- Synopsis:
In May 1940, nearly 400,000 British and French soldiers were cornered by the might of the German army on the beaches of a northern French port: Dunkirk. They faced annihilation or capture and with their loss, the German invasion of Britain would surely follow. The truth of how the allied forces were driven to this dire position and the extraordinary tale of their successful rescue while under daily withering fire from the Luftwaffe is told in this gripping BBC documentary. See the moving testimony of British Expeditionary Force and Royal Navy veterans and how 600 defenseless 'Little Ships' were pressed into service including gripping archive film of the armoured Blitzkrieg across northern Europe with images of an army who never gave up hope, being delivered from the sea by the most unlikely vessels imaginable. Join Dan Snow on an unforgettable journey on the road to Dunkirk, in the steps of a vanquished army that survived and escaped against all odds...to return and to prevail. - Actors:
