My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"

Just for the record, I do have a history degree and continue to have a passion for the subject I studied.
